    If the Rockets indeed pull off any big trade, chances are they will have to part with at least one of those guys, along with probably Morris, Patterson, future picks, Toronto's pick, etc.

    If you could only keep one of D-Mo and RolceRoyce White, who would be your pick? And why??

    It is obviously difficult to project either player at this stage, but I would probably keep D-Mo b/c of his sheer size, along with potential. I think White will struggle to make an impact consistently if he doesn't drastically improve his stroke, as he doesn't possess clear, dominant skills at his size yet.

    Both are intriguing players, but I would go with D-Mo.

    What say you?

    D-Mo cannot be traded, he was just signed. The "big deal" will be done before he can be traded.

    maybe future picks along with Scola , Morris and K Mart? that way we can keep all 4 picks with D Mo being that 4th pick which we cant trade anyway , at least for a month

    Donatas Motiejunas has all-star potential while Royce White projects at best to be an exciting player on a 25 win team.

    So, the choice is obvious.

    they seem promising but it's going to be difficult to trade any young guys that haven't even touch real minutes yet

    If I may add, I get the sense that T. Jones will surprise many with his impact and skill level, much like Parsons flew under the radar last year as just another duplication of skills, until he clearly separated himself throughout the season.

    I see Jones as having a clear impact defensively right off the bat.

    I'd prefer to trade Lamb or Jones rather then D-Mo or White, but that's just my preference.

    Based off of what? LOL


    I'd rather keep White, to be honest. He has the physical tools to be a star.

    If I were GM, the only people on the team that would be untouchable would be White, D-Mo, and Lamb.

    I would say D-MO. A huge front court of dmo and dwight/bynum and people wont come in the paint. plus they would combine for insane post game. just unstoppable duo all the way.

    you're a dick. don't make me choose.

    that'd be like losing my best friend chandler parsons.

    Don't make me get irrational.

    I would rather keep D-Mo. My opinion is he is likely a little bit more NBA ready given his previous professional experience. I would love to see two 7 footers out there with Bynum and D-Mo. That would be pretty sweet.

    Hmm...

    Super skilled 7 footer who has a higher chance to bust, but potential to be top 5 at his position...

    or super unique point forward who has clear resemblance to the best player in the game right now...
