    You mean a whole team who can do that?

    A healthy Dmo will help us tremendously, if not off the bench initially then perhaps in the starting line up with Clint backing him and Dwight up. I'd rather have a consistent effort from Dmo versus a pretty inconsistent Jones.

    So rumors are no longer about actual trade talks. Rumors can be about "our sources say they are mulling it over, we think internally." lols

    What would be more shocking is a rumor that they are not mulling over the idea that they can't keep both.

    Donatas said he is in the best shape of his life. He has fully recovered from the injury and got stronger than ever before. Doesn't look like this back injury reoccurred to Dwight, shouldn't for D-Mo either.

    Like heyp and others have said ... the shock isn't because of the rumor, it's because there are people who are shocked by it.
    I also agree that TJones should get traded before Dmo....:eek:

    Between Jones' broken brain and DMo's broken body, I think we could probably eek out a whole 12-pack of Coke for both of them. Might be worth it. The rest of the team looks like it could use some caffeine.

    Jones missed many more games than DMo did.

    I think you'd trade all those guys for LeBron.

    That is unless you already forgot what LeBron did to the Warriors last year...

    But I thought you said Lebron was untradeable?? :p

    So, since Lebron is not on the market, then some of those other players are not tradeable. Don't confuse untradeable with best player.

    Haha good point. Either way, I think this is a non story because front offices probably entertain trading about 90% of players, or wondering hey I wonder what we can get back for this?? Leaks are probably mostly intentional.

    has to be jones. he's a solid backup big, not a starter. harrell showed he can play
    and i'd rather see a backup trio of capella, harrel and ariza, dependingon mathcups.
    he keeps up that 3pt shot his value will be at its highest.
    his numbers are virtually the same as the last 2 years. a change of scenery, esp on the east, should boost his numbers.

    In addition to the above, the PF need to be above 6'9", a vocal leader, a glue guy, and can easily make Japanese food when called upon.

    I hope it's TJ even though he has little value. Perhaps a 2nd rounder?

    If it's DMO it better be a bonafide PF coming this way

    DMo is such a unique skillset a solid 7 footer who is left handed, quick, smart and efficient.


    Those do NOT fall off trees.

    T-Jones just doesn't have it between the ears. I got pissed off at his clueless reaction to the dumb flagrant foul more than the flagrant foul itself.

    Morey will get something significant no matter who he trade and Clutch out of everyone here you should already know this big timer.

    Another thing how will he get something remotely significant with the small contract Dmo has? Will he give him a raise and then trade him or will he add several players/draft picks to get the type of significant player you think is worthy?

    TJ is a pretty average NBA player who won't get any minutes with a healthy DMo, CC, and Dwight. And we're certainly not going to pay him after this year. So, see ya....


    As to DMo getting dealt.....
