    Too damned SHORT, we need defenders, who can guard multiple positions 6'8" or better.

    This. We have plenty of scoring. We need looseballs and clean defensive rotations.

    Where is Luol Deng?

    Considering we have the oldest roster in the league he does make our team Young-er.

    Young would be great for us off the bench. He has championship experience now. Also, he would add depth to our team.

    Shall we try to give him a bench or replace ennis as a starter. I think he is better than existing players. Morey should try especially unable to get jimmy butler

    hard to call any minimum signing a "horrible move". but i take your point that he doesn't look good.

    The guy I thought and mentioned that the Rockets should have signed was David Nwaba, he's not a shooter either, but when comparing to MCW, his 34.6% 3PT on 52 attempts looks good, as well as his 54.2 TS%, but it was more so because of his good length and athleticism and a guy who despite being 6'4 can move around from the 1-3 on defense. He's also a solid slasher and rebounding guard. I thought he had more proven useful skills depending on how you use him. The Cavs picked him up for the minimum.

    Nick Young is an obvious upgrade to MCW since he can make threes at a high clip. Morey needs to get 'er done

    If you think Melo don't play defense, wait until you insert Young into the lineup lol. Despite shooting well, he still play limited minutes for the Warriors because his defense is simply terrible. So if the Rockets are worry about their team defense...i don't see how adding Nick Young going to make them better. In fact, I think it's going to make them even worst lol.

    He will be a good piece if he still can shoot three's. If not, kick him to the curve. We need shooters, someone that can actually put the ball in the cup.

    People need to stop bumping old threads with headlines that clearly are not relevant any more.
