You think he would be a good pick up for the Rockets? He is going to be a FA and has played well since coming into the league. All he needs is minutes. He has size 6-9 230, is same age as Yao, and shots a high % on his shots and free throws. If he Rockets signed him do you think he would be a good pick up?
Would love to have him come off the bench behind JJ and eventually start. He's got very good size and is athletic. I'd be a bit worried about his attitude, but he's kept quiet lately and just done what he's been told. His shooting seems to have improved judging by his stats, and he's been great in limited minutes. I'm surprised he's shot 38.8%, although he's only taken 1.2 3pter's per game. His rebounding per minute is decent, although it's not JJ-like. IMO, he's be a great pickup if we could get him for slightly below the MLE. Something like 4 years and 20M, with the contract starting off around 4M. I wonder if the Nuggets would allow him to leave for that kind of money, they'd probably match it. They wouldn't sign n trade him to a rival either. It's a good idea, someone who could develop into a very good piece, and he's still young.
Denver didn't exercise White's forth year, so he is a free agent now. Denver can't just go out and match his offer anymore.
It sounds like a terrific move, I would love to see the guy come to Houston. I've actually been looking at him for a couple of years now, we badly need this kind of athlete at the 3, it would do wonders for us I think. It's not that I don't think that JJ is phenomenol, but this guy would give us some depth.
Is this true? Are you absolutely suer he's unrestricted and Denver can't match? If so, we should go after him with the MLE. Great piece to add to this team, will learn from JJ hopefully, and become a long-term starter for this team with some polishing.
With his size he could also play some power forward too. I remember when the Wizards had the #1 draft pick, MJ thought about drafting him saying he was the best talent in the draft.
Where did this guy come from? Why do I know his name? He played well in the game Friday and the dunk on Yao was INSANE!
Rodney White played for Charlotte. Here is his nbadraft profile. http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/rodneywhite.htm
I would love White. He's a nice offensive weapon and with Ming in the block and him spotting up for threes, I get very comfortable. Good player acquisition idea, by the way--I feel like I need to say that after the hundred bad threads with the same garbage.
Exactly. If he hadn't have just had a good game, which any NBA player is capable of, especially against the Rockets, there'd be no thread about this player.
