ESPN's Calvin Watkins reported restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas won't report to the Houston Rockets because of a difference of nearly $6 million from the offer sheet he signed with the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
The 7-foot Lithuanian played only 37 games (22 starts) during his injury-plagued 2015-16 campaign. Motiejunas has proven he can stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting, but is he worth the hassle of negotiating a deal?
If Motiejunas agrees to a deal with Houston, that would most likely mean less minutes for Sam Dekker. The second-year forward is developing into a solid stretch-4, shooting 41 percent from 3-point range this season.
