    But way more tradeable than a bad back that is a RFA after the trade deadline has passed...

    Well....Rockets saved DMO from the dumpster fire, that is the Houston Rockets.


    Trade away your ONLY post up threat, and some how TJ is still on the team........

    Whelp....moray


    Time will tell what results from the pick.......hope his back heals and wish him good luck in Detroit.

    100 minutes to trade deadline. Lawson Brewer, Jones Dwight still on the roster.

    Dmo not in the roster.

    Saw this one a mile away. This is the problem with all the people who put Dmo on a pedastool and proclaimed him some sort of difference maker.

    Reality is, as of today, we are .500 team and you don't lock a .500 team into cap hell.

    Don't know who in their right mind would be excited about paying 70 million dollars to a mediocre power forward with major back issues.

    The Rockets are clearly going to use the playbook from 2012-2013.

    It amazes me that people act as if Dmo and Thornton were the key to our title aspirations. This team is totally flawed, so keeping or trading them would've had little impact on becoming title contending team. There are only 3 teams contending for the title this year... GSW, SA, and Clev. Everyone else is just trying to make noise.

    I hope... 1 hour 20 minutes to find out

    I wanted Dmo to play here for 10 years not just win this year

    Silver lining: We won't have to see Thornton's hair every game.

    Pelton on ESPN Insider says we 'aced' the trade, but Detroit apparently got hosed. Anyone have the run-down of what the guy says?
