[Stein] Rockets Latest DMo offer "multiyear starts at a fully guaranteed $7m in Yr 1"

I feel like DMO is getting bad advice from his agent. What will playing overseas accomplish for him? He goes overseas, has a bad season and then struggles to get back into the NBA. If they don't take this deal then his agent has done a disservice to him. Take a deal where you can opt out and try to prove yourself this year.

 

If his back is fine why did SVG rescind the trade? He loved DMo's skillset and was set to offer him a big contract. Unless you think Detroit is underhanded in their dealings too.

 

He showed he was fully okay during the playoffs. And he hasn't played intense basketball since then. His back should have rehabbed to 100% by now.

 

I think this is the deal.
Good...enough for both sides.
Let's see if Dmo can run, he used to could,

 

He's sports a very respectable 54.4 TS%. And he's doing it while creating his own shot. He's come into his own.

 

Well first of all, I'm not sure he'll keep that efficiency up, I think the small sample is influencing that. Also, he's not even pretending to play power forward anymore and that's helped him out a bit.

 

Never.

 

I expect he'll go back to what he averaged last year (14/5 on 53 TS%), but that's still pretty solid for a SF. And when he came into the league he insisted he was a SF instead of an undersized PF, which I thought was ridiculous, but I guess that came true.

 

as I thought. Bobby is stuck 1 year ago. Wake up and watch some more teams. Things change. Now SVG has traded away the players Dumars left him and got the roster according to his system.

What is sad is that someone completely ignorant would come here and declare players he haven't seen in 12 months as useless.

 

At 8 mill per I wouldn't mind having him on a guranteed 2 or 3 year deal, with team option would be better but at that price you almost can't loose.

 

Corey Brewer is making that much. You certainly can lose.

 

Dmo at least has go to moves. Corey has JBB.

 

Is it really new development though? All we know this offer might have been there ALL THIS TIME, and only we found out about it now. DMo's camp might have been declining this offer ALL THIS TIME and Rockets never upped it. To me it doesn't sound like we're anywhere closer to getting a deal done, only that ESPN found out what Rockets are offering.

 

What are you talking about? He had one good game in game 3 and all the other games, he looked like complete garbage. We can chalk it up to rust, but we can also chalk it up to his back flaring up or his core strength being unstable still. Point is, without sufficient games under his belt, no one knows.

 

Bingo

 

Dmo is a 7ft skilled post scorer with some range, IMO we will always be able to trade him without giving away assets because of his potential. Even if he gets another big injury, there will likely be multiple teams willing to take a chance of him at 8 mill per.

Brewers contract isn't really a looser anymore BTW. Scrubs get 10 mill per now if yall haven't noticed. Brewers contract is now basically fair value in this market.

 

I wonder if Morey is trying to strike potential longterm value out of a situation where dmo has no leverage.

I have a feeling Morey is offering a 3yr contract of say 25m. 7/8/10 with the last 2 years both non guaranteed as well as both team options(is that legal under the CBA?)

Would allow us out at anytime if we need salary and he sucks, but also gives us complete control of a potential very valuable contract.

Dmo should take the contract, he literally has no leverage anymore except the Nov 23rd trade date. And I understand why bj would leak that along with the overseas thing, its his last and only leverage left to try and gain more value out of the negotiations.

Any answers on the offer I brought up and its legality @BimaThug @craguin ?
