    Maybe his Samsung blew up on him. That's why he is still not matching.

    I'm ok with us waiting until 5:01 to match. That way I subconsciously have an excuse to procrastinate at work today

    Wouldn't it make sense for us to match at the last second, just so there isn't any surprise counter either from the Nets or whoever?

    I pulled this from the Chronicle:

    The Rockets will not make it official until the end of one-week period to consider the offer sheet, but Morey wasted little announcing the team’s decision.

    http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets...h-offer-sheet-to-keep-guard-Lowry-1711463.php

    So it seemed like last time we did this, with Lowry, Morey made it known publicly that we were matching and bringing Lowry back, but he waited to the very end to make it official. Am I understanding that right?

    Maybe Morey is just a little more careful with people trying to screw with him after the way the Parsons Cuban thing went down. So perhaps we won't know anything until it's a done deal?

    So after the Boston game, there's not chance of a big injury occurring at any other point in the season? Lol

    Further it wasn't just Brooklyn. ESPN reported BJ was calling everyone with caproom after the Nov 24th deadline past.



    They put out word, because they were trying to call Morey's bluff on a direct signing, thinking the deadline would get him to raise his offer. It didn't. So, they went after "Best Offer" out there. And $8.3m base was it.

    Sure, I posed an scenario where waiting might have been a way to test Morey's will to match, but nothing in the contract needed that Nov 24th deadline to block trades. In fact, I even speculated that teams would be more interested in post-Deadline offers to block Morey's trade, and BimaThug said "that makes no sense" since any match at anytime throughout the year provides that veto power. The difference between a Sept-to-Sept or Oct-to-Oct or Nov-to-Nov vs a Dec 5th-Dec 5th window of Veto Power is negligible.

    What are you posting a tweet of a gut feeling of another guy with no inside information? R U 4 real?
    If they are waiting to see if an injury will happen against Boston they are as stupid as this tweet

    My gut reaction is that DMo will be a net. Morey would have already made it happen by now.

    Dreamshake, lulz. A cf poster banished to write blogs on Wordpress, and whose last website was blocked from being linked to on cfnet. Love the "Verified" sticker he has now. lulz

    Feigen's gut says differently...fwiw

    That's a pretty funny tweet by Feigen aimed at Scream Quake. He has a sense of humor. Who knew?

    My gut feeling is that Dream Shake's tweet was just about his gut feeling on the matter. Nothing more. That there is for real, homie

    Sorry i couldn't produce sauces for you in a sauce thread. If only i had sauces to produce for you
