    Even at this eartly part of the preseason, I see the need to watch the few who are
    Players unlikely to make the team:Isaiah Tayloy, Chin Onaku, PJ Hairson, Tyler Ennison.
    Players on the verge... Bob Brown. Kyle Wiltjer, Pablo Frig, Gary Peyton !!
    Players already for sure:- R. Anderson, T Ariza, Pat Bev, Cory Brew, Eric Gord, James, Mont Harrell,
    KJ McDonald, Nene I invite your comment .....

    Taylor, Hairston, and Brown have no chance. Onaku is a lock to be on the roster. Look for bev and/or ariza to get moved. Capela may be traded as well. Payton and Wiltjer great chance to make squad if trade goes down.

    You really think Bev and/or Ariza will get moved? I say its a very long shot unless its a significant upgrade, which is doubtful....

    I agree with you I do not agree with this suggestion , sounds like a member with limited knowledge of the team. Y

    Only one that has impressed me so far is Wiltjer...
    Nene/Capela/Onaku
    Anderson/Motie/Wiltjer/Harrell
    Ariza/Brewer
    Bev/Gordon/KJ
    Harden/Ennis/Prig
    I think all of these guys will make the roster, everyone else is either Vipers or cut...

    Hard to part with a guy like Wiltjer. Has both length and a deadly outside shot.
    Not easy to come by. Absolutely fits the Rockets profile. Would be ridiculous to cast him away.
    Most of the other 'fringe' players are easily replaceable.

    He made a lot of greedy me first decisions. He literally provides nothing but shooting. We removed Troy Daniels from the squad, who ultimately provided more than Bobby Brown would. If you think he stands a chance, because he scored 18 points you have not been observant to what has been going on within our organization over the years.

    Dammit, that makes everything so much more difficult,

    Nene/Capela/Onaku
    Anderson/Motie/Wiltjer/Harrell
    Ariza/Brewer/Dekker
    Bev/Gordon/KJ
    Harden/Ennis/Prig
    16 men on roster

    Either Motie doesn't sign or a 2 for 1 trade or 1 for pick trade...

    Can't cut Onaku, since he is a draft pick
    Can't cut Ennis (due to wasted trade), can't cut Prig (due to guaranteed contract)

    Gun to my head I would cut Prig but I feel a trade is the most likely solution...

    On the verge of finding someone else to beat up now that Whitney Houston has passed and the mourning period has passed.

    Yup, Wiltjer is a keeper. Dude can flat out play off of Harden.

    Taylor and brown and Hairston gets cut for sure.
    From there it's getting difficult cause I really think we need D-mo.
    Onuako and Payton are D leauge and not ready to play at all this year.
    Eenis is a promising prospect which is more of a backup/trade chip so he's staying.
    Wiltijer is the unplanned one, he was supposed to get cut but really made a case for himself.
    So that leaves Harel, one of my favorite players on the team. We need someone like that and he can make an impact now.
    Question if we could put Onuako on the vipers and not count him on the roster?
    If so my roster will be:

    My 15 roster:
    Capella/Nene/Harel
    Anderson/D-mo/ Wiltijer
    Ariza/Mcdaniels/Dekker
    Gordon/Beverly/payton
    Harden/prigioni/Ennis

    I don't disagree with you, but this is kind of hilarious from someone who listed Pablo "Frigioni," KJ "McDonalds" and Tyler "Ennison" as members of the team. Lol.
