    All I know for sure is that no outcome to this mess will please me unless it includes the Jazzholes getting reamed.

    I would've thought it has already hurt his career. Supposedly failing medical with Detroit. Now 1 month into the season not playing and continued negotiations. Now not turning up to the Rockets medical and rejecting the matched offer.
    Who would trust him after this? If this is his or BJ's doing, let him rot.

    REMINDER: BJ ARMSTRONG REFUSED TO REPORT TO RAPTORS AFTER THE EXPANSION DRAFT.

    There is precedent to his actions.

    Upset, eh?

    LOL. I'm not a huge DMo fan guys. I am somewhat ambivalent about whether we keep him or not. Read my posts about him. All I'm doing here is giving you info and helping you understand the other side. That's called balance. If you don't think DMo has a case here and if you think BJ is a bad agent.......then you need to take off the homer glasses and wake up. If DMo were unrestricted this summer he'd have signed for $60 million or more. Probably more.

    makes me wonder what the Jazz are offering - Bj must think it is better so if he holds out on the physical, drops the Nets offer, ad moves to the Jazz's offer? Not bad on BJ's part if so.

    I call BULLSHET on that $60 mil. If teams wanted to offer him that, they would have and wait to see if the Rocket's match. To think they were afraid that the Rocket's would match is ridiculous considering the other people who got contracts and offers, RFA and not. The issue here is two fold: 1) DMo has injury history and future concerns, 2) DMo is not a PROVEN NBA superstar or super role player, he just has "potential"..

    You are just wasting up forum space with your continued bullshet of being some type of insider and bringing us fair and balanced information. You used to post some really good things that I enjoyed reading, but this and other issues make you to be a self glory seeking forum troll. You just love the attention we all give you, including this post. It bothers you not to be right or wrong, it's all the same attention to you.

    More silliness here guys.

    Do you really think Dennis Lindsay is going to tamper? If you do........then you know nothing about Dennis Lindsay.

    There's no tampering here guys. That's you guys jumping to conclusions based on a tidbit of info. You should consider other possibilities. But no, you're dialed in on tampering like a drunk man in a bar that thinks all the guys are flirting with his scale 3 girlfriend.

    Again, Tyler Johnson, Allen Crabbe, Harrison Barnes etc. These were not UFAs. They signed huge deals. What was stopping DMo(besides the fact that no one wanted him)?

    Every post you made in here are having the same goal : trying to prove you are right and you are smarter than others.

    Which eventually it ended up being some of the dumbest shlt we ever seen.

    60 mil my ass. Even the sorry ass Nets won't even willing to offer him a full year guaranteed contract.

    Your argument doesn't hold weight. Look at the contract we gave Eric Gordon. He's a walking medical dictionary.

    I kind of agree here. What's more likely here, that Utah is stupid enough to tamper so blatantly and get caught, or that this is a fake offer floated out of BJ's camp to try to void the Houston physical? Why would he do that? Maybe because if he took the physical there would be no more contract.

    The posters that are looking dumb are the ones that insisted he should sign the QO and the $7 million deal or he was dumb and stupid.

    You can throw around the word dumb so much that it finally sticks.......to you.

    what chronic ongoing medical issue does gordon have that was so serious gordon didn't even want to take a physical because of it and the rockets had to put in several different outs in his contract on the high chance he would need to retire for medical reasons?

    Wrong! Mostly freak injuries, some unrelated. But most importantly, unlike DMo, a proven TOP TALENT NBA player. DMo ain't proved shet but that he has "potential".

    I guess the difference is that at least Gordon was willing to take a physical from Houston. (besides the fact that DMo on his best days weren't close to a crippled Gordon)

    I think the Nets contract opened a window for DMo that he is healthy and ready to play. NBA has a lot of money and many teams are looking for qualified players. DMo is a qualified NBA player and he will get his contract somewhere once Nets passed his physical. This whole situation is mainly fault from DMo's awful agent.
