Dmo will bring us back to the dark day of Dwight Howard... Please do not match him, we are no longer a post up kinda team anymore. Harrell can pick and roll 10x better than DMo.
Because having more good players is never a good thing, especially if you think they could be used as trade assets down the line. Nope, never need that if a Paul Milsap becomes available.
No but Dmo is going to pout if he doesn't get any playing time. The Rockets have a good thing going with their chemistry, bringing someone in to disrupt that would not be a good idea
In all fairness dmo isn't just a post up player. All evidence to me points to that he will do whatever for the good of the team. Also there could be scenarios where we have 3-4 guys injured at once. I'm all for matching dmo right now and go from there. Ease him in
Why are people labeling DMO as a post up player? He likes to get out and run. He will thrive under D'Antoni. He can play WITH the other bigs. He will take a lot of Nene's minutes. I have a feeling if DMO if matched, Nene will be traded.
A skillful 7 footer who plays hard and has a respectable back to the basket game is a luxury during the playoffs. It's a no brainer if we're serious about winning a championship.
Bringing in Dmo will do wonders for our team. Having another versatile playmaker coming off the bench who can bang down low or step out for that sweet shot of his will make our bench mob even more potent.
DMo and Harrell do different things. DMo is a stretch 4/5 who can help the ball keep moving on offense and operate in the post when needed while playing good positional defense. Harrell is an athletic monster who gives you blocks and dunks and just radiates energy. Both are good things to have....it's not a one vs the other situation.
I didn't think so at the beginning of the season. Now I do. Of course that changes throughout the season depending on who Harrell has to guard. Nurkic was dominating him yesterday early on.
the P&R Progressive facttion of the fanbase here demands a DMO-free ingredient list, but Morsanto of the Rocketfeller Foundation will likely lobby for inclusion
DMo can backup the C and shoot the 3 and is the fastest big we have on the break. Also, we will want a post up game once the playoffs come around, versatility is key to advancing. DD
