    I almost forgot we had him. Everything is so focused on the upcoming big trade in which we're finally going to get a superstar.

    Hopefully Donuts will be our Gortat type. A big player in the playoffs next season.

    Will he be available to play for us next season?? He signed a two-year deal according to the thread title, does that mean he'll have to honor it or can the Rockets buy out his contract? Or do they even want to?

    Their team is horrible but the horrible guards are forcing DMO to create on his own, allowing him to develop his shot creation skills, kinda' like how Dirk became so much better when Nash left.

    In case you didn't know, he has said in numerous interviews that Scola is his favorite player.

    Morey was just on 790 and stated that Montiejunas will "definitely" be with the Rockets next season.

    I suspect Scola will get traded in the off-season.

    Trade Scola & Bud or Patterson & Bud to free up minutes for donatas and Marcus.

    clutchfans In interview w/ @MJ4Sports and @awexler, Daryl Morey confirmed that Donatas Motiejunas will join the Rockets next season.

    Sounds like we'll see what he can do in the NBA.

    Logjam at the 4.

    Somebody is on their way out.

    Guessing he'll switch to the 5 after Camby retires?

    I wonder if they will that with him. I mean the guy isn't some college kid that isn't quite ready for the NBA. His coming (according to some here in this thread) from one of the best leagues outside of the NBA. So sending him to a lesser league like the D-league would be pointless. The same thing would apply to Sergio Llull if he comes over...

    With that said I think the Rockets are probably going to move either Scola or PPat this summer to make room for D-Mo in the rotation.

    He's shown enough and can immediately start imo. Patterson hasn't shown enough so far to start and Scola is probably on his way out.

    I like the versatility we could have at the 4/5 spot but no way he plays center. I hope with the Camby signing we see who performs best and at least keep him or Dalembert.

    Sending him to the D-League makes no sense.

    Budinger and Scola will be on their way out to make room for Monty and Morris.

    Or I'm just talking out my butt again. Derp.

    Exactly.

    D-Mo proved himself in Euroleague.

    Teams only send players down in D-league if they haven't proven themselves worthy of minutes.

    Luifa's offensive game is not going to fall in the next two seasons,so having him here to mentor dmo like he has been doing with parsons is a win win. Martin will get traded before Luifa.
