    Williams a athletic, defensive wing with a mediocre jumpshot. Plays hard and should be hungry.

    He's nothing like Westbrook.

    Of course he's nowhere close to Russ as a playmaker or even shooter. My focus was on their attacking style of play and similar measurables.

    Jamaal Franklin is better if looking for a development player, Lance Stephenson is better if looking for a contributing player.

    Not handsome enough for this team. We only want sexy players like Lou Williams.

    Still think Jamaal Franklin is the better basketball player without sacrificing any athleticism while adding better shooting, passing and more length (wingspan is just under 7 feet).





    Compared to Andre Iguodala by sbnation and to Will Barton by nbadraft.net.

    Williams scored 23 points against us in a last year's preseason game. Must have impressed Morey.

    We needed bodies at the wing, so I understand the move.

    Sure let's sign another f$%#$%%$$g guard!

    Our front court is CC (whose already had a notable injury), Nene (who cant play b2b), RA (who cant stay healthy) and Trez (who can't get consistent minutes..)

    Bogut turned down our 3M....

    so let's sign another guard.... what a joke.... smh...

    Obviously were just gonna go for broke on our 3s dropping - with no alternative gameplan... smh...

    Always a good idea to try and unearth cheap talent. 3 and D guys are a premium.

    I have too much adrenaline in my head right now to react to this signing.

    To learn the "system": jack three pointers, take it to the rim, hope James has a good game.

    An earth shattering occurrence. Crowds were reported outside the Toy Box. The Rockets will be transformed. There will be a run on Sonic chili dogs. Now excuse me while I return to my newspaper.

    Mike Harris might be the king of Rockets 10-day contracts.
