    Javale was never as bad as Thabeet. His superior physical strength and speed/ quickness also gave him an edge.

    Please. They both are dopey and uncoordinated but with the right psychology and coaching the Worriers extracted what they needed.

    We could do the same.

    I hope you're right, and that I'm wrong, but I have serious doubts about this potential move.

    I don't think he's been in the D League for at least a couple of years. He's been in China and Philippines.

    If he's in shape, it won't take long for him to get in game shape. The problem is I don't think he would play much if at all anyway.

    Just seems like the player Morey wants to fill a roster spot with via 10 day contracts.

    It's too bad, the team needs better contributors.

    I hear you.

    I'm just hoping we catch a break if this move actually goes down

    It's not about his skill level or basketball IQ. It's the fact his feet are literal bricks. He cannot move.

    That can't get much better with age. Anyone saying we should give him a try is wack.

    At first I thought this was some sarcastic thread mocking the Rockets but then ..If we want size then Sign Lopez or Gortat

    I promise you don’t smoke as much as him. I’m talking a zip a day.

    I'm starting to wonder if Tillman is going broke, should have let Mutombos group buy the rockets. One thing I'll give Alexander credit for was, he wasn't cheap. ******* for taking the trophies, but not cheap.

    it's like a vicious cycle w/ morey. convince himself he's the smartest guy in the room by 'discovering' value where absolutely no one else saw it. and then a few months later having to waste cash/picks to rectify his blunder via salary dump.

    It all began with drafting Royce and giving Asik a poison pill contract.
