    This is terrible news. This means D-Mo's back is in bad, bad shape.

    I knew it. They did the same thing the 1st time D-Mo went out. "Oh it's just tight. Oh it's just sore" Then boom out indefinitely, needs surgery.

    Yes.

    We needed him more than we thought, and he let his ego get in the way of making the smart choice. Mistakes were made, now lets forget that and do what's best for both of us.

    I never understood why he didn't re-up with the Rox last summer. Let's hope he wants to be here, and do all we can do to make him feel welcome. Maybe we'll be yelling, "No-no-no-no-no-YES!!!" many more times.

    On the fence, Josh Smith this year vs Josh Smith of last year? One thing for sure, we need to do something...

    I'd say it's more a sign that Morey has no faith in TJ/Capela.

    Like the move, low risk and he fits as a secondary playmaker in event we move Lawson. I'd insert him in the starting lineup immediately.

    How crazy is it if we face the Clippers as 5th seed playing them as 4th seed, and then Josh Smith does it again. I think Chris Paul would cry actual tears.

    He still takes bad shots and is a turnover machine. I hope sitting on the bench has improved his offensive bball IQ
