    For real? I haven't seen enough to know, but his stats don't look that great. I'm guessing you don't have one of the higher opinions of DMo on this board.

    He is on a very reasonable contract (since they gave too much to his bro...) and the cap bumping up... if he could get his head on straight and play to potential he'd be a bargain....

    trade u our bum beater for your rec center assaulter... lol....

    Markief is making about half of TJ is supposedly gonna be looking for or whatever, next year...

    He's a great mid range shooter, an okay 3pt shooter at 33% on 550 3pt attempts in his career so far. Okay rebounder but not good. Averaged over 2 assist and a steal this last season. Decent FT shooter at 76% career average. Also has been very healthy, only has missed 4 games in his whole 4 season career (3 games of which where in his rookie year). He has

    For someone who put up 15 points, 6 boards, 2 assist, 1 steal on a competitive western conf team, he's a steal for 8 mill a year.

    I don't see us keeping both Dmo and Jones next offseason, their gonna coast too much. Might as well start looking for a replacement for one or both of them who's locked on a solid, cheaper deal.

    Down side is that he's well known for being a hot head on and off court, he's not a top 15 PF (although still starter quality), mediocre rebounding and defense. I think if the price is cheap enough (It should be) that he would be a great pickup.

    Thing is, we likely wouldn't be able to trade for him until Dec 15th, when KJ becomes available.

    can't argue with his point that PHO front office has no (fracking) clue what they're doing. more bewildering trades in one season than i can keep track of

    And they're both still under trial for helping three others beat the crap out of a guy. So there's that.

    I would like to see options for a GM to void a contract (completely off the books and nothing owed to the player) + the player not being able to sign with any other team for a year. That should learn these kids not to be spoiled little brats.

    Saying he will show up and be professional has nothing to do with the awesomeness of him calling himself the premier player of the team.

    Kind of like when his brother said he was so happy to be traded to Phoenix because the Rockets misused him and now his game could grow...and then his numbers across the board went down and it wasn't until his next season that he matched his Rockets production.

    Both of these guys think they are way better than they are.

    Lawson and Smith had ties with Rockets' players and their baggage was not being r****ded. Not possible. Won't be coming here 105% sure.

    I like his game. He'd definitely bring more versatility to the 4 position if he were to come here. But then Marcus would probably come along at some point too....

    I'm failing to see just what benefit adding him would give us. He's not the strongest rebounder, he can shoot a little and he has a **** attitude. I'm good, I'll stick with T. Jones

    Stay away from the Morris twins, Mr. Alexander. We don't need them on the Houston Rockets.
