    Look, you can finish your thoughts on the subject. Don't make me do it for you!

    ;)

    Actually, I could see a Trevor Ariza + DMo sign-and-trade for Harrison Barnes, given Barnes' contract demands, but I digress.

    Uh, the only thing I ever wanted with VSpan was to see if he could replace Rafer as he was god awful, nothing more than that.

    The narrative that grew out of that is crazy.

    We do tend to overlook smarts though.....we need a Battier something fierce....or a Scola.

    The return of "Donatas Motiejunas - X Factor" is approaching.

    Taking his rightful place as the Rockets X-Factor once again.

    I think its obvious DMO is the reason the Rockets beat Golden State and the Spurs on both their homecourts this season and he should be runner up for MVP by the end of the season with some of the DMO only fans. LOL. Hopefully he can come in and help the team and add the depth in the front court like they need.

    Morey needs to put his name next to the X on the offer sheet.

    You have to admit though, if we match, DMo is the Rockets X-Factor this year, probably moreso that 2014 when OP started this thread.

    One way or another, a DMo X-Factor thread/discussion is inevitable.

    I've resigned myself to the fact and embraced the inevitable. He is truly our X-factor!

    For me right now Gordan is the real X factor.

    Per Merriam Webster:

    Strong but unpredictable. Sounds about right. Strong because we know what he's capable of doing on offense. His health is unpredictable, and while I don't personally think he'll become a locker room issue, some others on this forum do.

    No, you have to pick someone who we drafted, and DaDakota likes. Dem da rules.

    The only other candidates are Wiltjer and Dekker.

    Those calling him the X factor forget that Gordon and Anderson are just as injury prone as him, and have better stats. They are way more X-factorey

    I suppose then with Gordon, Anderson, DMo, Nene and Bev who are all injury prone, the maths says we will have 3 of 5 available at all times.
    Just wonder if we kept Jones whether that would've moved the needle to 4/6 or 3/6.

    Rockets just jumped the Warriors as title favorites.

    No one wants to see the Rockets in the playoffs.
