    Tucker has a 7'0 wingspan

    Some places list his wingspan longer.

    https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/2/11/21132460/houston-rockets-pj-tucker-small-ball

    And some even shorter.

    https://spacecityscoop.com/2020/02/19/wingspan-difference-houston-rockets/

    But he was measured at 6'11.5 at the combine.

    Let’s convince Collison to come out of retirement.


    Dump WB, sign Collison and Johnson.

    Yes he is considered a high IQ player on the defensive end that has a very strong motor and can be relentless. Weaver coached him and knows his very well, but the Rockets interest predated Weaver being a Rockets coach.

    Just to be clear, I have some questions as well. I was just pointing out that Tate is someone they really scouted well and liked during the season last year. The interest in him wasn’t from a single person on the Rockets front office staff but multiples including some no longer with the organization.

    I don’t know, I only know that the Rockets have liked him dating back to last year and planned to add him believing he could really help them defensively while developing as a shooter.

    Cool! Wow! I’m astonished, is he injured?
    He must have been snapped up by now.
    I would love to have him on the Rockets if he’s healthy and available.

    I would too... not sure about injury. Bulls just seem headed in a new direction.

    I think he was brought in by previous GM / administration so they want to go in a new direction.

    Not sure what it was, but I hope we can take advantage!

    That bench is not very deep. We need Taj Gibson I believe to shore up the frontline especially at the 4 spot and Clemons as the primary backup? He was a terrible playmaker last season . He is more of a undersized 2 guard
