And he didn't.

Exactly.
News now are that the theoretical 7M offer from Rockets was actually aprox 5M which taking into consideration his buy out clause would have made him lose money.
He`s extended his contract with RM lowering the NBA buy out clause and increasing his salary to aprox 2M€, so next year he will be able to decide if he stays earning more or goes to the NBA paying very little.

he's not coming over
he got plenty of advise from Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez how NBA life suck

He's also teammates with NBA castoffs Andres Nocioni and Gustavo Ayon.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

He probably couldn't cut it in the NBA anyhow.

Care to explain how he was drafted at 21 years old without making himself eligible then?

Players born in 1987 were automatically eligible for 2009 NBA draft.

Not getting llull after passing on drafting a point guard drops the off-season grade to a c.

They could still get Lawson

But yeah, I think we're not use to this sort of silence from Morey after the last few years.

I do feel the difference between this season and last season is really not as much of a difference as people think, the scoring differential was essentially the same, the only difference was that 2014 the big shot fell against the Rockets, and in 2015 it was the other way around.

Interesting. I thought it was based on the player's age.

If that's the case, I take back what I said about Llull and will instead direct my animosity towards Morey :lol:

Well, it is based on players age, kinda. International players. who are least 22 during the calendar year of the draft are automatic eligible. Meaning players born in 1987 were automatic eligible for 2009 draft, just like Internationals who were born in 1993 (Arturas Gudaitis or Luka Mitrovic for example) were eligible for this years draft.

Oh yeah, I meant their age at the time of the actual draft. I didn't realize it included the entire calendar year.

I thought you believed morey could do no wrong and he was solely responsible for the team getting to the conference finals.
