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

It's like I agree to buy your truck verbally and you accepted, but then later we mutually walked away from the deal.



Did the 'sale' happen?

It depends how the CBA define a 'match' is what I'm saying. Does it require that they go through with the contract or can they just let the player walk?

Dude, I'm not making this up. He can't sign or be traded to Brooklyn for exactly a year after Houston matched the contract. ****ing google it if you dont believe me.

There is nothing to define. Houston infact matched the contract. If they didnt, he would be in Brooklyn. It's kind of like a RFA signed a contract then his team matched it.

Bro, it's not 100% clear yet. Look at this tweet:

Basically had HOU let him walk 2 weeks ago he would already be playing for the Nets. Now HOU for some reason matched, then wasted time, then let him walk all for no reason.



It's like Morey hated Sean Marks and wanted to do it out of spite. Nets aren't even in the same CONFERENCE as HOU.



It makes absolutely no sense.
 
I mean if I were the President of the Players Association I would definitely step in here and see what's going on.



DMo now basically has no leverage. No other teams wanted him other than the Nets. It's a lose-lose situation for the player.

I'm sure other teams wanted him. Being a UFA is a lot different than being RFA.
 
For a while it was being reported Donatas wanted out of the deal because another team wanted to sign him for more money.
 
This whole situation is simple. DMo needed to take the qualifying offer when it was available. Then once this season was over he would be a true free agent.
 
Why is this even being discussed? The Jazz are set and in no way need to cloud up the future with a stupid contract to a backup at best.

I guess the idea is with Favors' injury, DMo can provide a 1 year insurance for when we go to the playoffs, etc.
