    He could be released soon and the article says he wants to come back to the NBA. He looked decent in his last season in NJ. Do we want him back? I guess that depends on the price? What do you guys think his value is?

    Despite what Double-D would say:
    he's garbage
    there's no room in the rotation for him at the 3/4

    He needs to be on a crummy all offense/no defense team to look good. Toronto could probably use him a little.

    We've got McGrady, Artest, Battier, Wafer, and Barry as wing players. What value does Nachbar bring when there are 4-5 better options already available?

    if he does come back, i'd like him as a Rocket again, gives me a chance to bust out my Boki jersey out from the depths of my closet.

    The only think Boki has going for him is that he is friends with Yao.

    That my frinds is it.

    Was he an RFA or is he a 'free' agent?

    We don't need Boki, but I'll bet Karla Malone pissed his pants when he heard the news.

    I'll never forget when he stood up to Malone. He'll always be a Rocket to me.

    Don't have to shout. He did get better in NJ. Just not good enough to get any play time over the guys we already have now. I'd take him over Head though.

    I heard this guy's name and forgot what draft pick we wasted on him. I had to check if it was a lottery pick or not. As it turns out, it was close enough. Close enough to remind you that we could have had Prince, Salmons, Boozer or even Scola instead. LOL -- Scola was nearly the last pick of the 2nd round.

    He is a decent 6-8th man, who can hit the 3ball off the bench, but he is a SF and we are loaded there, no room for him.

    If he were a PF that could hit the 3ball, then I would want him back.

    But he is no scrub, despite what some people think about him.

    He grabbed Karl Malone on a fast break and tore his jersey. I can assure you it frightened or upset Karl so much that he doesn't even remember the incident or even who "Nackbar" is. The bar is set so low these days for Rocket players.

    ^ I'm eternally grateful for that moment. :D

    ..if you're referring to the game where he punked Malone in the playoffs after Malone undercut him. Karla was so upset. Gold.

    You completely devalue that moment in Rockets history or maybe did not even see the game.

    In one moment Boki chased Malone down the floor and blocked a fast break dunk by Karla and on the other end just moments later he stole a ball and dunked over Malone on a fast break. Malone was pissed enough that he chased Boki to half court.

    close but the order is the other way around. fastbreak first, then skirmish, then boki ran down and blocked malone.
