    I agree with you. DMo has a terrific post game and terrific post defense. Having said that I don't think you ever quit answering the phone when someone calls inquiring about a trade for one of your players. IMO trading DMo would have to bring back a significant player but I don't know what that player would be. I am perfectly content to stick with DMo because I love what he is giving us.

    Could DMo turn into a Marc Gasol type player? He is better in the post on offense than Marc but Marc has a superior mid range shot. DMo technically has rated higher than Marc Gasol on defense this season but I don't think anyone is quite ready to put him on Marc's level defensively yet.

    Still, what could you get for DMo and the Pel's #1 pick? Aren't you curious? What if somehow the Cav's decided KLove was not a match in Cleveland and they needed more of a defensive minded Power Forward that could also score efficiently in the post? Are you telling me you wouldn't do that trade in a second? I'm not saying that deal is on the table but aren't you curious just a little what deal could be on the table?

    No one is hating on you. Do not be so sensitive. ;) Individuals like me will question everything that is not set in stone. We are who we are.

    I wouldn't wish that on any player, tho there are a few I'd shed fewer tears over...

    Is he toast? Is he Granger? Is he just needing more time?

    Kroenke is interested in cutting payroll, yes?

    Pau is mensa on the court, and with skills. He is a unique talent even as his body is wearing down.

    Call me a homer if you want to, but right now with the way DMo is playing I wouldn't trade him for Lamarcus Aldridge straight up.

    Absolutely correct. Morey is Morey. He will shop everyone not named Howard or Harden. But I do believe that the price for D-Mo right now is through the roof. Fans are just now realizing D-Mo's potential. McHale and Morey probably saw it from day one. To my eye D-Mo is looking like a top 5 defensive center who can put up 18/8 in the starting role. There are maybe 5 of those players in the NBA. Plus D-Mo has the defensive chops to be a top 5 defensive PF in the NBA. A rare combination. I have always been hopeful.

    TJones get's a lot of his points assisted. DMo creates a lot of his own points. Also, Corey Brewer has scored 50 on us. What does that say..

    It's nothing like that. Shawn Kemp was a lock for the Hall of Fame, before he got fat.

    D-Mo is an improving role player, who is proving to be valuable to us. We can't rely entirely on Howard. Having a good PF/C on an inexpensive contract doesn't hurt.

    I don't expect much more from him, but I hope he will be able to remain a consistent player for us.

    An argument for selling him now, before he faces greater challenges can be made. It is not likely to yield us a star in return.

    dmo framed his game after luis scola. that's not a bad model for him to follow.

    D-mo is tradable, but who takes his place if we don't get a pf back? One that can match his play at the same or better price. I am not counting injured players until they come back.

    yeah we can but like I said cybrex is all we got, unless you ready to hear king drew (soon tweets), batman (out eating with morey I cant tell you nothing) or codmans (riddles) that have never amounted to anything.

    People like you and I have a fundamental disagreement. You believe NBA front offices leak like a sieve. I believe they leak only what they want. Can you imagine what color Morey's face would turn if there was an unintentional leak out of his organization? Would it be a slight blush, a dark red of indignation or the black of unbridled rage just before he tracked down the culprit and made sure that they would never ever work in the NBA again? I vote for the unbridled rage.

    At some point Motie transformed from Alaa Abdelnaby into a Hakeem/Duncan clone according to Clutch fans. Unreal.

    DMo is outstanding on both ends of the floor and is the best low post options the Rockets have but please, just stop trying to spread misinformation about TJones to try and strengthen your point. TJones is outstanding creating his own shot. Do you really need video's of his deadly multi-crossover break your ankle moves on his way to a slam dunk that very few power forwards even dream of pulling off? Do you really need video evidence of TJ leading the break with behind the back dribbling and passes leading to easy buckets?

    I think DMo is the superior defender, better post player and probably a better player period but you don't need to try and tare down TJones what is basically lies to prove your point.
