Rockets sign Chuck Hayes for the remainder of the season

yes! here's to hoping he doesn't MoTay on us.

 

Did we give him 48 million? If not, I don't think that's possible.

 

good move

 

Congrats to Hayes. I know it's off topic a little, but I really like how Swift came back too. Seein these two with Baxter holdin it down, makes watching games easier to watch. And when Yao comes back along with the others, I hope he'll still get some minutes.

Congradulations to Hayes again!

 

I wish we signed him for a great time frame - say a Team option for 2 more years. Anyway- in a season filled with negativity- this is a positive!

 

He is still too short to be an NBA starter and Juwan and SS are better players but he will be a good hustle and energy guy ala Ryan Bowen. Happy for the kid, gets to live his NBA dream. Sorry to lose JL3 but maybe he takes the place of Mooch next year.

 

How tall was Charles Barkley?

 

Per Mr. Rolo

"yes! here's to hoping he doesn't MoTay on us."

Not clear what you mean- I take it this is a negative posture on Taylor-after he signed the multi year contract for 48 mil, later had Achilles tendon injury and other problems- he did come to camp in top shape. He was a consistent offensive scorer, who after getting in JVG's dog house was Traded for Moochie and Vin Baker.

I agree-I hope we do not trade him again for a recovering alchoholic who cannot play, and a CBA player.

Your right - we should have held off on signing Hayes in case he might "MoTay " on us.

 

The camera angle is looking up at him a bit, so I'd say 6'6".

 

closer to 6'6, but damn, thats one helluva comparison when u talk about height.

 

exactly... i mean how tall was Wilt?

 

if hayes developes a little mid range jumper his best comparison would be malik rose. maybe good enough to start but just too short to ever crack the line-up.

when yao gets back he won't see any minutes behind jho & stro and yao & deke. not to mension that we still have baxter.

 

God Barkley has a odd shaped head..nice and pointy in the middle..giving him some added heighth

 

It's not possible. Hayes already grabbed more rebounds than MoTay did in 3 1/2 years as a rocket.

 

I firmly believe that Hayes' competition has made Baxter play better.

 

His mama obviously never put a hat on him when he was a baby. Thats how you shape a head.

 

Say whaaaat?

 

hayes has played during crunch time in every game since we've called him up. yes yao and stro haven't been back but he played ahead of either juwon or deke in the 4th in all of those games. van gundy has alot of confidence in him to minimize mistakes. his minutes will decrease but depending on matchups i still expect chuck hayes to be out there. deke probably won't be seeing more then ten minutes a game.

 

Hayes lack of height is offset by his surprising lateral quickness. Most 4's don't posses that kind of lateral quickness. He separates from his man very well, and has the great hands like Otis Thorpe to catch and hold on to the ball while penetrating to the rack. Now if he can just develop a consistant jump shot he would turn in to a nice player.
