    That wasn't the exact quote. Here it is:

    Lol what you said isn't remotely similar to the actual quote.

    ok

    I disagree. It is almost the exact same thing.

    You said Morey has no interest at all. Cyberx says there is concern over fit.

    Those aren't exactly the same thing.

    No harm done but that's how misinformation spreads.

    lol

    He also didn't post the other quotes that Cyberx had said about Rondo. So maybe there is more.

    You'd rather see two unskilled, shorter, and less athletic versions of Dwight rather than someone that can bring a different/opposing skill set(long-range shooting) and more height(7'1)?

    Kevin....is that you?

    Stop hyping up Motiejunas... you want him to have a 3 point shot the truth is he doesn't and it's not consistent... you want him to be strong but he's weak you want him to be defensive and he's not. Motiejunas doesn't provide this team nothing positive on a consistent basis. He's supposedly 7 feet but there is no single skill he possesses that makes up for all the weak areas in his game. That's why I'd rather have a strong defensive/athletic hustle type player at the 4... he doesn't have to have a popular name. Playing at the 4 next to Dwight makes those players better than what they would be by themselves. Motiejunas is trash regardless I've seen that last year.

    I don't get the hatred for Dmo.....notice how everyone sayss he's inconsistent, not that he sucks. What can fix inconsistency? A consistent role that brings significant playing time, something he's never really had. He has all the tools, but needs a rhythm. He's the kind of player that can get traded to a team that gives him a starting role and break out that first year.

    I agree with this, not sure why everyone is so quick do get rid of him. As of right now, he is likely the 6th man on this roster

    100% agree. I've seen flashes of some great things out of D'Mo. I think with a defined role and a set amount of minutes that he can depend night in and night out on playing, that he can show some consistency and become a good player for our team. Sitting out of full games and just getting garbage minutes, while also getting a slew of DNPs understandably did a lot to effect his confidence. You could tell he was frustrated throughout the year. I would not mind D'Mo starting on this team.

    DMo has all the talent in the world - there aren't many 7 footers with that quick feet and nice post moves and at least somewhat of an outside shot. His size and post moves are elite, unfortunately he doesn't score a lot with his great moves.

    With DMo it is basically a "if he figures it out he can be a really special player". But he hasn't figured it out yet. He gets pushed around a lot, his shot isn't good enough yet, he can't finish his post moves in a consistent way and he often looks lost on defense.

    The question is: how much time do you give him. I've seen him get stronger I've seen him finish better and I've seen him getting used to the speed of the game. He definetly improved while being here. I would definetly not give up on him. I think he is almost where he needs to be, but it will be tough for him to get there.

    He seemed to do much much better last season when he knew he was getting more minutes. Whenever there was an injury and he knew he was getting 20 minutes or so, he played his best games. At least that's how I recall his performance last season.

    He has also progressed each season, and gotten much stronger.

    His corner 3 is good, he just needs to work on his range.

    All in all, I feel DMO has a really good chance of at least being a solid NBA PF in the near future. He certainly has things to work on, but he's figuring it out on the court. I like his prospects, I wouldn't be surprised if other teams do too...I like Jones, he has great skills too, but I'm attracted to size, and DMO just got it goin' on, if you know what I mean...;)

    Lmao @ the three star thread rating. Even though it was only one season, Bledsoe's a potential beast.
