    The Rockets have waived Jon Leuer and Jerome Jordan. When they clear waivers, Rockets will sign Omer Asik to offer sheet.

    I had hope for Jerome Jordan and Leuer. Him, Parsons, and Isiah Thomas were the steals of the 2nd round.

    I thought for sure we'd keep Leuer. He's not a bad player.

    Dang Leuer is a legitimate player in this league. Disappointing to see him leave for nothing, but best of luck to him.

    Letting Leuer go is a mistake. Better than Patterson or Jorts.

    Doubt many would have guessed those two would be the ones to get cut.

    I guess they figure these guys will have some demand so they could actually be claimed on waivers - meaning we will be off the hook for their salary (even any guaranteed portions).

    And the fact that we have 14 other bigs on the depth chart right now so they don't have even a remote shot at playing here.

    Really think Asik starts...(similar to Camby) and DMo plays significant minutes...
