    DaDakota needs to be on a posting restriction. 10 a day at most. Keeps clogging up these threads saying the same thing over and over.

    Then every agent representing non max restricted free agents should be fired then. Like they can stop teams doing this? Wake up.

    Lulz. Thanks for explaining how you got fooled all this time. This isn't what happened; it's just how you remember cooking it all up in your pink elephant state of mind.

    And love the "50 ways to leave you lover" bit. You need to finally leave your convoluted ideas that you are married to, as well.

    No, just every agent who lets happen what you say happened to DMo. And he still needs to be fired, even in how it actually happened

    This happened to Rich Paul last summer with eric Bledsoe. He had to leave millions on the table to get a deal done. He's about as powerful an agent s there is in the Association.

    I don't know if he's actually trying to be serious or not but I certainly laughed my ass off when I read that.

    I love Bbholics posts. Keep em coming BB.

    Like I said. All the other RFAs that year got offers. Their agents got their clients offers either from their teams or other teams in a timely manner. Only BJ failed to do that. So no, all the other agents did not fail.

    No they did. DMo secured an offer too. And they went through some of the same bull.

    Don't have time to search for the link, but you're in for a treat. It's one of the classic "bbh is 100% he knows more than everyone else - gets owned - and then pretends like he was right all along. Pretty much how every conversation with him goes.

    What are your thoughts on the Kennedy assassination?

    A) Grassy knoll guys
    B) Oswald
    C) Space aliens
    D) Morey

    Cause I gotta say, it's looking more and more like it's gotta be Morey. Ami right?

    Why would you find that insulting??? Rockets want to leave as much cap space so they can get even better in the summer. It's not like Dmo and BJ don't know this.

    Seems to me the simplest explanation is that Dmo/BJ made a deal with the Rockets on Friday, and the league stepped in and said no. That's the only way I could imagine the league would be an "interested party" as Morey was quoted as saying.

    Some people just don't get it. This is not a pickup game at the park. Certain players hold monetary value, and team would be foolish to donate that value to another team. We've seen 2nd round picks sell for millions of dollars.

    One time I saw a documentary about the NFL, and how the athlete are probed and measured before the draft, it seems almost humiliating. But it is the price to pay in order to be eligible for a multi million dollar contract. This is the case for all levels of sports.

    There are plenty of playground legends who kept their dignity and did not subject themselves to these types of physical examinations. And they have 8-5 jobs, making average citizen paychecks.

    But to suggest the Rockets did something wrong is an emotional opinion. Based on a different reality. Athletes know what they are subjected to. And the rewards are million dollar contracts.

    So, if you disagree with any aspect of the team you should just drop your fandom?

    Then he should have taken the offer, especially if it was around the $15m/yr you mentioned several times.

    The idea that dmo had an offer for $15 million a year or $10 million a year or whatever is ridiculous. I can't believe holic sticks to that
