I read where there is not much room in the rotation for OT. Would he be a good fit back here for a year or so? I missed him when he was traded.

Billy Paultz, Jim Peterson, and Serge Zwikker are available too!

One big difference TB3-- Otis was in the league last year. I saw him play in some of the playoffs and he looks like he can still board and outlet. Isn't that what we want out of our PF?

Otis was my favorite Rocket(hence my UserName) because he did the dirty work, went to war on the boards and never complained. But, I think he and Rudy are on the outs. I don't think Rudy would bring him back for any reason.

OT could be a decent backup, but he's not the solution to our problems.
The Rockets do have a hole at the PF position, but we're talking about one that can only be filled with a decent starting PF, not an 8th or 9th man.
