    If DMo goes there, does it open up a possible Ask to Houston trade?

    Secondly, don't ****ing try to leverage yourself when you have little to back it up.

    Third, don't **** with Morey.

    Fourth, hire a better agent. I'm sure BJ wanted D-MO as the poster boy for changing RFA language. Unfortunately, BJ must've not learned Dmo had serious injury issues, failed a physical. and only had one very good year.

    I'm 100% a fan of Dmo. I really loved him. I thought we were at our best with him and Tarik manning the front court for that small span, I would've loved to have him healthy at the 4 with Capela over even Ryno. But he's just not worth the risk, financial leverage, and stress given health issues, and stupidity by his agent. I became less a fan of his and hope he has to be battle now Asik, and Tjones for PT.....again.

    Funny question, do you think Pelicans' system is a better fit for him than Rockets?
    Seriously, donno what was his mind process in this. He should go to some teams who actually play inside like Spurs even Grizzlies will be better option.

    Asik would be very good back here, I believe change of scenery will help him. However, he has negative value. That's his market, if the Pelicans want him, I'd ask for a first back but given we'd be dealing freaking Brewer, maybe a 2nd?

    Brewer, KJ for Asik, protected 1st.

    DMO was at this best when there was high p&r and high ball movement from hi post to low post. He would've been excellent here if healthy and happy. He's a willing passer, decent 3pt shooter, very good low post scorer.

    Pelicans system is horrible.

    First of all, AD don't play that much of inside post like other great bigs did. So don't see open up floor is that much important in their system. They didnt do good job on that anyway, look at Ryno & EG when they were with them compare to this year ;) For the Dmo vs Jones, I personally think Jones might win over D-Mo again :D

    Would Asik fit in D'Antoni's system?

    I doubt he can stay on the court or jump over a phone book

    He should not go anywhere that he is not going to play a lot of minutes, that would be stupid, it would be better he goes to Europe and plays for the year and comes back next year with a larger contract...than being on an NBA bench.

    Probably a great fit next to AD and T Jones. Will watch lots of Pelicans now.

    This was a great exchange between Feigen and DMo conspiracy theorists who obviously know more than the Rockets beat writer. Bobbyholic makes a cameo appearance.

    Bholic: "Y'all are stupid, New Orleans is paying him more $$$ under the table" :eek::D:p

    On the real though, Dmo ****ed up big time and royally if he isn't getting some under the table money. Could signal also that he is healthy and is gonna bet on himself.

    We may never know but it would not surprise me if the league paid him some $$$ to simply hush up about this whole thing.....pretty common practice to sign agreements for cash not to disparage any party.

    Either way, he probably starts at Center in New Orleans with Davis.

    Wasn't it at New Orleans where D-Mo hurt his back and played his final game of 2015?

    DonĀ“t understand this decision. NO frontcourtd is crowded. For the minimum could have been better go make some highlights with more minutes.

    No, there is still a huge piece missing, the league getting involved. There is no reason for the league to get involved in any contract - something smells super fishy, and where there is smoke.....
