    He asked a scout for an opinion between the two for one of our posters who asked him what the temperature was around the league.. It was not his opinion.

    You may have missed that, but no need to go at one of the only insiders we have on the board.

    Plow I agree with you on Dmo vs. Hill, but I don't think the rest of the league knows truly what to make of Dmo yet. The sample size isn't big enough this season in which he's been producing, where as for us fans we've seen him a lot longer and are more inclined to evaluate him based on our learnings of him over the last 3 years.

    I don't think it's far fetched to say the league might value Hill and Dmo near the same right now, but that the smart money would be on Dmo since his ceiling is so much higher than Hill.

    "People" who think they can pick and chose what information they want from him are ridiculous.

    Some scouts value Jordan Hill more than DMO. you don't think thats relevant info?

    Cyberx brings perspective from behind the scenes, how all this stuff works. I'd like to hear the good and the bad of it.

    Haha, yeah I was thinking about this too, but I think mainly it has to do with Rondo not getting to the line enough. This season is more of an outlier for him (barely been to the line), I think career wise he's in the 60 % range (not great, but better than Dwight).

    Yea but this is a scout, who by nature of the profession, are prone to being a bit...subjective :)

    Not really worried about adding a big man or guard at this point. Canaan will come around and Terry will be back soon. Who knows with TJones, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's back sometime mid-January.

    The current big issue is the amount of minutes we are asking of Ariza and Harden. That has real potential to come back and bite us.

    I would love that but I can't hang with everyone and put my name out there.

    The trouble I would get into... You have no ideaaaaa!

    Well if it's not today, would we even have interest in him at all? Wasn't the point to get him to where we could trade him if needed?

    Dmo on the Lakers instead of Jordan Hill. Lakers would have at least 3-4 more wins. :cool:

    I think that was part of it, but that's not the only part.

    The team could use an athletic wing defender to bring off the bench. Brewer isn't IDEAL because he can't shoot the 3, but he would be helpful.
