D-Mo Trade Value
I didn't see a trade thread, so I'm making this one so please excuse me.
Jazz fan hear just wondering what Rocket fans value D-Mo because I think he would be an amazing fit as a 3rd big off the bench for the Jazz. What would it take to snag him this offseason?

Assuming Hayward, Gobert, Favors and Exum are off the table I don't really see anyone else on the Jazz roster that Morey would be interested in trading D-Mo for. Would you trade the #12 overall pick for him?
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

he is still under his rookie contract
any trade without draft pick or player under rookie contract is no
basically same as texasholdem comment
Utah 2015 first round pick (top 3 protected)

mchale said a lot of times that Dmo have really bright future and he really like him. No way they are going to trade him anywhere. Rockets would trade Jones, not Dmo. And they should trade him for PG.

Burke for TJones?

i dont think Utah need Dmo or Jones, because both of them would simply walk away after year. Rockets biggest dilemma is which, dmo or Jones should they keep. They both are extremely talented, young and like to play. But there is not enough space for both of them on one team.
I dont think Dmo or Jones would like to be third big from the bench, when they could easily be starters on a lot of teams. Dmo was starter most of the years on Rockets, which had reached second seed in the west recently. And if he would he healthy, rockets still would be there. Jones is also really talented and young.
I think rockets will trade one of them for PG which would help them to reach finals next year.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Burke + future 1st?
Although gotta say I'd be hesitant to trade for him- he might be too good. Somebody offers him Max and suddenly we have to choose between being able to keep Gobert or matching. Too easy to just lose out.
Of course this is also what the Rockets are looking at. If I was you guys I'd be quietly shopping Howard.

Howard can (and probably will) opt out of the 4th year of his deal next season.
With Capela emerging, backup center looks less of a problem.
I wonder how much Game 6 boosted Josh Smith's asking price.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Hey, I was wondering if a Houston fan could give me the Houston fans take on DMo. I know stats can be misleading and was wondering what you guys think his strengths and weaknesses are? Is he much of a rebounder? Has he gotten stronger since getting drafted? His shot and defense?
Thanks to those who reply

Amazing low post, back to the basket scorer. Can make shots with either hand around the basket on a variety of moves, fakes, and shots from several angles. Much improved 3 pointer shooter with an effortless looking stroke. Shot a very good percentage this year, especially after All Star break. Good positional defender, but not a shot blocker. Bad rebounder so he'll need a good paint protector and rebounder next to him in order to cover up his deficiencies and accentuate his many positives.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Motiejunas has already proven to be the better player than Jones. I don't see him going anywhere at this point.

for who?
why not keep both DMo and TJones for another year?
they are on the rookie contract
hard to get equal value in return in trade

I'm just assuming Aldridge is coming in.

Otherwise I'm more than happy to keep rolling with the pair + Josh Smith.
That said if it's Smith/Jones or Motie, I'm keeping Jones and trading Motie.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
i see TJones with higher potential than DMo
problem i have with TJones is when he's not involve in the offensive play he tend to fall asleep and not doing anything on both end of the floor
lack of focus and you keep seeing him missing easy layup
DMo has no problem being a stretch four when he is not in the post posting up (i do think DMo is a better shooter than TJones)
right now i think DMo is a better fit with Howard
IF we get LMA i'm going to wet my pants (along with Harden, Howard, Ariza, Smith, Brewer, Terry - got to keep the Band Brothers together)

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Morey never trades talent for lesser talent unless it is to clear cap space for bigger talent. In DMO's case he will stay over Jones. Unless Aldridge decides to play in Houston and Portland agrees to a sign and trade involving DMO, and more.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
McHale would have never replaced Smith for DMO because DMO contributes more to winning. TJones looks better losing.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
The only thing Jones has on Motie right now is ball handling, athleticism, and slight better rebouding. Motie is the better defender, scorer, passer, shooter, and has more height. AND he's the better fit with Dwight.
Potential goes out the window when you're talking about the starting PF on a team that's in the conference finals. Motie's low post scoring would be so valuable right now.
That's not to say I don't like Jones. I'd love to bring everyone back next year along with another PG to start over Bev.
But if one of the PFs has to go, I think Jones is the odd man out. Especially considering his style of play isn't that much different than Smith's.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Motiejunas is not a better defender than Jones. Both are average.
Motie has the potential to be a decent long range shooter but it's not their yet. Obviously his strongest aspect of his game is back to the basket in the post. He's also prone to getting beat up playing center so his best position is still PF although he'll need to build that part of his game. I think over the long run, he's a backup center in the NBA.
I think Jones is the better long term asset, if deciding between the two.

Re: D-Mo Trade Value
Motie proved all year that he was a better defender. He played very well on that end early in the season. Meanwhile Jones can't stop anyone.
