    I believe MCW has agreed to a one-year deal with the Hornets

    Robinson isn't nearly as terrible as most people on here keep saying. He played pretty well for the Lakers in limited mins last year. He just isn't what he was expected to be coming out of college.

    I think Harden has no problem playing off ball when he feels the player has equal or better talent than him. See Westbrook and Durant. However, with Dwight he was just frustrated in that terrible post up game and constant bricking of free throws. It's different thing to take criticism from someone who you fell is inferior and to take criticism for someone who you feel is a peer.

    I'm all for Ian Clark with the BAE. A 26 year old athletic scorer off the bench doesn't grow on trees. The Rockets need youth along with our veterans.

    Unfortunately, there seems to be hardly anyone available as a 5/4, which still remains the biggest need for the Rockets.

    Most of the ppl on here only watch Rockets games and rely on media bias for non Rox players, TRob as a center is literally baby Nene

    Dedmon, Festus,, Zaza, Mcgee DMo are all outright available and are better than Robinson.

    I like this list. Thanks for making it.

    I liked Wood since the draft. He hasn't shown anything but I still think he has the tools. Of course, I loved Anthony Randolph, too, and we know how that turned out.
    Shabazz is a yes for me but I'm not sure we need more at his position.
    Sullinger is good but the health is an issue.

    There is no bargain hunting without undersized power forwards.

    Bring back T _ones and Jeff Adrien!!!

    What we need is a video of Ryan Anderson hitting 78 3-pointers in a row during practice (1 better than Curry) and have it go viral. That should help drive his stock up! LOL.

    And they'd all cost more. Adding would still leave room to sign someone else. And Festus is trash, how ****ing dare you try and sneak that **** by

    DEDMON! DEDMON! DEDMON!

    I really liked that guy in the playoffs last year. His skillset and intensity would actually get us closer to stopping the Warriors than many others.

    Imagine this defensive lineup:

    PG - Chris Paul
    SG - PJ Tucker
    SF - Trevor Ariza
    PF - Nene
    C - Dewayne Dedmon

    Two words - Locked. Down.

    If I knew we could sign Dedmon I would add Capela to the pot for Anthony and get it done. Dedmon is a beast in the pick and roll.

    PG - Chris Paul / ***
    SG - James Harden. / Eric Gordon
    SF - Trevor Ariza. / PJ Tucker
    PF - Carmelo Anthony. / ***
    C - Nene. / Dewayne Dedmon

    That is 8 strong.

    So you want to add Dedmon and let Capela walk?

    Yeah, no. Dedmon is 100 percent fools gold.
