i remember him on the Lakers if he is anything like he was then its miles ahead of what Dmo or Casspi bring
so we signed the useless pos pittman, only to release him? gave him free money? really? i want free money for being a useless pos. but uhh... lmao @ this thread
I think this is somewhat of a possibility. He's a true 4. He's good defensively when he's beside a legit 5 that can defend. He can shoot the basketball...in my opinion better than Casspi or DMo and most definitely better than Jones. This shuffling of the deck from Smith to Pittman to now Powell indicates to me a real concern on the Rox that we have another guy to bring in and play some competitive defense to take foul count away from our other bigs and possibly give us some spacing on the offensive end. Everyone here should realize we are going to be facing dual big lineups in the playoffs that far outsize Jones.
if it's worth anything I would sign Manny Pacquiao for the playoffs for some bruiser type role hahaha
Morey was trying to trade for a star point guard before the deadline. That was his main focus, and wanted to give up Lin and Asik, our defensive anchor off the bench. Morey was not looking for a PF.
DWill was long before the deadline and Rondo was never coming to Houston. Morey wanted another star, he wasn't specifically looking for a PG.
Of course, we traded our insurance PG Brooks to get Hamilton. Rockets need reinforcement in several positions, but forward seems most needed right now.
