    I can see him signing with the Jazz or Cavs.

    Do we know for a fact that D-Mo passed a physical with the Nets?
    Here is my rationale.
    Rockets match the contract, then there is the physical.
    Rockets trade D-Mo to the Pistons, then there is the physical.
    Seems consistent that Nets would have physical after all negotiations are done/matched/not matched.

    This sucks for eveyone involved.

    Rockets lose a restricted free agent for nothing, one they wanted back at minimum as a trade piece.

    Nets can't sign a player they wanted, anymore.

    BJ looks like an idiot that botched the process and seemed to not understand some of the rules (like the fact that Houston wasn't obliged to match the extra incentives).

    DMO still doesn't have a team, just lost out on millions of dollars and raised even more questions around his health.

    And the league opened up their own restricted free agent rules to questioning.

    Even if he does, he'll be better off than on that horrendous deal he signed with all the team options... as long his back isn't completely shot.

    No they don't. The offer came down when the summer passed.

    They are complaining about collusion and seeing what can be done about it.

    He didn't craft it. They crafted and presented deal. BJ modified it all he could.

    @Deuce

    I didn't have much ear to the DMo megasaga, but if you look back, what I mentioned was (from a conversation with 2 guys)

    (Paraphrased) "Whatever that (dude) does, we're good. (with a final shot at "He's not one of us yet."

    I didn't think DMo was ever a sure thing, even with the Instagram pic that was taken. Something was awry.

    The team is 90% happy, with only a few disgruntled punks.

    Don't just look at body language. Look at minutes/DNPs,etc...

    Obviously, we need some help with the C spot, so a package/cash would be in order.

    As the implosions of some teams continues, the movement will happen. As of right now, with the way the Rox are rolling, there's no need to disrupt CORE chemistry.

    what i thought too. but we are playing 10 players. Wiltjer is like the Most Valuable cheerleader on the team and he seems happy just making the team and enjoying the ride, so must be KJ and Anus

    Can't wait to ship out KJ in a trade soon

    Harrell gets to play though depending on matchups and making an impact

    If it's Harrell then let's trade him and a pick for Noel. Harrell is a bit of a puncher and I don't know if we can trust him yet with that history.
