    I did, but I didn't post here then. I was super high on him fairly soon after we drafted him. I saw that he had potential to develop into something special because even then his post game was pretty far along. Also at the time, I was tired of having teams like the Lakers push the Rockets around with Bynum, Odom, and Gasol so I wanted a bit of size at the PF spot.

    So who will have the better NBA career? Mirotic or D-Mo?

    I think DMo will, but that's a good question. Mirotic is younger, and doesn't have as much experience in the NBA so he's harder to project but right now DMo's the better 3 point shooter and he's the considerably better post player.

    Ask me again a year from now and we'll both have a better idea.

    You are right. It is impossible to determine now. Trick question? In a year we possibly will know, in two certainly.

    Unless we can sign and trade for Aldrige, I say we keep him

    DMO showed a more varied offensive skill set than LaMarcus has this past season.

    SMH, it seems I've failed to teach you English as well. I really hope you do something well in life that just doesn't show up here because it would be truly tragic if you were full potato when it came to everything.

    If he has any value on the trade market, I would rather package him for an upgrade at any position and roll with Dmo/Smith/someone else.

    I guess production in the regular season is only irrelevant for Jones in this case. In DMo's defense, he's never actually had a highlight in the playoffs though.

    In his defense, to his detriment I would say. The guy has hardly played any playoff games....the only ones he lost in the first round.

    He is still stuck in the first round.

    You would take DMo over Aldridge?

    Didn't say that.


    But...........

    I'd rather have Love or Marc than LaMarcus for sure.

    I don't know why. Leonard actually had a pretty good series against Memphis for them. And at 23, he's the same age as T-Jones so the whole argument about potential is a wash.

    They have an identical skill set, hell they even both wear Kobes. If we made this trade its literally trading black Terrence Jones for white Terrence Jones

    This would be a horrible trade for us. Myers isn't half the player Jones is. Jones has way more upside

    This wouldnt be a horrible trade for us just for the simple fact the leonard can hit the 3 ball and will space the floor for harden and is still on a good contract for one more year after this.

    i do agree that jones is more talented but i would still do this trade because we dont need tjones and he doesent add anything extra to this team
