    Do we actually think he's going to start playing?

    I'm curious about that.

    I mean I know bobbythegreat and DD do but they don't dount.

    What are the odds he's suited up getting minutes by the Portland game on Thursday?

    10%?
    50%?
    100%?


    Bummed about dmo now that I know detroit didn't think his back wouod hold up.

    I think somewhere between 20% and 40%.

    He was told by a pannel of experts that he shouldn't be cleared to play.
    If I see him tonight against Gobert/Favors or in Portland I will be furious tbh.

    He should do more tests here and more rehab.

    I really feel very bad for Dmo. It's the worst that could happen to him all this situation.

    Besides that he's coming back to play for a team that has traded him just days ago, I don't think it's bad situation for him before entering market this season. Less competition for starting spot.

    He was NOT told by a panel of experts, he should not be cleared to play.

    Detroit did not want to take the risk of future injury, the Rockets doctors cleared him to play.

    I figured that the Rockets thought that his back issues must be more serious than they led us to believe, which is why I felt that the trade for a 1st was a good move. Clearly they are not willing to re-sign Dmo for what some team is likely going to offer in the offseason.

    ...But care to elaborate/share where you got this info from? That's the first I'm hearing of this.

    id just keep him with the vipers all season and monitor his minutes, this season is lost so why risk him and risk getting his price tag up

    "A 27 year old role player with verified chronic back issues that will be a problem for his entire career is playing in the D-League! Quick, give him the max!"

    according to woj " Doctors and a panel of experts refused to clear him" and DMO said he will go and take more tests.
    If according to you DD that means taht DMO is cleared to play then you are really reaching the levels of obsessions. If you really cared about him, you would wait for him to be fully healthy and safe again. No matter how long it took.

    Morey just said he is cleared to play by the Rockets doctors, and the Detroit doctors verified it, but SVG was worried that it COULD become a long term thing and they were going to sign him and match in RFA - so they really wanted him long term.

    Morey also said he and Thornton will be playing - very soon...if not tonight.

    According to DM both Rockets and Pistons doctors think he can play now. The difference is differing future prognosis between the two.
