Rockets also pursuing Dampier (UPDATE: Rockets make 2-year offer)

I agree.

But you difference aside about the guy, we need size and rebounding down low...

 

Doesn't matter, RA will start Chuck Hayes....REMEMBER.

 

This team need someone to rebound and protect the rim when Yao is out.
Dampier might make a different in the game like yesterday and in the 4 th quarter against the Lakers when Yao is out and we need someone to rebound, block shot, and protect the rim. We should call him up and offer more playing time to see if we can get him to sign with us. SWE have enuf scorer and you not going to win without defense.

 

He doesnt fit Adelmans system

 

he will be out there purely for blocks and rebounding, not making back door cuts with athletic finishes, or shooting midrange jumpers.

 

Yea too bad Damp wouldn't sniff the court under Adelman's rule... No wonder he's not signing here.

 

Than Adelmans system doesn't fit winning rings...

Defense and Physicality will get us there, not backdoor cuts...

 

yea but I dont think Adelman will play him.

 

I dunno.....I think Adelman likes his bigs to have offensive capability.

 

This fool hasn't signed yet? Who does he think he is...Aaron Schobel???

 

Apparently, there is a certain guy from a certain website, that I will not name, that is current saying that Dampier will sign with the Rockets.

 

wouldnt be surprised. where else would he get the attention and the big role he will have here? unless he loves milwaukee winters.

 

For detail on who rockets934life is referring to...

Via Alex Kennedy of HW "website" and his twitter account... If true, Ish or Taylor might be cut.

"Erick Dampier may finally have a deal. It looks like the Houston Rockets could once again be frontrunner."

 

Actually, the "other" guy from the same website reported it first but since he is not a "reliable" source I'd rather wait for the big boys to report it.

Kennedy isn't bad but didn't see his tweet.

 

Go ahead and post the link. Its not like you're creating a new thread about it. Hoopsworld links are allowed here, aren't they?

 

Cool, I thought they weren't.

TheRocketGuy Houston Rockets will land Erick Dampier . . .sources close to the situation tell HOOPSWORLD . . .

Stevierebel posted Kennedy's tweet confirming the above tweet.

 

From Rotoworld.com:
Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld tweeted on Thursday that Erick Dampier may finally have a deal in place with the Rockets.
He then adds that the Rockets may be the front-runner for his services, indicating that a deal is not yet in place, so this is far from a concrete report. But with Yao Ming on a 24-minute limit and Brad Miller mysteriously playing just three minutes on Wednesday, the destination does make sense.

 

Dampier is not the answer, WTF is Morey doing?

DD

 

Dampier plays solid interior defense. Do want.

 

Hill is going to get buried on the bench now, is he that bad in practice?
