    Good signing. One thing about Boykins is he can always get in the paint even though he cant score he can help alot with the second unit.

    How did Morey come up with this one?

    Signing a guard smaller than Brooks? Cammybear is supposed to help with the opposing PG on every posession?

    I've always wondered that, if the Rockets had both of them at the same time, whether we can execute a play where Yao Ming stands with his legs wide apart, letting Boykins go through before having Yao close his legs prior to the defender coming through.

    someone correct me if i'm wrong, but since he wasn't waived by another team he is indeed eligible for the postseason if the Rockets make it and choose to keep him.

    he really is a spark off the bench, which is much needed with both lee and dragic starting lately...and budinger producing jack ****

    I am actually thrilled to hear this. Boykins may be old, but just last year he was tossing up a completely legit 17 and 6 assists per 36 minutes on solid shooting.

    Boykins is getting physical now. If things go smoothly, could be available as soon as tonight.

    So four pages and no real feed back as to why he wasn't in the league already, what was he up to? hoping he storms out from the start but my expectations will be set pretty low.
