    This is from March, when D-Mo scored a career-high 19 vs Phoenix:

    Watch the sweeping hook at the very end. When is the last time you saw a 7-footer start from the corner and finish so beautifully in the lane?

    To give up Motie for anything is out of the question.

    If you want to give up Donatas in a deal for Josh Smith, or LaMarcus Aldridge, or whoever...that's perfectly fine. I just happen to disagree.

    I didn't see a Search option to find a previous D-Mo thread. If there is already one, please merge.

    I hope Luis taught him some things this offseason, and he beefs up a bit. I still have high hopes for him. He's got post up skills, but won't be able to use them until he beefs up. Maybe Dwight will inspire him to take steroids :D

    A bit before the draft, he was up to 257.

    What if we traded Asik for a PG? Assuming DMo can handle starting at PF this year

    What is all this 'potentially' and 'down the road' talk with D-Mo? I think he's ready right now.

    Put him on the court instead of at the end of the bench. He won't ever get better that way.

    Why is DMO not on the summer league roster?

    He wasn't ready this season yet. His offense was alright, but the defense was basically non-existent. He needs to bulk-up in order to defend bigger/stronger PFs.

    As stated above, he is up to 257. He's ready!

    Depends on the returning player, but if like to keep him as well.

    Do glad though we have even new guys now to tell everyone when and how to stay a new thread.

    I think it would be great to trade D-Mo for a 2014 lotto pick...

    I like him just slightly better than Tjones because he is 7 feet tall, left handed and quick.

    I hope he stays too.

    I think TJones is left handed and quick too for his position. DMo is more of an offensive threat and better than TJones on that side of the court.

    I cannot wait for Motiejunas to train with Howard, it will help him so much to be training and going against Howard in practice. Then you add in McHale showing him more post move's and giving him more big man tips, Dmo has a great opportunity here and he's seems like just the guy to take advantage of it.
