    It will cost us 5 PF to get him over here, luckily we have 14 of them.

    Not only is he coming but he will be playing a lot of minutes at the 5 according to the Coach. He does not see him as stretch 4 but more of a rim attacking 4/5 Player. I think D-MO will get at least 20 minutes a game at the 5 in some form or fashion.

    Not only is D-Mo playing next season, he's also playing in our summer league squad in a couple of weeks.... along with Marcus Morris, Royce White, Terrence Jones and Jeremy Lamb.

    Too many young guys, not enough playing time. Some guys are going to have be stashed or traded.

    For D-Mo to be a center he needs to add another 15 pounds and not lose his quickness.

    I always thought he was heading for the 5, but it seems like all of the European's who had watched D-MO for years disagreed with me. I guess we may see.

    Kevin McHale said he would play the 4 & 5 and that he would make his living in the post and not trying to be a stretch 4.

    I can't wait to get D-Mo over here! I have been following him for years and I think he will be a monster! If he turns out to half the player I think he will be, he will beast!

    I'm hoping we can pair him up with a shot blocker like hibbert or McGee! That way he can focus on offense. He will be able to use his length to alter pf's shots! His height alone should net him rebounds!

    I must have missed that. I am not a huge fan of McHale's as a coach, but I am glad he recognizes DMo is much more efficient in the post.

    That is going to be a formidable team; should be very interesting to watch. Size, speed, shooting.

    This is why Asik is so important to Morey's plans. Asik, DMo, and our plethora of combo forwards gives you tons of versatility.

    Yeah, he will play with Rockets next season. He could become an all-star player. I am excited to see how he can help the Rockets.
