    Dmo has above average post skills. If he was strong enough to handle most 4's already, he'd be at least ahead of Jones.

    PG or the bench .... a high efficiency player behind Harden would be really nice.

    The dude loves to spin. Maybe we should call him Derv Mo.

    You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Easy again.

    He was by himself in this video. Now he stands next to Patterson, Asik and Jones.

    It would probably be good for him to gain some weight, I'm just saying there are some advantages of being thinner and I think he would be OK right now. Wasn't Pau Gasol only like 225lbs when he first came into the league? He was already pretty effective at age 21, just saying.

    You can be wiry and still be relatively strong. If D-Mo were strong enough to play in the NBA at his position, he would be playing.

    This is welcomed news... He was too good to be down there anyways... Him and TJones should take all of 2Pat's mins until we get an elite 4 and then Jones and DMo can share mins as the backup PF and Montiejunas can gets mins as the backup C too depending on matchups.

    I think that's kind of silly to say. One coach will make an entirely different depth chart from another, and McHale/Sampson aren't exactly basketball's brightest minds, in my opinion. I believe they're being loyal to Patterson, Smith, Morris, etc due to seniority, and it's compromising what's best for the team. D-Mo would play much better against NBA competition than you, or the Rockets coaches apparently, expect.

    Is he being called up because of Royce White?

    (sorry if that was already clarified, I haven't read the entire thread)

    When I see D-Mo play, he's like a mix of AK-47/Dirt Nowitzki/Kevin Love.

    Anyone else agree?

    I've been wanting him to get minutes and play... I feel like he'll be a big addition to our Rockets and with winning.

    Also Dmo dared to disagree with Morey. Now his ass will get traded :)

    It's definitely better than NCAA. The best college team is probably at about the same level as the worse D-League team. D-League is not as good as Euroleague though.

    DMo values #honesty and will not follow #TheCompanyLime just cuz @dmorey says it. #EuroBallers.

    Euros like DMo should disclose their Euro-ness to their employers because they are entitled to accommodation.

    He is clearly pissed at being D-MOted to RGV.
