    They obviously know more than me. With all the time DMOs missed in the off season and regular season so far it may be tough for him and the rockets to get into basketball rhythm together. Sometimes that just happens due to injuries. Hopefully DMO can come back strong in the second half of the season and replace Capela to play alongside Howard in the starting lineup so the team can move forward, but the big question is will JBB actually make that move.

    I'm 100% for D-league rehab. He can get minutes that don't have any impact on the standings, he can play against lesser talent while he's trying to get into game shape, and he can cut loose a bit. It's OK to put the training wheels on when you're coming back from major surgery.

    Rumors on hoopshype say Pistons interested in D-Mo. Are they legit?

    It came from something Zach Lowe said, so if you think he's legit, they're legit. I don't think it's at all surprising that teams have interest in DMo.

    Don't think DMo would be drawing much attention right now. Pistons do need backup PF tho, Morris is playing a lot of minutes and isn't exactly top tier..

    Teams def have interst in DMO.... But the Question Is at what price? I'm sure e will have many suitors if the going rate is 4/32 maybe 36 mil but I really don't see these huge mega deals coming his way from other teams like a few on here believe.

    Time will tell but I think dmo is an 8mil a year guy when u factor in his injury history and lack of production over the past 3.5 years. I mean the guy only has 70 solid games of tape on him that's not that much.

    Dmo should go to the d league once he is healthy enough to play . He needs to get in a rhythm and in game shape , defensive rotations down again .

    This false rumours can't be good for Dmo's spirit. Anyway if it's inflamation on the surgery area that's not serious.

    The pistons will be interested in fa not in trade and if DMO isn't back soon he will look at a low contract.

    Working out to strengthen his back, core again, but has not started any basketball-related activities. — @Jonathan_Feigen

    So....he predictably came back too early?

    Or he was overzealous on his personal training, and strained his back.

    He looked like Frankenstein on the court. I don't think he was ready for game time. He only had one game where it looked like he was near his 2014-5 form.

    All of our players are hurt or have mental problems

    DMO is damaged goods.

    slightly reminds me of Tmac's bad personal trainer until he got to Grover.

    Remember he said he had several setbacks during rehab and Morey said DMo meant something else?
