    I'm kind of starting to hope D-Mo gets his ass benched for the whole year.

    I remember photos of JL,JH,DH,CP and Garcia eating together, they probably didn't want him with them.

    Disappointing to say the least to hear this coming from D-Mo. It's a shame he can't play better to get himself some value. Maybe then he would be traded to the Lakers so he can play with "the best teammate ever"

    Actually yes (just listened entry again), about Harden&Howard. He actually said they are just eating in different places&different food. They are more for fastfood he told, and I guess most of the team are having diet that not allows it.

    It's the media...be it social or mainstream drumming up mess and gossip. I'm sure if you listen to the interview it gives a different perspective than then sound bites strategically pulled out. Please don't take the bait....with that being said; who cares? This isn't news; it's meant to be gossip and mess.

    When you go in the woods and eat with the wolves sometimes they don't talk to you.

    We've seen PLENTY of pics of the guys eating and hanging out together during the season -- more than I see of guys on other teams, actually. This is a weird thing to say, considering.

    DMo might be goofy but he's not dumb. He wanted to be traded last season and since asking for a trade did not work, why not drop some lines about potential division within the team to the press overseas. He knows what he said will get translated (poorly) and start making news back in the US.

    The literal translation to all his interviews is this, "Whatever trades you have cooking up Daryl, put me in the deal and preferrably to a team where I can get significant minutes."

    I want to hope that's true, but what do you make of the "hi and bye" relationship part? Seems very contrary to what everybody else always says about what a collegiate-type atmosphere they have. I love DMo, but I sort of just want him to stop talking.

    This off-season is getting worse and worse..it all started with Parsons flapping his mouth during the playoffs, then Lin was tweeting, then Harden had to say something, Parsons again, then Dwight, Harden again, now D-Mo...can't these guys just SHUT THE **** UP?!?!?!

    Dear lord, a trade or the season needs to just happen. Even international media outlets are stirring up drama for the Rockets.

    Can we all hate Cleveland yet or do we have to wait 16 days?
