Did I miss something? I didn't see ANYTHING about race until you mentioned it. Where is the racist overtone? Were you that desperate to take a swipe at America? So confused at this post...
DD you have been making some good points. It's the old talent trumps everything mantra that I disagree with and that is proven wrong too often in many sports. Guys like tony allen, Bruce Bowen and most recently draymond green who take teams to the next level because of their overall impact in a team concept vs players like Carmelo ... Ariza is that way on this team and we need that to be contagious. I know Harden is trying to progress as a leader and he has a ways to go. However, he needs to instill trust in the team and confidence in teammates as opposed to being threatened by others individual successes and touches ... So here's a toast to the New Years and to Harden turning a corner with leadership not his on court performance per say!!
I would trade him so fast your head would spin, but I recognize that we are probably not going to get value back at this point, so might as well try to get this year out of him. DD
Good stuff in DaDa's posts ... I seriously doubt DMo is going anywhere. Let him get healthy. Dude has mad (all star level) game...the offense should flow through him down low...eventually.
Who do you have in mind? Lin and Motiejunas? One is asian, only asian (?) in NBA right now, now counting the phillipino on Lakers, who doesn't look asian. And one Lithuanian. So non black has nothing to do with players only movement. Billions of people in Asia and no one to cheer for in NBA until Lin, so you can see why they are so obsessed. And Lithuanians love basketball more than any other country in the world. That's why they come here and sound like idiots with their (our, I'm one of them) DMo only agendas. Non black has nothing to do with majority of player only fans. Though I agree that there are couple people here who probably call DMo their favorite player, and have nothing to do with Lithuania, just like here are couple people who bash DMo for years, just because he's fighting for minutes with a black player. But those are just few people.
There were no racist overtones in OP's post...smh. Anyway, our rotation seriously needs to tighten up lest we continue to see threads such as these. Somethings gotta give, and I'm sure Morey is itching to package a couple of guys in a trade
Sounds like this isn't the best site for you. He's coming off a very long injury period, he's extremely rusty, and at this point he's a shell of his former self. We're all cheering for the whole team, while you're being selfish about your player. It's a team game you're cheering for. If you don't like it, find or form a DMo fan site. It will make you happier than coming to Clutchfans.
If the Dmo is getting a max offer next season I'd trade him but would need to get one of the three C's Denver have at the least in return.
There were in later post by someone else, not OP. OP is Lithuanian DMo only fan (his name lol) and he's just being angry at Rockets organization for not playing DMo. 100% perfect read on OP. Because I am in the same spot as he is. I get super pissed at Rockets every time DMo's not playing when he should be playing. I do also want DMo to be traded at those times. Nothing racism related. Just DMo only fan wanting DMo to play more minutes, team where he does it doesn't matter.
What if we put DMo in the D-League? Wouldn't that be great since he'd also hopefully be used? Lol, I'm just messing, I honestly have gotten to the point that it really doesn't matter who's playing 1-5 as long as they figure out a way to win... And the team looks more competent than a group of players put together at the Y...
