    DMO's value has really improved. I wouldn't want to move him, but I would for the right price.

    If there is a DMO for Dragic trade, I agree that Morey would want to attach Plumlee to that. And I think I would be fine with that depending on all of the other factors of the trade.

    I would want to know what Morey values more right now: DMO? or NOP 1st round pick?

    I agree that DMO's skill, size and contract makes him a value asset in the league. I don't think he is as high as Valenciunas though. Vukavic is a rebounding monster, but didn't he just get a rich deal?

    Exactly! Morey will pull in a 3rd team if need be.

    100% agree with this. The Suns are like the Rockets pre-Harden. They are collecting assets to parlay them down the road.

    I just don't see the Suns committing half of their cap space to Bledsoe, Thomas and Dragic at the PG spot. They are smart and will move Dragic for some assets.

    The man dropped 44 pts in game .
    Too soon to say if Dmo and Josh Smith can play as good as Scola and Landry.

    Sorry, but a couple of good games from DMo does not equal the totality of Scola's career with the Rockets. Scola was a very good player (borderline star) for many years. I have a feeling you only saw Scola play for the last year he was a Rocket, which was by far his worst year here.

    The stupidity of some is incredible. D-Mo has a string of 15 games roughly and some of you are ready to crown him a star and comparing him to Scola? Are you guys even listening to yourselves?

    I know exactly what scola was and wasn't. Big fan of his. Watched the 44 point game in person 5 rows behind the basket. DMo's size and skill will allow him to develop into the more effective post player. DMo can post up centers and Power forwards. Scola could not post up large centers.

    It's called forecasting and projecting. Thats what scouts do.

    Here is a spoiler... you guys are NOT scouts. You guys are armchair GM's who think you know something and trying to project or forecast or whatever fancy term you want to give it does not extrapolate D-Mo into any sort of budding star from 10-15 games in ONE SINGLE SEASON, especially after 2 seasons of absolute incompetence.

    Hahahaha. I'm sorry you didn't see the potential before or now. Don't take it out on me. DMo's "incompetence" has always been tied to Mcfail's insistence on him being a stretch 4. If you don't understand that there's nothing I can do for you. It's not a coincidence that when he started getting regular touches in the post he started to look like the player many of us knew he would become. The forum is littered with threads over the last year begging Mcfail to give DMo touches in the post.

    D-Mo has potential. Hell, most players in the NBA have potential. All D-Mo has done and I stress this, is shown that he has a post game when going 1v1 in a VERY SHORT stretch. Also, I see the same people who constantly ride D-Mo's dick propping him up over and over. A small vocal minority does not make a majority. Linsanity should have been a learning experience for you guys thinking a short stretch makes a career. Sorry if you can't see ANY of that.

    Also, since you are too stupid to figure it out, McHale and staff tried to make D-Mo into a stretch 4 because that's what his role would be when playing next to Dwight who has no capability of range at all. It is the same reason we tried to put T-Jones in as a stretch 4. Dwight is infinitely more valuable to the team than D-Mo is.
