    I'm a guy who knows we won't win **** this season, so trading for a first round draft pick is ALWAYS good when you're trading away unreliable mess. Joel Anthony isn't what we traded for you miserable fool.

    That tells you how talented DMO is. And how much this trade is selling LOW.

    If any of Morey's butt-buddies are reading this, tell him to go f*** himself.

    So you peg DMo at 20M and expect us to keep him? Also check out how little Houstons budget is next year, people were talking about how Dwight has to take a paycut if we want to sign a max FA. This means that we dont have money to retain DMo even if he signs for a reasonable deal like 8M. Other teams have that budget you kust need 1 team to do it.

    selling low implies you can wait and sell for more later. that is not possible with dmo and marcus who will be unaffiliated in a few months

    I'm a Pistons fan rest of season. I was wanting Tobias Harris on the Rockets.
    The thornton being horrible on D is legit a myth, hes done his job and been fun to watch. Dmo is going to kill it and get Morey fired.

    It is more likely to be a kick to you when we quote in a few years and you will have yet another embarrassing addendum to your extreme lack of self-awareness resulting in your self-parodying portrayal as a "KNOWLEDGABLE" (sic) fan.

    Poor DMO - off to join the Spanoulis/Wafer/etc graveyard of the DD Ring of Honor. :(

    It's so hard, to say goodbye, to yesterday, and all those "Inactive - back" stat sheet stuffers....
