    I figured Covington had been given a contract but BJ Young is new, Doc Rocket prevails again.

    It's too bad that words can express his excitement, seems he would be happier.

    Yeah, we're looking for players who would be speechless when signing for the Rockets. Or at a minimum, not make typos on twitter.

    Cut this guy. Lin needs the playing time anyways.

    First Dwight, then Covington and Young? Houston have it all.

    Take that, Lakers!

    The thought of the two second rounders we'll get for them from a trade is exciting!

    it's funny how people are always quoting lakersground here. I wonder if they take quotes like this and make fun of us.

    That the Pels and Bux will be bidding against themselves to give?

    I've seen the Utah Jazz boards (all 4 fans) and Spurs boards both doing it before. Probably happens more than you think.

    Anyway, excited to get more depth / assets and see if these guys produce.

    Interesting that the tall TO failed to remain while tweeners survived.

    I'm still hoping for some Elton Brand with the last $s remaining (over vet mins). Insurance at 4/5 and hopefully some benefit to the two young'ns we are counting on.

    Cool, I guess. If Young is good enough to backup Harden, that would be huge for us.

    Never heard of lakersground before Dwight. A year from now nobody here will remember they exist. Unless we sign Pau...or Kobe :grin:

    Big fan of Covington... Dead eye three point shooter, and an underrated rebounder & rim protector.
