    Probably should add Bo McCalebb to the free agent list. He may be the best unsigned free agent not named Ray Allen.

    Marion has already signed with the Cavs. Allen is talking to the Clippers, Cavs, and Spurs. We have already signed Garcia. I think because we have now added Terry that Sessions is out of the question. Would not mind adding Okafor but with Dorsey on the team and D-Mo I doubt it happens.

    I know it isn't a sexy pick but I have been very impressed with Aron Baynes in the World Cup, showed a lot more than I thought was possible from him. Would be a good backup at the 5.

    He did, but his offensive game has been very surprising more so for Australia. Lost weight and looks much more mobile around the rim.

    If the rockets do keep the current team, plus or minus few players, what kinda of team can they change up to get with additions to complement harden and westbrook, that would be able to flourish next year with a new coach. Thats what i like to know ....

    Would JJ Reddick and Marc Gasol sign here for cheap?

    Since the rockets are not making trade moves. As it looks what do you see the rockets realistically bringing in?

    Nolean Noel is going to push the needle ? AD is going to bruise him.

    There going to have to convivence somebody good to sign here for 1 year cheap just for a run. Whos it going to be?

    No , he's just getting started ..... with a franchise who won't force him to waste assets to duck the tax.

    Actions speak louder than words.

    Morey before Tilman and after are totally different.

    Before Tilman Morey was continually bettering his pile of assets , after Tilman he was throwing them away or in the case of the MLE not using them at all.

    Just look at the pile of assets it took to dump Ryno's contract .... and then imagine an owner who would have had the patience to sit on that a year and watch it become a positive asset as an expiring deal. Ryno / Melton 2nd - Knight and what's his name - first round pick and Chumpert - then not creating an expiring contract for him with a 3 year deal with only the first guaranteed.

    Then there's Ariza .... not resigning him was maybe the biggest mistake of them all , having absolutely NO WAY to replace him aside from Veteran Minimum deals , not to mention what he turned into in the trade with Washington.

    Morey wouldn't have done those things before Tilman ....

    Sounds like a guy who just got promoted and doesn't want to piss of his new boss.

    Got to think cheaper:

    6'4 Tyler Johnson 36% 3P, 40" max vert, switchable 1-3

    6'6 Justin Anderson 7'0 wingspan, 44" max vert, 35% 3P, switchable

    6'7 Ryan Broekhoff 6'10 wingspan, 40% 3P, switchable

    6'9 Jonah Bolden 7'3 wingspan, guard skills switchable
