    A small trade is so much more logical than just cutting everyone. Especially when we have guys on the backend of our roster with guaranteed money that a lower end team will surely take.

    Doesnt necessarily mean a trade in the works. Just made McHale make a huge decision on who to cut now. We have to cut 6 guys instead of 5 now.

    So like...we have to make cuts in just a couple days, right? Is Clark definitely making the roster? Why else would we get him?

    Interesting move, but why was he waived?

    So we now have 5 PFs (6 if you count Dorsey) on the roster. Sounds familiar. It happened in the year when we got White, Jones, and Moteijunas all at the same time. The difference is, Jones and DMo aren't rookies anymore. You can't just stick them to the D-League.

    So at least 2, probably 3, of those guys won't be wearing a Rockets uni when the season starts.

    David West only helps us short term.

    Saw him being waived and was surprised, he seemed like a very capable stretch player for the Lakers and many teams need a guy like him. Hope we're keeping Clark and he works himself into the rotation.

    I hope we keep both of them. I grew to like Adrien's game, and Black showed that he has hella potential.

    I remember I picked him up on my Fantasy team 2 seasons ago and he was beasting for like a month.

    Anyway, he could be a solid role player if we keep him.

    David West would fit in great alongside Dwight. He'd bring some toughness with him and then we'd have Harden surrounded by 4 above-average defenders. It would be a great pickup if it could happen.
