    Mirotic had a serious setback and will be out for a long while possibly the season. :rolleyes: And Butler will be out for another 2 weeks at least AND they got one of the toughest shedules remaining.

    Detroit with Harris and DMO will surpass Chicago.

    Definitely not liking this trade, but i highly doubt Morey and Co. are planning to use the pick from Detroit on a pick from the Draft. It's likely to collect additional assets to package for another impact player - I hope...

    We are light years away from contending for a championship anyway. No matter if Dmo and Thornton are on the team. Both are horrible defenders and we need defense.

    He can't do anything for us. Thornton is a lot better than him.

    Oh nice. Jason Terry gets a buddy to have around and do nothing.

    Malakas remember DMO has only played 14 games this entire season and you don't how much he's going to play there.

    The only way to salvage this trade is if we NEEDED the first rounder to get Love. That's it.

    Joel Anthony is averaging 0.7pts and 1.7rbs...LOL

    First round pick for Morey is another Sam Dekker.

    Dmo + Thornton == 0.7pt scrub + Sam Dekker ?????

    WTF!!!!!?!??!??!?!?!

    Most disappointed moment!!!!

    So are we going to keep Jones for good?

    Damn! DMo is one of the few guys on our roster who always work hard and play hard. The only reason he should be dealt for non-star is that Morey lost faith in his long term health.

    How many yrs. did it take for him to finally show something?

    How many other great 1st rd. players has he drafted?

    I'll wait...

    No more Donuts. I'm very disappointed. Daryl has just under 2 hours to improve my mood.
