    Don't worry. Codman already said Dmo isn't going anywhere unless it's for an all-star.

    Either Morey is holding DMo's back...

    Or..

    DMo is still going to need more time to get back and respond to NBA level play.

    Or..

    Big trade coming.

    Or he wasn't going to play anyway until they can get rid of Jones so he chose to do extra work outs instead of getting those 6 minutes.

    There's 96 minutes to go between the 2 front court positions or 24 minutes for 4 players. Yes, the Rockets will go small sometimes with Ariza at the 4, but this more likely due to not be able to play full contact basketball for like 6 months. Correct me if I'm wrong that DMo wasn't able to play full contact basketball until approximately 2 months ago?

    I think everyone is part of a trade package if the price is right.

    Not to mention DMo has played 13.4 MPG in his 14 games this season.

    It really is interesting that he's not suiting up for his 6 minutes a game, the team probably doesn't think it's worth it.

    If Dmo get's traded to the Suns for Morris a few GARM members will lose their minds and blow this site up.

    Well the numbers don't work for one.

    Also it would be a really stupid trade, so yeah, I imagine real Rockets fans would be mad about it.

    1. Sore back - very likely
    2. Showcasing TJones - likely
    3. Preparing for a DMo trade - unlikely

    If we were to trade him, it wouldn't be just Dmo going. Morey will throw in a few more players.

    Which would make it an even worse trade.

    Anyway, it's not happening so I'll leave you with your fantasy.
