His only real value will be 6 hard dirty fouls and ability to set some bone crunching off/on ball screens to get our shooters open looks. For the minimum why not?
I don't think Bogut has enough in the tank to help us out. I'd rather have Nene playing those minutes.
Bogut would be good insurance, and could provide valuable depth. But his slight of the Rockets in favor of the Mavericks left a bitter taste in my mouth. If he can prove to Morley he still had game, time then sign him for sure, but only after any equal or better options have been exhausted.
Rockets need to wait and see who might get bought out. I’d take Lopez, Noah obviously chandler even though I doubt he gets bought out. All over bogut. Bogut hasn’t really been any good since his last year in Golden State and even that year they were starting to use him less and less compared to the yr before. If nothing breaks free I would take him cause he can do some dirty tough guy crap set a nice screen and pass the ball to cutters or guys in the corner. But I don’t see him being the rim protector he was 3-4 years ago.
Whoever they get at the 5 spot better run the pick n roll good and better be able to catch lobs and bounce passes
really?? Why not have him injure someone on the warriors instead. Look Bogut is a douche, but we need a player like that in our team, He will aggravate opponent players and is not a bad option at all (If hes on your team) I think he would be a great pick up
exactly- imagine getting curry durant or thompson on one of those hard screens (Ha) Payback is no joke)
Bogut has to be better than Black. Nene is less reliable and hasn't been as good this season, I think we will need another big in certain situations. I don't see him playing much but it'd be nice to have the insurance.
Sources: Andrew Bogut BADLY wants to be a Rocket Then again, at this point doesn't Andrew Bogut do pretty much EVERYTHING badly?
The Pelicans actually makes a lot of sense for Bogut. Worth noting, the Pelicans could likely be the Rockets 1st round opponent.
Guys one name you should keep an eye on is Mo Speights from Orlando. When Vuc comes back, I could see the Magic buying out Speights. Speghts played with CP in LAC for a year. Familiarity there. Just like with Luc. He is a stretch C with a good 3pt shot. I think he would be a good fit and really add to the 2nd unit. Would be more productive than Black. Speights probably also wouldn't mind getting back at the Warriors.
Win win is if he gets Draymond to do something stupid like kick him or hit him....Bogut gets hurt (not injured) and Draymond gets suspended.
