    You just described every coach with a non-rebuilding team in the NBA.

    He can play, and the Rockets really should be tough in their stance of trading him, they control him as an asset for a couple more years at a low cost.

    You don't find 7 foot guys, that are quick, left handed and developing very often.

    IMO - you hold onto him, but if he has jumped the shark because of frustration, I wish him luck elsewhere.

    And McHale still sucks - but at least DMo got his Rolex.

    Would be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for him.

    Spurs starters tend to play around thirty minutes. How do you expect Harden to be fresh for the playoffs if he's doing forty minutes a night, or Parsons?

    To quote Carl Herrera, Do. Or Donatas. There is no try.

    Well... they are very few teams were he'd get playing time on, so... not a lot of options I'm guessing.

    The Sixers might make some sense... maybe Lakers, Bucks or Hawks, if they feel he's worth developing.

    Btw, love the idea that D-Mo is this hidden talent McHale doesn't know how to use. Good one. :)

    I don't understand why coach dislike him so much? He has weaknesses, but he is very good at something, which we all saw!

    usually I don't think to question FO trades, but if I were in charge I definitely keep D-Mo for at least another season.

    If homeboy can put on another 20-25lbs and work on his defense, he'd be a stud. He has game, but you can see with the little playing time he gets that he hasn't been shooting with much confidence as of late.

    He could frequently help a team lose, and infrequently help a team win.

    Better players in front of him at this moment. We're not trying to develop anyone at this time. Sucks, but its apart of the business.

    ehhh, that's more like how I'd describe JR Smith, or J-smoov.

    Must be a Smith thing. Hopefully Greg will break the trend.

    DMo for Greek Freak. Seems totally fair to me.

    last time we had a Greek on the team, it didn't go too well.
