Rockets set to release Robert Covington (2014)

Capela going to dleague roster is set. If we have to cut btween black adrien and dorsey its dorsey

 

I rather keep Dorsey and Cut Garcia:

Going out Powell, Mitchell, Convington, trade Canaan, Garcia

 

this is why you don't skip leg day.

but in all seriousness, wish him the best. he'll get a go somewhere else

 

The Rockets will trade him for a bag of chips.

Other teams showing "interest" doesn't mean they are willing to give you anything for him, they probably just want to get rid of their our scrubs also.

 

it's because Black played solid last night.

 

That sucks. Wish him the best.

 

Troy looks like a big guy..

 

For you.

 

difficult for a player like covington to find a spot, as he doesn't have a natural position in the nba.

 

Covington just didn't hit his 3 point shots with any consistency at the NBA level, and that was his role. Lit it up in the D-league, and I could see him back with the Vipers if no other NBA team picks him up.

 

I was really high on Covington. How could you not be? 6'9 frame with a sweet stroke and the potential to be a good defender. He looked so promising at the end of last offseason.

Too bad he could never put it together on the NBA stage. His mentality just wasn't there.

I hope the Rockets can get a pick for him. Undraftees for a pick is a Morey move at its finest.

I wish him all the luck though.

 

Just another D league wannabee.

 

I'm just glad there's no ottoman in this picture.

 

LOL, look at them bird legs!! Looks like his top half was spliced with someone else's bottom half.

 

Hes a great player, but he just never shown up in the NBA. Killed it in the D-League though.

 

Random but my cousin who works within the Rockets organization sent me the shorts that Caanan has on:grin:

 

World of difference between the NBA and any othy league.

 

Not surprising at all after his horrible performance in the Summer League.

 

Loved this kid really wished he could of stayed but it's a business. Best of luck Rob!!!

 

at worst, send him to Philly

Covington has a sweet stroke, but can't defend and create for others at the NBA level. You could see it in his facial expression last night he knew the writing was on the wall.

Will we still have one last game of the Vipers trio?

Perhaps the Vipers program (since Nick Johnson will be sent down) should include not only making threes but learning how to handle the ball. Canaan, Cov, and Daniels never learned it last year. Paging coach Nevada ...
