    well, 3 years aint 7, and we got Steve Novak out of the Mo T contract (hopefully he pans out).

    either way, awesome signing. satisfies the fans needs to have a exciting rookie to look forward to watching.

    we'll sign jl3, and it seems like all we are is the right PF away from having a great team. hopefully we'll get him before the season starts, but if not, i still think we had a pretty damn good offseason.

    as long as tmac and yao stay healthy, we've got alot to look forward to.

    This is great news, although I liked Marks Bank better coz he would provide some toughness at PG but 5yr/$21million is just way too much. Now we can move to shop for some backup PF with the left of MLE and the larger TE

    Wasn't Manu significantly older? I'm glad for this move. It's the first off-season move that we can get excited about the P-word.

    From what I have seen and heard (not much) his game reminds me of Barbosa with a bit more slashing and a little less 3 point shooting. How is his defense? Is there any more videos of him besides that playoff one. So if we signedd him to half our MLE. We could use the other half on Wright and still have the 4.2 TE to improve our team. :)

    I'm not at all happy that he is a big flopper...but unfortunately the odds are that he won't have much opportunity to show off his flopping skills anyway.

    Now why is he called Kill Bill?

    Is he going to play the summer league. I think he will play the world's in Japan for Greece next month.

    Sounds like we now have an American Bob Sura, as well as a Greek Bob Sura (with some speed).

    I like it!

    He could also get alot of 2 guard minutes, depending on the lineup...

    Looking at his contract terms, looksl like another "cheap" solution. Time will tell.

    We will find out. I don't have a good "feel" for KillBill myself, like I did the first time I saw Clutch's videos of Yao, and just knew the guy was going to be special. Hey, at least his moniker rocks. We'll have something else to follow this season, in that on-going soap opera, These are the Days of the Houston Rockets.

    Or something like that. ;)
