    Why not give them a chance, and fill out the 11th and 12th spot. Vets mins?

    Both are vets, have played in playoff situations, and could come in , amare knows Mike system, so a few boards behind tyson wouldnt hurt and can play 4. Ellis is a lethal 3pt shooter, and even with the spacing that harden gives you, i dont see why it wouldnt work in late games in the 3rd quarter.

    why not sign malakas too while we are at it?

    I can waive a towel better than freaking Amare.
    I can even accept less than the vet minimum.

    The problem with acquiring these 2 is if they happen to score consecutive baskets, they will think it's 2010 all over again.

    Remember when the Golden State topic was if they should keep Curry or Monta?

    I thought Monta had more of a mid range game?

    But no. Even if guys can still shoot, the game has sped up significantly, and they have not.

    Googled him and was surprised Ellis is only 33. No spring chicken but less than I guessed his age to be.

    I don't love this time in the off season where every bum gets a thread with people insisting that we should sign them.

    We need to sticky a "Bad free agents Clutchfans want the Rockets to sign" thread

    Monta and Amare think they have it all, but actually have nothing. They suffer from the same problem Carmelo does and they're even more washed up so hell no.
