    Oh good, I'll pass this along to Morey. No need to keep him now that an internet forum poster is done with him.

    He is not improving from one year to another (actually he looked better last year after the injury than this year). He is what he is.

    1. Outrebounded/outhustled by his matchup every single game
    2. Can't finish around the rim
    3. Can't shoot 3s
    4. Can't shoot FTs

    TRADE HIM. The question is who would want him?

    Big DMo fan but availability is a critical and underrated asset in sports. DMo consistently being out is a huge red flag. I hope we can exploit his missed time to get him back at a cheaper rate.

    I don't want Beverley back for sure. Completely unreliable to stay healthy.

    Seriously? Using the race card in a league thats dominated by black athletes, as soon one non black athlete is liked better, it's racist? DMo brings more to the team than Tjones. His skin color has nothing to do with it. You're the one who's trolling and clearly have a problem DMO because he's white otherwise you would have never said a damn thing about race.

    Sure, kick a guy while he's down.

    I agree. DMo is the better player, but what good is it if he's never healthy. I honestly would trade both at the deadline for a vet PF. I don't want to have to pay both dmo and tjones and have 1 never play and the other be extremely inconsistent.

    Name 3 injuries that made DMo miss more than a week. It shouldn't be hard, since he's injured all the time.

    D-Mo is a much better player than TJ, certainly for this team... He's a better man-to-man defender, better at defensive rotations, always knows where to be on the court at all times, less indecisive behind the three point line, a superior hook shot from either hand, doesn't lumber around in the low-post in slow-motion, and doesn't brick nearly as many layups...

    That said, whoever thinks D-MO is going to swoop in and save the day is delusional...

    Negatron. They're almost the same darn player. Dmo is very weak on the boards, he gets lost on defense, had only a month of good shooting from the 3 point line, gets pushed around easily, thus the reason why he got injured and goes up weak as hell. Both player's average damn near the same stat line when they started. Jones was slightly higher.

    Agreed he's not the savior. Harden and Howard playing like Superstars will save this team.

    I think Jones would benefit most from having a full time Dwight. but since that's not happening, I feel the pain too. D-Mo can't get healthy quick enough. Not that he's the answer to all that ails us, but I can't wait to have that hook shot as a reliable weapon again

    But even more of an issue, what the hell is wrong with Ty Lawson? Has he even put up a double digit game for us? I completely understand that learning to play with Harden is really tough, but damn, take complete control of the offense on a few possessions here and there and let Harden do the adjusting. We know who's going to have the ball in the 4th quarter, it shouldn't be so uncomfortable the rest of the game.
