HOUSTON -- With the deadline to sign a qualifying offer approaching, restricted free-agent power forward Donatas Motiejunas?and the Houston Rockets have exchanged contract proposals but remain far apart on an agreement, multiple sources told ESPN.Motiejunas is seeking a larger financial deal from the Rockets, but the two sides havent had serious contract discussions in a month, the sources said.Motiejunas $4.4 million qualifying offer from the Rockets expires at midnight Sunday. His agent, B.J. Armstrong, told ESPN he gave the Rockets a Saturday deadline to work out a deal for him.If Motiejunas doesnt sign the qualifying offer, or if he allows it to expire, he can eventually sign a one-year deal with the Rockets that could be for less money. If that happens, the Rockets would not be able to trade him unless he granted them permission.Motiejunas also can accept a contract from another club, but only three teams -- Philadelphia, Denver and Brooklyn -- have salary-cap space to sign him. However, those teams have full 20-man rosters, so space would have to be created for a deal to be made. Because Motiejunas is a restricted free agent, the Rockets can match any contract presented to him.Motiejunas also can choose to sign with a team overseas or sit out the season.Regardless of what happens, the Rockets view Motiejunas as a valuable part of the rotation, with coach Mike DAntoni saying Thursday he can use Motiejunas as the backup power forward to Ryan Anderson.Houston has 19 players on its training camp roster, with the open spot left for the potential signing of Motiejunas.Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said last week that nothing has changed regarding the status of Motiejunas contract.Motiejunas, who averaged 6.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 37 games last season, declined to comment.The Rockets traded Motiejunas last season to the Detroit Pistons, but the deal was rescinded after he failed a physical. Motiejunas returned to the Rockets and started 17 consecutive games late in the season. Ha... Butker Jersey . LUCIE, Fla. Daesh... Hall Panthers Jersey .

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands -- Greece came from a goal down to beat the Netherlands 2-1 on Thursday and heap more pressure on beleaguered Dutch coach Danny Blind.It was the fifth straight home defeat for the Dutch, the first time that has happened since 1933, and underscored the depths the team has sunk to since being a losing semifinalist in the last World Cup in Brazil.After failing to qualify for the expanded European Championship this summer, the Dutch face a tough qualification group for the 2018 World Cup with its coaching staff in disarray. Two of Blinds assistants -- Dick Advocaat and Marco van Basten -- recently announced their departures, and the national football associations director is also leaving his post.Football in Greece is also in turmoil, with the government delaying indefinitely the start of the league and cup amid an ongoing dispute with league organizers over measures designed to combat corruption.But a Greece team drawwn largely from foreign leagues got a boost in Eindhoven after a shaky start.ddddddddddddGeorginio Wijnaldum bundled the ball over the line in the 14th minute to give the Netherlands a deserved lead, but the confidence ebbed out of Blinds team midway through the first half and Konstantinos Mitroglou leveled for Greece, getting in front of Joel Veltman to easily head home a cross from the right by captain Vasilis Torosidis.Substitute Ioannis Gianniotas grabbed Greeces winner, confidently firing home the rebound in the 74th after Jeroen Zoet saved an effort by Mitroglou.Its unacceptable at this level to give away goals that easily, veteran Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder said.The Netherlands takes on Sweden on Tuesday in Solna in its first qualifier for the 2018 World Cup, while Greece takes on Gibraltar.
