    Jones is underrated on here, he's a promising young player who has contributed and started on a top 5 team in the nba.

    Not even close. TJones is a 22 year old with big upside. DMo still has a chance to amount to something, but is starting to look like a David Andersen clone. I don't think many teams are calling Morey about DMo, but he probably wouldn't be hard to move.

    Random question is random.

    Personally, I think DMo's closer to Jones than most people. He's just less great of a fit next to Howard. But probably make a better match with Bosh/Melo/Love though.

    I would be a bit sad to see him sacrificed to Melo or Bosh's big contract. The guy does play hard and has heart.

    Definitely plays hard. If he could hit the 3 with so more consistency, he would be nice next to Howard.

    You won't know what anyone thinks of either of them till someone includes them in a trade, then you judge by what they yield. I'm the only one on here that would love to keep them both though.

    jones made a name for himself last year.

    almost none of us know how to spell dmo's full name without looking it up.

    i'd say most people around the league have no real idea who he is.

    demo actually knows what to do on a pick and roll assignment,
    and when used in the low post white hakeem can be deadly. Terrific passer from the post too.

    But no, let's have him taking threes and judge from there.

    I like jones but once you pass it to him, the ball goes into the bermuda triangle not to be seen again. aliens!

    I want Dmo as the backup C. He's gaining weight and strength rapidly. And when he's in, no other C can run with him. He's got those crazy quick moves in the low post offense too.
