    Don't worry, we'll dump him for a 2nd round pick.

    Then we'll use the 2nd round pick to dump a salary to save $$$.

    Thats what happened with our last ones.

    Lin is a scrub. This comparison is really dumb.

    So wait a second. After paying more attention...did cod said here that the offer of ppat+ ny/den first from toronto was for milsap???wow...

    Cant believe ujiri actually thought if true such a lowball offer would work. And was milsap ever made available?

    It's not dumb at all.

    Lin was not very good, and neither was DMO.

    Statistically speaking, Lin had a bigger impact.

    What? Wins are a great statistic and Lin didn't contribute meaningfully to nearly as many wins as DMo did last year. This is crazy talk.

    I'm more amazed that he wrote all that detail, and still no mention of the one trade that actually happened.

    Sounds like the intel is coming from outside of Rockets vs inside.

    He edited his post. At first he said toronto. If milsap was actually made available thats huge news. He can be the no.1 star that gets traded on draft day.

    I dont think its bad info. I think that things were changing too fast and only the close fo knew what was going on.

    Did you just spend most of your day sniffing paint or something?

    People overrate Dmo, he wasn't going to save the season by any means, but that doesn't mean you have to lie to yourself to support the Houston Moreys as you always have done. He was a good player, comparing him to Lin demonstrates the extent of your basketball acumen.

    DMO was extremely overrated around here. Overemphasis on his post game, under emphasis on the other glaring holes in his game.

    Just because some here were vastly overrating dmo doesnt mean the value back is good.

    You just proved why looking at a bunch of +/- stats alone makes you a ****ing moron. Ironically, actually conveniently, you dismiss a lot of those stats whenever they paint Harden in a negative way.

    I have to ask, why do you still post here? You block anybody that disagrees with you. You think everybody on this site is a bad fan. You don't think chemistry and heart exist since they aren't quantifiable...what are you trying to achieve by continuing to post?

    How you feel is completely irrelevant around here, unless you're speaking to your psychiatrist. The irony is , is that no matter how much you attack DD, everybody here is shaking their head and laughing at you.

    Please do.

    I am a fan of DMO and will be very happy to see him succeeding.

    If you root for DET this year, you will be rooting against the Rockets #1 Draft Pick. Figures you'd do that, just like sore LOFs did.

    Don't do that. He won't care and will punish DMo fans.

    You are full of ****. We traded a good player for cap relief, our team got significantly worse.

    Morey sucks.
