Donatas Motiejunas : When I signed the contract I went for a for a medical checkup. Brooklyn cleared me and then when Houston signed extension they failed me on the medical. Q. But how is this possible? How can one team clear you and one doctor is like… Motiejunas: There was no such a rule. I'm pretty sure there's a rule right now in the NBA under my name. That was the first situation like that in NBA history. So in the end I couldn't go to Brooklyn as a free agent but because I was not cleared. So they kind of excluded that deal and I couldn't go back to either Houston or Brooklyn. I could go anywhere else. Q. How much was the offer? Motiejunas: I think it was 40-some. Q. $37 million over four years. Motiejunas: Yeah. Q. And so because of this rule the deal just vanished. Motiejunas: Yeah.
