Negotiations between the Houston Rockets and Donatas Motiejunas have hit another impasse ?that leaves the restricted free-agent big man with an uncertain future in Houston, according to league sources.Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets pulled their most recent offer to Motiejunas on Tuesday night, deciding that they had kept it on the table long enough without being able to come to terms with the Lithuanian forward.Motiejunas, meanwhile, is surprised and upset that no deal has been struck nearly five months after free agency began, sources said.ESPN.com reported in early November that the Rockets had unofficially established Nov. 23 as their own internal deadline to have Motiejunas signed. Thats because Wednesday was the last day players could be signed this season and remain eligible to be dealt on the leagues annual trade-deadline day, which falls on Feb. 23 on the 2016-17 calendar.Sources told ESPN.com on Nov. 4 that the Rockets were offering a two-year deal starting in the $7 million range but with only the first season fully guaranteed. One source said Wednesday that the Rockets -- assuming talks are ultimately revived -- would likely reduce their pitch by at least $1 million in Year 1.Sources said Motiejunas camp, convinced that the Rockets have undervalued him, has been trying to drum up interest in his client from the handful of teams around the league that possess the cap space to present a representative offer sheet. Houston, though, holds the right to match any NBA offer the 7-foot, 223-pounder receives.If Motiejunas elects to play in a foreign league this season, he would remain a restricted free agent, which would continue to give Houston right of first refusal to match any NBA offer Motiejunas gets.?Motiejunas could have made himself an unrestricted free agent next summer had he been willing to play out this season on Houstons $4.4 million qualifying offer, but he let the qualifier expire Oct. 1, hopeful that a long-term deal would eventually materialize.The Rockets have been unwilling to guarantee more than the first year of a multiyear deal in a nod to the 26-year-olds injury history. Houston traded Motiejunas to Detroit in February, only for the?Pistons?to void the deal and send him back to the Rockets because of a failed physical stemming from Motiejunas back troubles.You always move on; were not waiting for him, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said Wednesday night. You try to develop guys and develop roles and we are doing that.At the same time, hes that good where if things change, well welcome him in and see what happens, DAntoni added. But again, this is a time that he has to get good with himself, because it is a business and the organization is a business.Players have to do what they think is best for them.The Rockets are off to a 9-6 start and have weathered Motiejunas absence, thanks to the strong contribution theyre getting from ?young forwards Sam Dekker and Montrezl Harrell.
