    Terrence Jones - Former Rockets Player
    Nick Young - LA baller grew up with JH/RW plays with them at Drew League
    Luc Mbah A Moute - Former Rockets Player/UCLA Teammate of Westbrook
    Corey Brewer - Former Rockets Player/Former OKC player
    Raymond Felton -Former OKC Player
    Thabo Sefolosha - Former OKC Player

    Pretty much everyone on this list has former ties to the Rockets or OKC with the exception of Young who is close with both Harden and Westbrook

    If Luc becomes a Rocket he is banned from dunking. Shoulder surgically repaired or not - no dunking.

    These ten will make the roster:
    Russell Westbrook
    Austin Rivers
    Eric Gordon
    Gerald Green
    James Harden
    Danuel House
    P.J. Tucker
    Clint Capela
    Tyson Chandler
    Nene

    These guys hoping to make the roster (and I guess two 2-way spots - have those been filled?)
    Anthony Bennett
    Gary Clark
    Chris Clemons
    Michael Frazier
    Isaiah Hartenstein
    William McDowell-White
    Ben McLemore
    Shamorie Ponds

    Washed veterans hoping for one last chance:
    Terrence Jones
    Corey Brewer
    Luc Mbah a Moute
    Raymond Felton
    Nick Young
    Thabo Sefolosha

    Thabo played very limited minutes last year, but also played very effectively.

    Definitely. Though remember Herrera? He had back-to-back play-offs with shoulder injuries...they really are both our big men x factors off the bench. I truly believe if Luc is ready, we’ll win the trophy!

    Morey throwing A LOT of **** against the wall and hoping something sticks.

    It isn't really a bad way to do it with MDA. He will be able to tell who can and cannot play.

    I would not be shocked to see Thabo, Moute and Felton survive.

    McLemore is too stupid for MDA, he does not like stupid players and he also does not like to play young players.

    A small forward rotation House, Luc and Sefolosha would give me hope. Don't know where Young fits though. Young = Green

    I wonder if these moves related to Shump turning down Morey's offer to be another human trade asset.

    11. Healthy Luc
    12. Thabo
    13. Clark
    14.Mclemore
    15.Clemons

    I Hart may be left out. I don’t know if they want to carry 4 centers. I like Felton for veteran depth and locker room presence. If Clemons isn’t ready I would be good with Felton. If Young or Brewer made the team I wouldn’t be mad. I’m just happy that we have a few more options coming into camp.

    Can’t wait to see if Luc still has it. Training camp can’t get here fast enough.

    I’ve read that Thabo is a 4 many places. Almost positive when I first saw him as a rookie he was a 2. Things done changed

    Maybe to make Harden not seem so fat?

    Big men stop learning how to play on the block........just look at our very own Capela who has yet to hit a baby hook consistently. Let's not even talk about more advanced moves like drop-steps and up and unders.
