    Machado was undrafted. Beverley was drafted.

    Obviously you have no clue.

    Beverley without question is superior to Machado. Beverley's latest stint wasn't in the Ukraine, but rather Russia, which probably is the second best domestic league in Europe. His now former team also plays in the Eurocup and the VTB League, which though not quite Euroleague level, is better than the D-League where Machado stunk it up.

    I just love how everyone keeps comparing seasoned vets to a rookie of only, what, 3 months.:rolleyes:

    If this is the first move to get Cousins, we're going to lose probably 4 players in the process, right? I'm thinking Douglas, Morris, Motiejunas or Jones? Player X?

    You had zero qualms of comparing Terrence Jones and Dwight Howard not too long ago, if my memory serves me correctly. Good advice, though.

    If you would go back and check those out, you would see that i meant 3-4 years down the road. Good point, though.

    im kinda glad machado is gone. that guy had problems driving through the lane against crappy d league defenses while courtney fortson can explode for 35 and still get a decent amount of assist. this new guy actually looks like he can at least be just as good as prime jonny flynn.

    Another good move by Morey.

    Not sure if this guy can pan out (never heard of him), but he does provide some insurance/back-up for injury at PG spot (seeing Machado is clearly not ready and the Rockets are not tanking).

    We may need/use TD in a trade and he's off books at season end. So might as well take a look at a potential replacement.

    In my opinion, it may not be Machado that gets waived. Why call him up from DLeague just to waive him? Perhaps a trade involving Cook or Aldrich?

    Let me think about it:

    He gets on the court in garbage time and immediately turns it over.

    Mmmmm. No. He's cut material.

    So, while Pat Beverly thanks Jesus, is Scott Machado cursing Jesus and sacrificing goats to the Devil?

    Not sure about Bible Study, but definitely a hand shake like Landry:
