    Well another thing this means is that the trading of T Jones or D-Mo is less likely. We need them both!

    The loss of Howard wouldn't hurt so much if James was a 100% too. We need the big fella for his defense come playoff time so smart move by the org to sit him out as long as needed.

    I hope so, there no need in trading either DMo or TJones. Morey should go after. PG: Pelicans 1 pick, Snved, either NJohnson or Canaan. Don't know what that can get the team though?

    Cyberx actually said that both dmo and jones are technically on the block...It's just hard to do anything with those two because of Jones' injury. Need to wait for his stock to rise again and revisit options, then they'll have option to trade either.

    If there is any month to take off to heal off, the month of February would be it.

    This why I like our team and obviously haRden is the main reason but we can still compete easily without Howard. We have enough players who can step up aka dmo

    Sucks it's only a month. I mean...we're better without Dwight, right? Really gotta capitalize while he's down.

    Well... it is what it is. My two primary concerns:

    1. Bev and Harden are getting beat more and more lately -- really sucks not having Dwight in the middle to clean up those mistakes.

    2. Need way better rebounding from TJ/DMo. We survived the first stretch without Dwight, but Tarik was a beast on the boards -- especially the offensive glass. Joey Dorsey appears to be our best offensive rebounder, but the obvious downside is that he's Joey Dorsey.

    Given that alternative was he could have been out for the season, I will take this 10 out of 10 times.

    Blessing in disguise.. Gotta get through this time without him but Dwight needs to get back to 100%. Let's get to the playoffs healthy
