    Dmo is a injury prone 7ft player that cant rebound and plays lackluster defense. Doubt we care

    I don't understand how there can be anyone who doesn't like this trade. It has no downside. Looks also like DMO hasn't even started running yet. We needed a pf and this one knows our..system (lol) is good in rim protection adn in defence and will help us a lot.

    I bet the same people hating on this move are the same people who hated when the Rockets brought him in last season....

    Really need to hear Jones has been dealt to consolidate this move. I'm ready to watch Harrell make his mistakes while growing than continue to watch Jones cluelessly make his.

    Hopefully D-mo can come back and give us a full front court rotation of solid defensive players, that would be huge. But this is a nice start towards patching this comically leaky defense.

    Move helps us. We get some length, a little more rebounding, a nice stroke from deep when open, a good passer, some post up presence. We get a lot of inefficiency in return, but given our current state on defense and offense, this is much needed infusion of energy. Should unclog things enough to make a difference. While it remains a temporary band aid, it's something.

    Rockets trade Lin AND a first round pick and 2nd round pick to Lakers for rights to a foreign player.

    GREAT move. This will help with two huge issues: chemistry and defense. Hope he was still working on that 3 with the clippers, lol

    I don't expect this to fix anything in terms of winning. That said, it's getting something for nothing and makes several guys on our team easier to trade. So hurrah.

    Not necessarily, could mean TJones will be on the move

    For the billionth time. We tried to bring him back, but HE chose the Clippers.
