    I really don't know why some of you think Dmo is untouchable.

    Because he is a UNIQUE efficient player - there are very few quality post players in the league that play solid D and shoot 40% from 3pt range.

    He is untouchable unless we are getting back a star in his prime.

    You KEEP your better players, and build with them, you don't jettison them.

    DMo is a lot better than he is getting credit for here by some, all he needs is to be on the floor, and have the offense focused more on him.

    Well, he's the best PF on the roster and they are actively showcasing the other PF on the roster to flip in less than 2 weeks. Even if you aren't a good judge of NBA talent, it should be obvious that they have no intention of moving DMo.

    A star in return LOL Come on DD Dmo isn't a star either. And it's a good chance Morey doesn't share your value of him.

    No, I mean his 6 minutes a game that he's been getting since they've been trying to showcase Jones for a trade in just under 2 weeks. Try to keep up.

    Man quit it with these BS comments. My fantasy is the Rockets winning another championship. And right now it doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon. So you can best believe everyone right now is trade bait.

    Then Morey may not be as smart as people think.

    They should consider moving him, specifically if it is a sell high opportunity.

    Morey isn't holding DMo's back. DMo is holding DMo's back.

    Ah. So it's Jones, not so much DMo's back then?

    It's possible that his back is sore, it's also possible that him working out instead of playing the 6 minutes a game he's getting while they are showcasing Jones for a trade is more beneficial long term.

    lol I guess they've been showcasing Jones since he's been here. Man you're off the chains. And if they do trade Dmo I wonder will you still be a Rockets fan.

    I will be, but if we trade DMo and don't get a true STAR back, I will no longer be a Morey fan....and realize that he is not a good judge of talent.

    Could be.

    I still think it's more likely his back, as Morey wouldn't hesitate including DMo in a deal he deemed worthy enough. DMo's health will continue to be a question mark until he's playing 20+ minutes every game. Let's just get this big fella healthy or "healthy" to start making solid contributions.

    Bro you can't expect a Star back when Dmo isn't a star himself. And if his back is still bothering him you most definitely can't expect a stud back.

    I think DMo's unique skill set and being a true "GO TO" low post option makes him unique, and more than just an average player.

    If you get a STAR back, then ok, if not, you keep DMo and let him continue to develop.

    I also think the "Back" thing is a ruse to feature TJ and to scare teams off from asking about DMO as if he is damaged goods.

    Crazy that y'all are going so hard over two PFs who are giving us absolutely nothing at the moment. Sounding insane on BOTH sides.

    Son, I was a Rockets fan before DMo was born. I'll think that it was a stupid idea if he gets traded, but that'll be that.
