    Alright, since plan A to get Bogut failed what do you guys think Morey's plan B is? I really hope he has a plan for someone to be signed, because the clear lack of size and rebounding is a big issue. It has been one, but we're getting exposed and abused lately.

    Personally, I think that Scola should be signed along with another. Cut that d-league dude already, winning mode is now (Morey's words)! Scola at least can hit a jumper, even a three pointer and I'm sure he will do much better here in a place he's comfortable than with a losing team like the Nets. He can also teach 90% of our team what hustle means, sacrifice, hard work, rotating on defense, how to play defense and box out even if you are smaller than the opponent, how not to give up on a play and how not to be a p***y like our current guys are.

    Thoughts?

    If Plan A is to pick up a declining Center I am not sure Plan B would be so much better

    I wish he does not get his hopes up on Sanders.... that woud be a long term project.

    Go to war with this guys, pick up a guy or two from Dleague, Europe.......

    I'd go Scola and Sanders (Sanders with the DMo contract that have team options every year)...
    but Morey will probably get some European shooter who won't translate to the NBA and some unproven undersized forward like a Chuck Hayes type...
    Morey wants superstars or he likes to get guys that aren't on the radar - so he can show how much smarter he is than everybody else if they do well... smh...

    Whatever he does, i wish he'd get off his fat arse and do it! It is so stupid to be running with empty roster spots...

    Plan B is not walking through that door.

    This is who they are & what they've got.

    Scola would be a nice Vet addition - and he provides that moving off the ball intelligence that we need.

    Need to get a young vet from Europe and sign him to a 3-4 year deal. A big that can defend the paint, rebound, and shoot the three would be ideal. Get him on a low contract like a rookie deal, maybe last two years non-guaranteed. Melli makes a lot of sense to me. Need to look at guys in Europe with expiring deals. Morey did see Melli play a few days ago.

    Dream out of retirement. All we need is for him to stand around the paint on defense and play some D to ward of offenders. And, grab some rebounds.

    Scola isn't gonna do a damn thing, dude is washed

    There's nobody out there that's gonna make any sort of difference, so I'm not really sure what Morey can do.

    Morey's plan B is actually plan BB. Prepare for the era of Bobby Brown.

    Plan B...those pills you buy at those gas stations on the way to South Padre on that long ass drive because it was on the counter there and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Effects: Rockets play with more hustle and their skin becomes really pale...even discolored. Some may vomit but that's okay because it's all about winning.
