Donatas Motiejunas now a restricted free agent, no qualifying offer for Terrence Jones

You'll see.

 

I can as well, but I wouldn't want Bledsoe. Too much risk with those knees.

If I were the Rockets, I might be targeting Zach Lavine for something like Beverley, DMo (SnT) and something else. Seems like a guy that could fit, and don't be surprised if Minnesota balks at paying max money to all of their guys.

 

Toronto is still looking for a power forward but I think they're capped out. I could see DMo getting signed-and-traded there (can S&T still happen?); I don't know who we'd realistically target from them.

 

Lowry for D.Mo, Beverley (and filler/s)? I don't think they would do it.

 

Vala is also interesting, i'm not a great fan, but he has talent, and i really don't like how the Raptors are using him. Bismack was probably a better fit for them but well...

 

There not getting rid of Vala he's really really good and on a very cheap deal something like 4/64.

Dude was there best player in the playoffs before he got hurt. Bismack capitalized on his opportunity and cashed in but Vala was getting 15 and 15 damn new every game. He's a really good rebounder and finishs well around the basket.

 

Yeah i know and agree, i also think they should play more on him instead of going iso after iso with Lowry and Derozan all the time but yeah...

 

Vala and Dmo have been disappointing, they were touted as future allstars or stars.

They are lucky to be just decent or good role players.

 

Yup, but he did not do it consistently. It was just one season or two.

:grin:

Vala played like an all star in the playoffs before going down imo

 

From translated article:

"My agent leads to conversations with a lot of teams. I know that negotiations are already advanced. I would like to have this week to know where to play next season, "- said D.Motiejūnas.​

 

Kinda looks like Houston is planning to let DMo sign a contract and then choose whether to match. That makes me a little nervous for some reason.

 

Only if it is a 3 or 4 year contract. I think he gets Jodie Meeks to Meyes Leonard money, nothing more or less

 

Good deal

Bye Felicia

 

I hope Donatas goes to Minnesota or Houston.

 

Hopefully he gets paid and the Rockets match.

Tired of watching guys leave for nothing or little ....kicking that can....and spinning that wheel but never moving the needle.

pretty sure we will match. it will be a low deal and we need an insurance policy in case ryno goes down.

 

Google translate is getting better:

He added that currently do not have any health problems. After the season, he spent a month in Vancouver, where he worked with back specialist. After various procedures Lithuanian now feels much better and is ready to play in full force.
