    UPDATE: Rockets press release:
    <HR>
    Olbrecht is on his way to the south.

    I say that by the end of the season T-Jeezie will be the new starting PF, and D-mo will be D-moted to backup center.

    My physician is a consummate professional and I hope he retires a rocket.

    They need him for the playoffs in RGV since Royce White is not playing.

    Tim is their center cuz Royce White wouldn't bother.

    Actually, he can play. We picked him up as insurance for our playoff run, just like Brooks. Olbrecht will get minutes if something happens to Asik or Smith.

    They are going to need him to win that D-league championship.

    No, actually you're wrong. If something happens to Asik or Smith, D-mo will play. D-mo is the third string center. Olbrecht is on Timofey Mozgov's level.

    Royce makes room for himself. With flyers, on people's doors.

    Yeah, I first used it in my Terrence Jones post. When I predicted that T-jones would get called up and get minutes, 24 hours before he got called up and got minutes.

    I disagree. I saw Olbrecht play a lot of D-League games, and in my opinion he is a better center than D-Mo is at this point. D-Mo gets bullied by NBA Centers and gets in foul trouble within a few minutes. I hope we don't have to depend on either D-Mo or Olbrecht playing center anytime soon, but I think Olbrecht would be my choice at this time. That's just my opinion. I do hope that D-Mo can bulk up and play center in the coming years.
