    I think MDA likes DMo from due to his ability to stretch the offensive floor and ability to pass.

    And this is one of the reasons I hate the mda hire. The other is that mda does not know anything about defense.

    Wait and see before you judge, MDA definitely wasn't my first choice but now that's he's here give him some benefit of the doubt before you go ranting. How do you even know he doesn't know anything about defense, everyone already questioned him about it so I'm pretty sure he already looked at it and he'll have a lead assistant specially hired to look at D.

    He shot 28% last season and cant hit midrange shots. Not really good at "stretching the floor" expecially for the money some lower teams are gonna throw at him. I see him getting a offer of 12-15 mill per season from someone

    D'Antoni is a genius offensively. He'll use Dmo in the post if he gets it going from there early in a game. Stubborn but no idiot when it comes to Offense.

    Can't hit? More like doesn't take mid-range shots as per Rockets philosophy.

    And it goes without saying this was a down year for him due to injuries and coaching. Like I said earlier, if he can be kept on a reasonable deal I think he deserves a mulligan since he's shown pockets of brilliance as a complimentary piece.

    Yea sure they want to keep him the same way the wanted to keep Parsons.

    Dmo will be offered a huge contract and Maury will balk.

    Yes, that is the most likely scenario- Morey has a history of not wanting to play role players.

    RR KNOWS THAT DD gets Fixated on a player and will love their dirty draws until they are out of the league and then DD will explain how the NBA never understood or gave that player a real chance.

    DMO for anything more than 12 mil a year is too big a risk to take IMO

    Dwight was a superstar, whereas D-Mo has never done ****, at least not in a sufficient sample size.

    And the season before that he shot 37% on 0.4 more attempts and played more games.

    I would gamble on him for 12-15 mil per year for a 2 yr team option deal if we don't land Horford (which is the most likely scenario).

    RR would know that DD only wanted Vspan to get some run to find out if he could replace REEFER Alston because he was so crap.

    But the cool narrative that DD was fixated - is mo better.

    You are DAMNED right he is....

    and injured and inconsistent

    The NBA is filled with talented skilled people.

    He still needs to be consistent
    He needs to show his injuries won't stop him
    He needs to SHOW !!!
