"There were some new - but familiar - faces on the Toyota Center practice court today. One might stick around. Stromile Swift, Lorenzen Wright and Jelani McCoy joined the workouts, hoping for an invite to training camp and a chance to make the team as a backup big man. Putting aside how much life has changed for Swift since the previous time he was a new guy in Rockets gear, then a coveted free agent addition that Tracy McGrady pledged to make an all-star, his return to the practice floor along with Wright and McCoy was another indication that the Rockets would like to add one more big man at least for training camp" http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2009/09/stros_back_not_quite_but_it_wa.html
Wright used to be a pretty good center for Memphis...haven't heard anything about him for a loooooong time though. Swift...no.
Stromile is not bad. He could atleast dunk on some people in what might be a very, very long season... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_GiLII8vw4A&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_GiLII8vw4A&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0UT_hzNq_M&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0UT_hzNq_M&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> WOW!

I'd honestly rather just not have a center than bringing in any of those guys. I get the feeling Anderson sucks more than I thought. Stanley Roberts does some work for the Rockets just sign him.
http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2009/09/stros_back_not_quite_but_it_wa.html Does this mean that, that Boston and TWolves trade rumor is true? This off-season sucks... T-Back is still on the team.
