    I wouldnt be surprised if we picked up Hollis Thompson to ease Ariza's minutes if NOLA cuts him, cheap shooter for hire.

    We preferably need another C and Wing but I wouldn't mind scooping up these Guards getting released either

    Meh, I could maybe see grabbing Jennings if we had struck out on Lou Will. But, I don't see him as a 5th guard. He needs the ball in his hands to contribute, and I don't think he'd be happy with such limited minutes.

    Are there any decent, CURRENT players that might be bought out soon aside from Jennings? Or is this pretty much the rotation going forward?

    I think Morey has his eye on a defensive minded SF who can hit the trey ball.

    As a buyout candidate now or as a trade / free agent signing in the summer? I could name one or two that fit the latter but are under contract and therefore not likely to become Rockets; and buyout candidates........well, don't know who it'd be.

    My guess is if he dose not get one in the buyout period he will target someone in the offseason. I just cant see us not re-signing Ariza and as it stands we don't have a viable backup for him.So even if we bring Trevor back at this stage of his career he needs to play less and a viable backup is a must. Dekker is more of a PF then a SF in my opinion so he ant be a long term solution at the 3 spot.

    As much as I love Scola, his DRtg is at the worst of his career. Not sure he fits our need at the moment other than the veteran presence.

    Is Phil trying to certify that he is the worst front office guy of all time?
