    Delfino was huge for the Rockets last year, and Garcia's good shooting was big in the playoffs.

    Can they pick up another shooter?

    Who is on the market?

    I wish we could resign him for the MLE.
    Do we even have that?

    The Rockets never managed to replace Delfino after Delfino got injured and then left for Milwaukee. Delfino is now a free agent after the Clippers waived Delfino. If Delfino can get healthy, Morey should sign Delfino to replace Delfino in the Delfino role.

    Hope doesn't win basketball games. Delfino does. Let's not hope. Let's Delfino.

    Delfino is a free agent specifically because his foot never healed from that injury.

    http://www.jsonline.com/sports/bucks/bucks-trade-carlos-delfino-miroslav-raduljica-to-clippers-for-jared-dudley-pick-b99338937z1-272825141.html

    "Carlos Delfino never did get a second dance with the Milwaukee Bucks.

    The Bucks signed the veteran small forward to a two-year, $6.5 million contract last summer. But a broken bone in his right foot required surgery in December and he did not play at all last season.

    ...

    It's uncertain if the deal could mark the end of Delfino's NBA career, given the serious nature of the foot injury he suffered during the 2013 playoffs when he was with the Houston Rockets.

    He will turn 32 years old Friday. Delfino worked tirelessly over the past few months with Bucks trainer Scott Barthlama, but a league source said the bone has not healed properly and the Argentine player might be out for another season."

    I'm sure Morey is scouting in the World Cup for a shooter.

    This was one of the more pointless necro bumps I've seen lately.

    Mission accomplished I guess?

    A better use of our BAE would be to try and sign okafor once he heals. I'd much rather Daniels develop than waste time with delfino.
