    He has always been big and beefy. I ran into him at the Waldorf in Chicago a few times over the years. He looks about the same honestly. He has been a solid 240-250 lbs for years.

    He also is at least 6'5", if not 6'6". He was eye level to me when I was barefoot. Guy has the size to play some minutes at the 4; just a very large man.

    sorry, it was 40% with TO, but obviously he didn't play there the whole year. Hopefully he can keep that up, but either way, mid-to upper 30's is really good.

    It's always good to go to an opposing fan forum and see how they feel about losing a player.

    Raptor fans are really not pleased with it.

    Love this guy. He is a tough sob. I know Harden always had trouble playing this guy.

    Harden had difficult time against this guy whenever we played the Suns. Tenacious, versatile wing defender and decent shooter. Overall, a solid addition.

    Ok I was wondering cause he looked really bulky and lumbering in Toronto and I don't recall him being that big in Phoenix

    Why do you think it is an either/or scenario?

    Nice signing. One of the better perimeter defenders in the league who can also match up with some fours. It's also nice to see a felliw Horn playing for the Rockets.

    Can we talk more about this? CP as leader, well-connected vet, and head of players' association? I'd love to know more about what he's doing behind the scenes, and the extent to which his recruiting power factored in to Morey's pursuit of him.
