Rockets sign four training camp bodies

Ihear Denzel Livingston has gotten better after that gruesome knee injury where his knee just caved in during a fast break...and he can fly planes upside down...hope that crooked pinky finger doesnt affect his game in the pros.:grin:

 

Interesting signing. I'm sure the folks that wet the bed over Hassan Whiteside will love this signing. For whatever reason this guy hasn't stuck anywhere but he's got a shot here to carve out a role as the prototypical emergency center. He's got a real shot at making the 15th roster spot if he doesn't botch it up.

The signing of booties will take place after the media day interviews.

 

You do realize that Jeremy Lin, Shaun Livingston and Hassan Whiteside have also been "grade A scrubs" in our organization?

 

Sweet, we got Josh Smith and Terrence Jones back!!

 

Four bodies in one?

 

We got the younger brother. Joshua.

 

Harden 220 lbs, DMo 222 lbs You'd think they'd update the obvious changes in weights at least once in a while.

 

Agree, DMo should be around 260 pounds (he should have some extra fat after surgery & not doing much first few months). Look at these same angle photos - Dekker at 230 pounds.

 

I know it was totally irrational and I knew all along I was being dumb, but from the moment I saw the camp invitees announcement up until the above roster post allowed me to break the association I was mentally picturing former Texas A&M-walkon-version-of-Ryan-Bowen Chris Walker being a Rocket.

Spoiler

 

How much do players get paid to be a training camp body signing?

 

We may need new training camp bodies - looks like Meat Smoothie ate the others.

 

training camp invitees have the same similiar rules as summer league players. they don't get paid a salary but they get a per diem with hotel/travel expenses to take part.

 

been tuning in and out for the last few months, but didn't see Christian Wood on the list. Is he gone ?

 

Think 76ers signed him.
