    Ihear Denzel Livingston has gotten better after that gruesome knee injury where his knee just caved in during a fast break...and he can fly planes upside down...hope that crooked pinky finger doesnt affect his game in the pros.:grin:

    Interesting signing. I'm sure the folks that wet the bed over Hassan Whiteside will love this signing. For whatever reason this guy hasn't stuck anywhere but he's got a shot here to carve out a role as the prototypical emergency center. He's got a real shot at making the 15th roster spot if he doesn't botch it up.

    You do realize that Jeremy Lin, Shaun Livingston and Hassan Whiteside have also been "grade A scrubs" in our organization?

    Harden 220 lbs, DMo 222 lbs :) You'd think they'd update the obvious changes in weights at least once in a while.

    Agree, DMo should be around 260 pounds (he should have some extra fat after surgery & not doing much first few months). Look at these same angle photos - Dekker at 230 pounds.

    I know it was totally irrational and I knew all along I was being dumb, but from the moment I saw the camp invitees announcement up until the above roster post allowed me to break the association I was mentally picturing former Texas A&M-walkon-version-of-Ryan-Bowen Chris Walker being a Rocket.

    How much do players get paid to be a training camp body signing?

    We may need new training camp bodies - looks like Meat Smoothie ate the others.

    training camp invitees have the same similiar rules as summer league players. they don't get paid a salary but they get a per diem with hotel/travel expenses to take part.
