    Wouldn't mind getting a Casspi. 12ppg, 48% FG% and 40% 3pt% last season. Plus his sister is decent looking and plays. Gentile contributes that I am happy.

    Omri and Alessandro on the same team will enable the Rockets to appeal to both Jewish and Gentile fans.

    Gentile met last night with Armani's president and he said he is reconsidering his decision to come over to the NBA. Armani told him they are planning next year with him in their plans.

    The hits just keep on coming. Not that he would be a great player but if he's another Llull, then it's just a stash with unfulfilled promise.

    Why? Brewer brings nothing at all to the team. If not for Terrence Jones he'd be the worst player on the roster.

    Back to the days of morey scraping the barrel in the draft and hoping on mediocre euro players. Great times are back in mediocre rocket land. Thank maury.

    D'antoni being a legend overseas could sway more International free agents

    he just gained an "it" factor

    If Gentile comes over and proves to fit welll, we could probably get away with trading Ariza. His contract is a bargain with some of these contracts nowadays.

    Not really..Casspi has a sneakily decent season last season. 12 pts, 6 rebs, 48% FG, 41% 3 pt. Brewer may have been one of the worst players in the league last season.
