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.

So when he stepped to the first tee on Friday morning at Hazeltine, Lefty knew he had to deliver.Given the buildup over the last couple years, the criticism, the comments, what have you, the pressure was certainly as great, or greater, than Ive ever felt, Mickelson said. I could have copped out and asked to sit. That would have been a total weak move, and I wanted to get out there. Put me out there. I enjoy that pressure.After a shaky start Friday morning, Mickelson found his form on the back nine and partnered with Rickie Fowler for a 1-up victory over Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan, part of a clean sweep of the morning foursomes by the Americans. His front nine was marred by a tee shot that landed out of bounds on No. 6 that dropped them to 2 down. But a superb wedge on No. 16 put Fowler in position for a birdie putt that squared the match, and Fowlers tee shot on 17 helped them reclaim the lead for good.Certainly I played tight. This guy loosened me up, Mickelson said, nodding toward Fowler, who won a Ryder Cup match for the first time. Thats why I wanted him as my partner. He knows what to say and when to say it. He got some of my best golf out there in the end.Few have more riding on this weekend than Mickelson, who raised eyebrows with a pointed critique of captain Tom Watsons strategy after the Americans were rolled by Europe at Gleneagles in Scotland two years ago. Watson was sitting at the table with Mickelson while he railed at all that went wrong -- in Scotland and for much of the last two decades -- for the Americans in Ryder Cup play.Mickelson also had to apologize Thursdday after offering up unprompted a stinging criticism of Sutton by saying the 2004 captain set up Woods and Mickelson to fail by giving them just two days notice that the two would be playing together.ddddddddddddickelson pushed for the creation of the much talked about Ryder Cup task force, a group including Tiger Woods, captain Davis Love III and Tom Lehman that was dedicated to identifying the problems and giving the players a bigger say in the process.The task force drew snickers from the Europeans, who are 8-2 in the last 10 Ryder Cups and going for an unprecedented fourth straight victory. Lee Westwood didnt pass up a chance to take one more shot on the eve of play.You form a task force and it doesnt go right this week, where do you go from there? Westwood said. Youve done pretty much all you can do.So well see how that goes.It wasnt easy for Mickelson and Fowler, but it worked. They were 2 down after six and again after 14 before winning three of the last four holes to take the tightest match of the morning.The way we stepped up again on the closing of the back nine just like we did on the front nine, hitting some shots that we needed to, it was a lot of fun, Fowler said.Love gave the pair the afternoon off, and they were left to watch as Europe charged back into the fray.Mickelson is the elder statesman on the U.S. team, playing in his 11th Ryder Cup. He will be back on the course with Fowler for foursomes on Saturday morning, facing McIlroy and Thomas Pieters.If Mickelson was kept out of the action for a second straight round, Love may have heard about it.I think we all kind of sensed and had a good feeling heading into today that the morning was going to go well, Mickelson said. We didnt know it would THAT well, but we knew were going to have a good morning. And gosh, the guys just played some incredible golf. ' ' '
