    Bring back Clint Capela and get him on the fast track development plan against NBA big men!

    Hope it works in our favor and buys us time for Terrence and Dwight to get to 100%.

    Morey, please magic us some depth and help us get to the playoffs with our top 8 players all at 100% health

    Wouldn't be the Rockets if there weren't serious, season-affecting injuries to our starters. *sigh*...

    Every freaking season. :(

    dorsey, black and dmo can hold the 4 spot down in jones absence...said no rocket fan ever

    if jones misses another month rockets are screwed. we gott away with dmo and black for alittle over a week but that streak is over.

    maybe we get kostas on heavy roids to add 20lbs, move him to 4. he'll be stronger and angry as hell, so no one would wanna mess with him or dwight.

    Guys id go after...

    Bass
    Sullinger
    Ilyasova
    Jason Thomason
    Landry

    Not sure how availible sully or Landry are... I could see Boston dumping either sully or bass though.

    Add Kelly Olynik and maybe Derrick Williams.

    Boston and Sac both have a handful of 4s. They could benefit from swapping one of them for More depth a another position.

    I really like Olynyk .... BUT I cant see Boston moving him. Not with three years remaining on his rookie deal paying him just over $2m per. Quality bigs are just too hard to find & Olynyk has a lot of tools ..... Lots of value there for Boston.

    Sounds like something close to what Steve Nash went through when he broke he messed up his leg and then had nerve issues

    I think I have finally cracked the code of Rockets press lingo and the secret to the way this organization always tries to downplay injuries to its players. The recent Howard injury is just another example of these "phantom" injuries where the front office doesn't want our fans to forget about coming out to games and buying tickets. Instead of saying "It's bad and Howard will be out 1-2 months, and we will probably drop to the bottom of the division within the next three or four weeks because we have Tarik Black as a replacement." they say "Well, its just a sprained knee nothing serious he is day to day."

    In reality, what they are really saying is that Howard will most likely miss 1-2 months of action and our team is going to plummet in the division.

    T-Jones is probably done for the year, Howard will be hobbled going into the All-Star break but hey folks....come out and watch us get railed by 30 points to the Mavs!

    theyre sitting tjones out so they can focus on getting a PF via trade. tjones will magically appear once our team has another capable big man - and houston will blast off.

    Its funny how how we loose 2 games and we're like, WHERE'S JONES!!! lol. But I think

    he's established himself as the starting PF. We need to give the bench time to develop

    because unfortunately, D-mo is still inconsistent, Tarik Black can't make a layup, I really

    don't know what Joey Dorsey brings other than strength, and where's Clint?

    Why is Clint Capela only getting 10 minutes a game on the Vipers?! Last game he got 7 minutes.

    Did I misunderstand what DE-VEL-OP-MENT League meant? I don't care if he sucks in the present. Are we trying to be D-League Champs or speed up development of our rookies?

    Is he injured? Is he on the trade block? Confused and frustrated about that.
