Rumor: DMo to sign with Jazz if Favors misses extended time

Cappy_Smurf said:
Why is this still a discussion? Dude signed a contract already, which was matched by Houston. Dmo and his agent don't have a leg to stand on. Tough ****, you can't sign a contract and then decide you don't like the details afterwards. That's the agent's job to figure out BEFORE you sign. BJ Armstrong sounds like he doesn't know what the hell he's doing, but that isn't going to get Dmo out of his situation. No matter what anyone thinks of Houston's management, nobody twisted Dmo's arm and made him sign a contract he knew could be matched. Suck it up and play basketball, moron.

On top of this, can I just say.....he's not that good.

AT least not 8 page thread worthy anyway.
 
Strange that they'd suddenly let him walk after all that drama.



Obviously no teams was willing to trade for him, therefore making him more of a liability than an asset.

His back is likely garbage... I never really thought he was good... contract seemed a bit spendy even when healthy. His agent is a moron though... totally nailed this negotiation.

Now he can't go to BKN... Philly has 5000 big guys... We have space but more pressing uses for it... 2 teams have now balked at his physical.

Why can't he go to BKN?

No, he passed a physical in Brooklyn and Houston. If his back was trash Brooklyn wouldn't have tried to sign him. Detroit physical thing is rumored to just be a lie to get out of the deal since SVG got cold feet.

This probably had more to do with behind the scenes agent stuff.

Yeah but HOU didn't really match it if they let him walk?

They matched it and he refused to show up for the physical.

Then they reworked it and he got a physical.

Then something happened and they agreed to make him a UFA. He cant go to Brooklyn.

Okay he passed, but there are obviously still concerns... either way his agent way overplayed his hand and should have just accepted the Houston deal. Minny has space and so do we... He really might end up here if we can't get Hill to extend.

The Favors extension makes more sense next year with the new CBA. Would you rather play Withey or D-Mo?

I dunno, to me a 'match' means going through with the contract, him playing in HOU, HOU paying him, etc. If they didn't do all that then he should be allowed to go to BKN.

There is probably more to the story than either of us know.

Except that his agent stopped the full match because there were BKN specific incentives in there that he would not get (or something like that). It was a creative contract. I believe his side then said lets reconfigure it and they resolved the issues then hit more snags... His agent blew this one.
 
A match happened, he just didnt show up for his physical. If a match never happened, he would be in Brooklyn right now playing.

I agree the agent stuff played a factor too... I think the back stuff limited who would pursue him during the regular FA period. I don't think he wanted to go back either. The fallout will be interesting. I may start by firing my agent if I was him.

Right... that was how they voided it... it's all coming back.
 
If they didnt have this rule in place, it would be 100% impossible to ever get a RFA. Every team would just match knowing they could just trade him to the team that wanted to sign him.
