    You know JVG rotation is real tight, so what do you think it will be

    Fish
    jj
    T-mac
    Jowon
    Yao

    Lue
    Mo
    Gaines?

    He will easily get more minutes than Gaines, Boki is going to be on the rotation, he could have been part of the T Mac deal but we kept him, surely there are plans for him here in Houston.

    i think boki can be molded into a bruce bowen type of player--decent offensive skills with a lot of hustle on the defensive end.

    Boki is already better offensively than Bowen.

    Maybe Boki should become our Tayshaun Prince.

    we need him to be just as good on defense then. offensively, he might be better than Bowen but 1. that's not saying a lot and 2. i don't see him being a BIG contributor to our offensive plans.

    i think in order for boki to get more PT and to play better, he has to level up on his D. this is not a knock on his D, but it's just a way for him to stay on the court for longer spans if he can be a defensive stopper that JVG is probably looking for.

    It will be a 9 man rotation.

    I just can't even guess until we make a few free agent acquisitions. JVG mentioned that point guard and back up center are top priorities.

    what about adrian griffin?

    i think this would be a solid 9 man rotation...

    fisher/lue
    j.j./griffin
    t-mac/boki
    howard/taylor
    yao/taylor

    provided we sign d-fish (i like him better than snow or barry).

    at the 2 and 3 those guys are interchangeable, especially in the jvg system. all 4 of them can play either position depending on match-ups.

    spoon could be worked in as well to provide more front-court depth. b/t the 3 power forward there should be enough to spell yao for 12 minutes a game.

    Gaines is not under contract. He will not make the team.

    Com'on, he was the 15th pick last season. His contract is guaranteed for three years.
