Anyone know anything about Motiejunas?

Mike

6'11 Big Euro who shoot's three but is also known to have a well developed low post game. Good Shooter, mediocre rebounder, OK defender. Motie was traded to Detroit last year at the deadline for a 1st but the deal was voided after DM failed his physical.

Some speculated that Van Gundy just had second thoughts and could have allowed the trade go through if he wanted. Motiejunas has battled injuries throughout his career and clearly thinks he's better than what the Rockets were offering him.

Rockets were originally thought to be deciding between Motie and Terrance Jones but ended up signing Ryan Anderson making both expendable.

I think he was promising but seems to have completely had his career derailed by injuries.

Milwaukee crushing the Nets in t he 2nd half.

I'm still a bit annoyed by the Clippers resting Griffin and blowing a 18 point lead the other night.  Nets could easily be 4-14 after losing the the Bucks tonight.

 I've got to step back from the edge after some of these Nets wins.....Like last night which was inexcusable.   Its getting bad, perspective-wise, when Nets win bother me more than Celtics losses .

Doc is definitely not the brightest bulb in the circuit .

I expect the Rockets will match the Nets offer sheet.  It doesn't sound like anything more than the first year will be guaranteed.

Agreed so much. Horford is brilliant, but we still don't have a superstar. Cousins is. If this pick stays top 3, we probably only need to add a one of Brown, Bradley, Smart or Crowder, and Terry Rozier and filler.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Bucks crush the Nets and they are tied with Milwaukee for 3rd worst record. Only Dallas and 76ers behind them. To think Dallas is only 2 wins behind the Nets is a pretty great feeling. The Nets look more and more like a bottom 3 team, with a Lopez injury away from being the worst team.

Right now the only team that looks like it will hold that other bottom 3 spot is the 76ers.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Embiid's minutes restriction just got a little more relaxed today.I think Philly can catch them. Dallas on the other hand...sheesh.

Phili is going to get out of he bottom 5 by the end of he season. Embiid will play more minutes, Simmons will start playing, and they will trade Noel for some guard help.

The Suns though I think will get worse and will be a legit contender for the worst record.

Milwaukee, Washington and Denver are the next three games. If they can pull off a 1-2 during that time, I will be very, very excited. The rest of December looks ugly for them.

Nets offer 4-year $37 million to Motiejunas, with the 2 back years non-guaranteed.  Houston is likely to match according to Woj.

The Nets seem to like picking up injured folks - McCullough, LeVert, and Motiejunas, who is coming off of 2 back surgeries.

Sounds like the Hinkie Seventy Stinkers, but at least they had draft picks.

I was just about to write "The Nets are getting shut down by the Bucks right now and they're not even over relying on Antetokounmpo.  This might be the blueprint against them going forward" and then Kilpatrick started getting red hot.  I still think the Bucks win it, but the Nets always give me heart attacks.  They have so many close games, granted that they lose, but it's always nice to see them get totally blown out.
