    If the Yellow Pages still existed? You could slip a Bellaire yellow pages under his jump shot. Nothing more.

    Come on guys, yes Boogie is washed but can still be a solid contributor somewhere. Not sure I really believe he is looking for more PT but maybe a better fit/role on a team that doesn't switch everything? The dude played in a couple of back to backs and even performed well in some of those games. His rebounding will be sorely missed but hopefully we don't abandon the center position and see if Patton can develop into a solid backup center.

    weird time to complain too. Wood isn’t close to coming back. Seems like he just wanted to go to a good team and Tim is leaking this for Tilman.

    Boogie didn’t like being woods backup. Trouble in paradise. But Johnny wall told us everyone wanted to be here.

    This isn't Eldrick.

    Not sure if the PT thing was before or after the contract guarantee. I would guess that it was at the beginning of the season. They are talking about Silas not wanting to play him and Wood together. So that's before Wood's injury.

    My theory is that Boogie was not happy from early on, with Harden's "betrayal" and with the lack of PT. So the Rockets wanted to move him all along. The contract was just a nice solid for him not complaining in the public. It's likely a mutual parting.

    It sounds perfectly right to me, Cousins showed his true selfish ass as always and why would the Rockets want him?

    He is washed and would be gone anyway next year.

    Found it...

    I think he was frustrated by not finishing games

    Shams = Rockets ‘good cop’
    MacMahon = Rockets ‘bad cop’

    SC: “Sources have expressed positive feedback about Cousins’ professionalism and play during his time in Houston.”

    TM: “Sources said Cousins was not happy with his role as a backup center behind Christian Wood, wanting more playing time.”


    As the Harden fans would say, Tilman leaked this to Tim to make Cousins look bad. :D

    I think getting Oladipo & C-Wood back would make a world of difference.

    But yeah, time is ticking.

    Oladipo has about 10 games to up his trade value enough where the team doesn't lose him for nothing.

    There is no scenario where the Rockets should retain him after this season.
