This is a conversation with Bobby Marks from TheVertical who has read the offer sheet This tweet show him what Feigen said: Response in three parts Corrected wording at the end In a nutshell, teams can honor the bonuses, but are only obligated to cover the "Principal Terms"
He said RFA was dirty business! So turns out he was right all along! No doubt his pay per rumor subscription service price will increase after this.
Dumb... aint no one wanting to pay him more.. and who would want to sign him now? What a Drama Queen.
D.Mo is also being disrespectful to their teammates and coaches who vouched for him these days/months at this point...i mean, you have all the rights to find the best deal possible, but you sign the contract and than this? Pretty pathetic. And also unexpected by him tbh...unless this is mostly on BJ, and in that case i hope D.Mo fires him and get to the court as soon as possible.
"It's about money. The alumni are over there jerking off. What did we get Ricki? A tractor. We bought another guy a house! Hell...I dunno what we got those kids. I'll tell you...the best team we had was last season. They gave me their hearts! They played to the best of their ability! But, it wasn't good enough. It wasn't good enough for you! It wasn't good enough for me! It wasn't good enough for ANYBODY! Two words I never thought I would say. I QUIT!" Sorry...I had to break into the "Blue Chips" buying players coach speech at the end of the movie. It is about money, though.
What are the chances of the Rockets honouring the bonuses if he hasn't turned up for the physical? Screwing himself over.... The bonuses are probably all things he is unlikely to hit here anyway - I would guess X amount of games started might be one of them? Good luck with that behind flyRy.
Why am I not surprised by any of this? Now, new **** has come to light, man. It's almost as if BJ doesn't even care about the money. He's doing it for the lolz and Dmo wants to milk every last ounce of fame he has left by keeping himself in the news. Why? Because he KNOWS that once the contract is signed and he goes back to play for a team, he will be forgotten again, man. Dmo kidnapped himself, man. Did that ever occur to anyone?
That "bonus term" thingy is another evidence BJ is incompetent. I am sure there must be a way that could have made those terms look principal.
What a freedom fighter, huh. Just cut him. This makes us sound like the greedy capitalist exploiting his innocence.
then why is he currently under contract with only $5M guaranteed, whilst also being locked up at less than $8M per over 4yrs of his prime, when he could have just signed the qualifying offer several months ago (w/ a no-trade clause) and already been on his way to a contract paying at least twice that much next summer? the obvious reason is he knows there's a strong chance his back is not going to let him earn that contract
