    DD, we know it’s true love, but it’a while ago, it’s time to move on.

    I don't wan't D-Mo, but I will take his butt sweat and see if we can make Curry or KD slip.

    Presti will probably sign him just to try to look better than Morey

    I should add, and everyone will agree, the thing that truly went wrong was D-mo hiring quite possibly the worst agent in the world. His agent ended up getting D-mo f**ked multiple times.

    They did settle the lawsuit - and kept the details private.

    D-Mo gets signed to OKC; causing George to leave and sign with Lakers, Melo to go to China, and Westbrook to demand a trade.

    No. I wish DMo's name would disappear from this board. Its absurd how much credit he gets here compared to how much he actually did. The ship has sailed, please people be a fan of the Rockets and let DMo be.

    fun fact: D-Mo was a career 30% 3 pt shooter in the NBA and only averaged 0.5 three point makes a game.

    Not quite how it happened. He didn't take a physical per the Matched contract. It was the second contract. It went like this:

    1. DMo signs with Nets with a package of incentives
    2. Rockets match, but aren't required to match all the incentives, so they don't include them per CBA rights
    3. DMo refuses to show up for physical
    4. DMo and BJ say they won't show up as protest to the lack of incentives because "I know my rights"
    5. Rockets refuse to release DMo from the matched contract according to their CBA Rights
    6. DMo and Rockets agree to a brand new contract. So Rockets release him from the matched contract and they sign a brand new one as RFA, which both sides ok, as it put the incentives back in, and changed the trigger dates each year for guarantees
    7. Then another snag
    8. To this day, I don't think we know what happened, but everyone assumes he took and failed a physical. But it could be that the league nixed the second contract, altogether, likely meaning another NBA team first had to complain.

    CBA has a shorter 3pt line.

    I say go for it!

    The Warriors are playing dirty by keeping Zaza. We could use DMo's buttsweat to trip and injure Curry in retaliation

    Here are some relevant washouts playing in the CBA. Jimmer heaving an absurd 12 threes per game and still hitting over .420. Vooooon Waaaaffeeer hitting .496 on a very respectable 4-8 per game.

    Dmo putting in 23.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.8 turnovers. Here, he'd probably get 10 minutes max, and perform at about 30% of the rate as his CBA box stats. That would mean about 3 shot attempts, 2 points, 1 board in 10 minutes. Git r done Morey. scrubs.JPG

    9. Sued Rockets and NBA - who settled case out of court for an undisclosed sum of money.
