MILWAUKEE — The Nets signed restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas to a front-loaded four-year, $37 million offer sheet Friday, The Post has confirmed. Now, they have to actually land the Houston big man.
Both Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni and general manager Daryl Morey have said they hope to keep the Lithuanian 7-footer. And with the annual salary quite manageable, and the final two years of the deal non-guaranteed, according to Yahoo Sports, the Nets could find their offer sheet being matched. Sound familiar?
“We’re big fans of Donatas. We hope to have him at some point this year,’’ Morey told the Houston Chronicle on Thursday.
