Well if he gets the offer sheet that's at least 2 years guaranteed making the holdout worth it in the end. Either Morey has to shell out the extra cash or someone else will pay him. Hopefully Morey doesn't cheap out unless the Nets' offer is ridiculous. Either way this whole thing was win-win for DMo and his agent..
Was it the 18th pick? Nobody looks good at 18 and further down. Also we got Joel Anthony. He isn't even playing. And we traded Marcus Thornton. He's with the Wizards this year. Good gawd have you seen his FG% this year?!?! What a chucker! uf!
Yup. That still irks me. We just had to get into the playoffs so that we could say we got into the playoffs. Jeff Teague was also moved around with that same late first we should've had as 9th seed.... So we could've had Teague or Hill. We chose a 1st round beat down.
Yes, 2 yrs "guaranteed" in length. But the CBA says nothing about requiring guaranteed money. There is a possibility the contract could allow cutting him for no more money if he gets reinjured (like an NFL player)...or cut him to make cap room available. Not to say this is going to happen. But from what BimaThug said, there is nothing that says it an offer sheet requires fully guaranteed 2nd years.. He is better off signing a 1yr with Morey, to become UFA. That's arguably what he was holding out for....and/or more guaranteed money.
Well, Brooklyn might have wised up since their GM who traded away: (a) the pick that turned into Damian Lillard for Gerald Wallace's corpse and (b) the entire farm (1st rounders galore, 1st round swap rights, etcetera) for the corpses of Pierce, KG, et al
I'm talking objectively, not from the Rockets fan point of view. It doesn't matter what DMo could have had because that's a BIG IF, especially with his injury concerns. If BJ manages to get something better than $7M then he's done a heck of a job and deserves every penny DMo pays him.
The PISTONS trade was stupid, DMo was better than anything we would have gotten at that pick....that is why I was pissed then, and why I am happy that he came back. He is an NBA rotational level player and a starter as well - a proven commodity, when can we start building with them instead of flipping them all the time? DD
so now that Pick has pretty much confirmed they will indeed offer him a contract, we are just waiting to hear the number and years. I think it will be more than 8 per. Perhaps 10 per for 3 years + 1 team option.
A single incomplete season that ended with a season ending back injury followed by a terrible season is hardly what anyone in their right minds would call a "proven commodity." Let's not get things mixed up here. Anderson is a proven commodity. D-Mo is not.
You mean like when the Spurs flipped George Hill for a draft pick after this third season with them? You're right, DD, championship teams don't flip assets and proven starters.
The detailed statistics don't lie. Chandler is making $22 million and has a PER of 8.14, shooting less than 40%. Such a shame that Morey lost out on a major bargain like that.
Has anybody even seen this guy play recently? Not trying to be a dick here but it seems like Dmo hasn't even stepped on a Bball court in ages. Yet, just reading through some of these forums you would think he's the 2nd coming of Pau Gasol. Is there something I'm missing here?
