    For the love of God Morey, let's get some fresh legs and more length/physicality before post season. Rockets have lost their swagger and are dog tired.

    Sanders allows MDA to rest Nene and brings in another center with length, athleticism and D intensity to play teams like Jazz, Grizz and Spurs. Stephenson adds a true 3-D back up to Ariza, not to mention he has almost 7 foot wingspan and can create for himself and others. Neither Dekker or Gordon can defend talented SF.

    May as well sign Casspi too while at it. He can sit bench as good as Bobby while he heals. And could actually help in playoffs. No faith in Dekker right now.

    Stephenson just signed another 10-day contract with the Timberwolves and if i'm correct and please do correct if i'm wrong, the Timberwolves have to sign him til the end of season after his 2nd 10-day contract is over?

    There is nobody out there. Even if we do sign Sanders, the guy is not in NBA shape to help out. It sucks but this is the line up we will have to live with. I personally would take Josh Smith on this team just as insurance.

    The Rockets need more size at the center position. Capela is not able to play against bigger centers, and Nene is only useful in short spurts. Morey knew this but decided to add another 3pt shooter smh. It seems more and more obvious he's hoping we'll "get hot" and all our other flaws will just disappear

    This is an underrated problem. Ariza has two jobs on offense - swing the ball around the arc and shoot it occasionally. He's not doing well at that, recently.

    Dekker has been regressing as the season goes on, unfortunately. I think he'll figure it out at some point, but no idea when.

    These two players are who I had in mind also. SANDERS AND Stephenson would solidify this squad! Morey u listen bro?
