    What do you guys think? The year before last Mache was widely known as the best shooter in Europe. The Hornets are merely looking to dump his salary which is 2.5 mill this year with a PO for 2.5 next year. The Rockets need shooting badly and they also need depth at the 2-guard position. He seems like a perfect fit.

    I think he might be too used to that WNBA ball he's using to be effective.

    That Euro didn't prove that he can get anything done over seas; this guy proved it on his Euro League teams and on Yugoslavia in international competitions.

    That's true. Macijauskas played at the highest level in Europe and was one of the best players there. Lampe was drafted based on potential.

    That's all it would take. Part of the TE and a second rounder or cash.

    I think he's a better shooter, but doesn't have the driving ability or PG skills that V-Span has.

    He's a pure 2 while Novak is a 3/4.
