    those people(dallas fans) were outraged when tractor traylor for dirk happened. the rest is history. You just never know. Dmo could be nikoloz tskitisvili for all we know but he could also turn out to be a borderline all star that gives you 19 points and 8 boards. That's the fun. I'm glad Maury thinks the moon of the assets.

    Apparently every one of our players' "ultimate potential" is one of the top 10 players at their respective positions of all-time.

    Great defender, can still score, but not a great shooter. Of course, it's his ultimate ceiling, but if we're going to compare best-case scenarios, I don't disagree.

    Can we just get this guy over here and play him so we know what we have? Is he stuck in a contract in Poland?

    Sorry, too lazy to read the mammoth Moteijunas thread.

    LOL, I'm guessing it's going to be somewhere in between.

    May take a couple of years before you start seeing that. The kid is a big man at 21 years of age, so, there's still some development. Whether that development happens or not is on him and the coaching staff.

    Absolutely. I have no problem with that. I'd just rather see him develop in a Rockets uniform instead of in Europe or the D-league.

    I'm torn. a part of me wants Scola to be traded to a contender the other part wants scola around to influence the young kids, kind of like Parsons following luifa all over town.

    sorry to rain on y'all's parade, but Donatas Motiejunas is closer to being the next Josh McRoberts or Troy Murphy than he is to being the next Dirk, KG, or even Anthony Davis.

    in all likelihood, you're right. i just want to know. i'm looking forward to seeing him play here because it brings possibility.
