    That's a possibility, thus the reason why they brought back Josh Smith.

    Happy about the Jsmoove pickup. Gives Dmo til the All Star break to get right. Something Morey wanted.

    Not even running yet? ...Guess at least until after the ASW. No way like that other poster said nine days. Why people come here to post lies?

    That's what he said and other people have mentioned he said something similar.
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/Lockedonsports">@Lockedonsports</a> I think it has more to do with Tjones being traded soon. Dmo told season ticket holders yesterday he'll be back in 2 wks</p>&mdash; Phil Strae (@straenba) <a href="https://twitter.com/straenba/status/690563028962545664">January 22, 2016</a></blockquote>

    Now he could have meant he'll get back to working out in 9 days, either way he'll be back by All-Star break. :cool:

    God I hope Jones is gone. I'm more than happy to see what Harrell can do if given regular minutes.

    D-mo is becoming a huge concern, back injuries are no joke. I love his game, and think he brings skills that could be of huge help in allowing the puzzle pieces to fall into place(floor stretcher, ball movement, PnR defense). But you can't help from the sideline.

    If we can get him back Howard/Capela, D-Mo/Smoove is a great front court rotation. I'm not as sold on Harrell if we have to roll with him, but at least he is athletic and plays hard, maybe he can start correcting his mistakes with regular minutes.

    ok so the poster is not the liar (sorry about that unknown poster) DMO is the liar who from not even begun to run he said he will be back in 9 days. Or he is way way way way too optimistic.

    Motiejunas obviously very difficult to predict. All they can do is work on his strength and monitor symptoms to see how he progresses.

    If DMO literally is not running yet then it may be a while before we see him back IMO.

    It's on JBB and DM!

    When DMo back in Dec. he was in good shape, and JB should increase his minutes until DMo back to starting 5.

    Instead of that JBB look only short picture(win now) so team was in game with Sixers, Brooklin, Denver and so on.

    Since DMo get reduced minuted, he trained like maniac which lead to back musle pain and setback.

    If JBB were kept DMo rehab on count, now we last year team again. Thats a fact. Good things happend last season, and even this with him on the floor: quick decisions and passes, ball movement, 3mo's.. he's score 19 in his 5th game his season! And by now with DMo we would be in 5th place.

    It's on JBB and DM

    I'm still trying to figure out why DMo hasn't played yet when he had the same surgery as Dwight and Dwight was playing day one? Seems like there was a poster with no agenda whatsoever that was constantly bludgeoning us all with this idea. What the hell happened?

    Lol Dmo's reaction to the "Defense" down in the D-league is hilarious. Constantly calling people out on the floor. :grin:

    I am under impression D-Mo have no interest to play 6 min, he already did that under one coach ,he just enjoy the game of basketball,thats why he is in D-league, so fame and money comes second.If it not going to work out for him this year ,will work in two( thats how confident a man is).But in his case he will be out of HT in heart beat.So my suggestion trade him now because he will leave in summer. Guy got Olympics coming up and in no way he will miss that.So he is getting ready more for a summer, than for this broken season.;)
