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.
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.
