    Man, I'd love if we could get this year of service expunged than trade his ass for a 2nd rounder.

    I predict this will be resolved by the end of the day. I don't expect moron BJ Armstrong to come to his senses so maybe D-Mo will go against the best wishes of his agent.

    BJ Armstrong probably negotiated getting fired and future jobs may go away.

    Interesting historic factoid being raised by people on Twitter. BJ Armstrong is experienced in not showing up. BJ refused to report to the Raptors in the '95 Expansion Draft. Raptors then traded him to the Golden State Warriors for Carlos Rogers and Victor Alexander.

    What a mess. I don't want to comment much on the matter until the facts come out.
    I don't understand how the deal changes from Brooklyn to Houston when matched.
    Just on first glance BJ Armstrong and the Wasserman Group should be investigated
    for not honoring their client's obligations!!

    Yep... pointed this out earlier... he thinks he can weasel himself out of this just like he did before... He's as bad as Derek Fisher.

    Earlier this week BJ said "the competition committee has never made a rule change that has improved the game"

    After Draymond (also his client) kicked Harden

    Whoever does should include the phrase, "Knows his rights."

    D-Mo will look back at all of this and regret not playing for the tendered amount to start the
    season.....and then go into the summer as a free agent.

    Trying to get as much $$$$ as possible.....this won't work though.

    He is essentially doing exactly what Detroit did to him...buyers remorse.

    Don't blame his agent, blame DMO. He's obviously butthurt because the Rockets didn't throw $$$ at him. I mean the guy averaged 6pts last year lol. He had a good half a season, but outside of clutchfans nobody really cares about DMo but DMo

    What DMo is doing is what I'd do if I knew my bad back would be a lingering problem.

    BJ Armstrong has got be one of the worst agents around IMO. I can't blame DMO and his current age for following his advice but
    geeez luiz
    If he's trying to get more $$$$ then why the heck did he sign that offer sheet with Brooklyn knowing the Rockets could potentially match
    and lock him in as their property? I don't see where he's got a lot of leverage by doing this.

    Yes, but it's also what you would do if you were 6 years old.
