I quoted you because you because you blamed the media for his bad rep, not because you advocated a trade. You clearly stated your position in that post. If anything. just passing along a little info from someone who has spent a good amount of time around him. As I said, just wanted to add a little perspective to the board.
At this point, there is no way I'm trading DMo for Rondo. Absolutely off limits. He's proven to be an elite post scorer, and has potential as a backup center and a stretch 4. There's just no way you do that deal. If I'm Morey, I'd offer little more than Papanikolaou, TJones, and a few 2nds. No DMo. No NOP 1st.
Your kidding right? Your actually saying that you wouldn't trade DMO for LaMarcus Aldridge right now?
I would give Blazers NO pick & DMO right now if he promised to resign. We have a window, LMA is shooting the 3 now this season.
BBholic, I like reading your posts sans your personal clashes with Dobro, another favorite posters, but c'mon, LMA to Houston and you wouldn't do it? If we had LMA, we might as well ice the champagne and order the confetti.
Once again. It's okay to disagree. It's not ok to put posts up like this that say nothing about basketball but simply insult another poster. Reported.

For those of you saying D-Mo has PROVEN himself, playing well for 15 games isn't exactly a large body of work. I'm not discounting his improvement, but to say you wouldn't trade him for the likes of Aldridge is the definition of insanity.
I agree with you.. It goes on way too much here, and it takes away from actual BBall debate/discussion. We get it, you guys don't like BBH. It's not necessary to tell us/him once every 3 pages. BBH- Do you think DMO at 24 is better than LMA was when he was 24? In terms of overall polish? I tend to think not, but then again, some folks are just late bloomers.
