    I assume they know more about his physical condition than I do, so. Wasn't expecting this.

    A pick for a player we clearly WEREN'T going to resign is good value. People just mad TJones lasted longer lawl.

    The pick is probably being flipped as we speak...

    Called this.

    Donatas Motiejunas is going to be a free agent and the Rockets are not going to sign him for what he wants. He has back issues, has missed a lot of time and quite frankly is not shown himself to be good enough to start.

    The first round draft pick allows the Rockets to make future moves.

    This move set this team back big time...7ft post scorers that can't consistently hit 3pts don't grow on trees. I'm done with Morey!:mad:

    The DMOF mutiny makes it worth it.

    DET is in 9th place right now.

    This trade does not improve DET this year. And the Tobias Harris trade might be offset by CHA getting Courtney Lee.

    GO CHARLOTTE!!!

    I think this trade may end up great for us during summer when we go 100% for Durant. It is clear that DMo is healthy and will get his money after season, and we have no room to sign him if we go for KD.

    Now we can get 1st rounder this year and KD, Howard, Harden, Ariza, Lawson already there. We just need to hit our ceiling.

    Well, get ready for the next draft where we take another 6'8" power forward who can't hit free throws, no outside shot but works his ass off...

    don't like the trade as of today

    But we need to wait and see:

    1) how the rest of the deadline plays out
    2) how D-Mo looks the rest of this season injury-wise
    3) how much D-Mo commands in the offseason
    4) if we manage to bring D-Mo back as a FA

    The one player who gave a damn on the court is going to Detroit.
