    That's not good.

    I think Thornton was bad for our chemistry.

    DMo hasn't been healthy in a year.

    On the bright side his asking price for this summer probably just dropped, unless he comes back and just kills it for us.

    C'mon back home baby!

    But seriously, this kind sucks. We really needed that 1st IMO.

    Hope DMO doesn't seek a maxish type contract in RFA. Gladly take him back for 8-12M. But now he will probably look for the most money he is offered.

    Well, we just have to hope Detroit's medical staff was wrong just like if they approved the trade. That's the only way this works out for the Rockets.

    I don't see why not. The Rockets doctors cleared him.

    With Pistons voiding the trade, he most likely won't get that contract he wants. It's too much risk for basically an unproven role player no matter how much his idiot fans want to hype him up. Add in a bleak, uncertain future caused by back injury and surgery, IMO we are talking about a short term vet min most likely.

    Morey in trouble with LES should've traded someone else to get under tax, and knew it was a risk

    This is awful. Really shouldn't be allowed, Pistons basically got an extended look at Motiejunas.
