    I know what you think about Dmo' skill set. But DD he's just a role player who can be replaced.

    And how long do you expect him tpo develop, especially when you have 7ft rookies already showing better skill set than Dmo.

    I highly doubt that because it's a very good chance Dmo will walk in the off season.

    but that's what makes them 'X' factors. When/if DMo starts giving us something, then we can better define what the 'X' means.

    btw: maybe DMo should get a new trainer. Maybe he's not working out properly.

    Look. Bobby has no idea. He doesn't know anything you don't know. And about all this showcasing business. Everyone around the league knows exactly what Jones can and cannot do. JB isn't showcasing anyone, he's just trying to win games.

    Playing Jones and Brewer isn't a way to win games so I doubt that's what he's doing.

    Dude I'm 41 so don't call me son. And if we trade him and win the championship you are anyone on here couldn't convince anybody that it was a stupid trade.

    What will be stupid is if they don't get anything for him since it's a great chance he will bounce in the off season. Especially if some team offer him a big contract.

    That's just nonsensical so I'm done with this conversation.

    You're done because you don't like to be wrong and you have a strong love for Dmo. And yes it's nonsensical because you're overly hyped for a freaking role player.

    No, I'm done because you aren't making any sense. I know you REALLY want the Rockets to trade DMo for whatever reason, but it's not in the best interest of the team.

    I'm hoping after Jones gets flipped in just under 2 weeks, you'll be a more rational poster.

    He is not just a role player, that is where the breakdown in these discussions happen, he is a solid starter, who is still getting better, and is unique in a league that unique players are rare.

    DMo will get 15m+ because of his game, and that should be in Houston.

    We already downgraded from Parsons to Ariza, let's not make a habit of getting worse by letting our good players go.

    Yes he played solid for as a starter last season with 12 points a game and 4 rebounds.

    Parson hasn't played half the season and he's not the defensive stud he was in his rookie year. Ariza all around game trumps Parsons one dimensional game all day everyday. Plus Parsons offensive game always disappears in the 4th quarter of games.

    Dmo is not worth 15 mil a year and neither is Jones. Plus it's a good chance Dmo doesn't repeat what he did last season due to that back injury. Back injuries are very tricky like that.

    He just doesn't get it and at this point, I'm not sure he ever will.

    He is absolutely a role player.

    Lol what are you afraid of, he cannot follow up his 50-60 games of good play then he is just a small one hit wonder.

    A music title that was a hit but the band could not come up with more hits.

    fool's gold or fluke whatever you will. You guys are trying too hard, let his action speak.

    What's there to get? Dmo hasn't really proved anything and if his back continues to be an issue, he probably will never live up to all this hype you keep spewing around here.

    And please stop acting as if you're some type of God when it comes to NBA talent evaluation. We're all just tossing around our opinions around here period.

    You're crazy. Ariza sucks. Huge stepdown from Parsons - not considering injury. Delusional.

    What, man you're tripping if you really believe that. Pasrons doesn't play defense anymore and his offensive game is not the same. I guess Maverick fans are delusional too because they're killing Parsons play right now.

    Parsons wasn't very good for Dallas even pre injury.
