    Marcus Thornton feels slighted.

    Except the Rockets don't want him.

    And Marcus Thornton.

    I'm gonna cry/laugh my head off it Detroit offers DMo a huge contract during the summer.

    You could argue their plan all along was just to get a deeper look at his back, and even if it came back positive, they could void the trade and know exactly what they were getting into later on.

    I feel bad for D-Mo, but other than that, I love it.

    I would imagine they would be subject to sanctions if they offered him any contract this off-season.

    Would DMo's agent even entertain offers from Detroit at this point? They just cost him a good chunk of change through this decision

    This could be a blessing in disguise, maybe we can resign him with a much better offer because another team has determined he could have a recurring injury.

    On the other hand this could be real bad if indeed the back injury is serious.....i love dmo glad to have him back but iam a little worried

    if this team is to really turn the corner,,, then,,, dmo needs to somehow miraculously totally heal and somehow becomes the second anthony davis. :)

    The Rockets may have legal grounds to sue for that first round pick if Detroit finds a way to mysteriously offer him a contract in the summer.

    Does anyone know exactly what type back surgery D-Mo had? Was it microdiskectomy, spinal fusion, or something else? Welcome back D-Mo, Thorton and more lux tax. Bye bye draft pick.

    Was this a tricky ploy by Detroit to try to change the lottery protection and our front office answered no??

    What a crazy season.
