    Well, I certainly don't wish ill will on him like I said. He deserves credit for turning his life around. I just don't think he can help the team.

    The fact that he is willing to go to the Gleague speaks volumes.

    If Javale McGee can find a 2nd life this guy can to.

    Proven role contributor on good/bad teams and won at the highest level = McGhee

    Loser contributor/scrub that even got a chance on GS and good teams like Dallas and sucked = WCS

    0 correlation

    Without a doubt, I'd rather have Boban. And it sure looks like plenty of NBA teams would too, when he always has a home in the league

    He'll help with filling out the roster with actual NBA level froncourt measurements... That's about it...

    He's been terrible in the G league all season, let's give him Sengun's minutes.

    Because Silas truly believes a lob threat will fix all the other problems in our offense and an athletic shot blocker (or at least someone who theoretically fits that mold) will fix all our defensive woes.

    Sengun, Garuba, Kaminsky, Boban, and now WCS. Maybe we can see all 5 of them in one game. This is truly galaxy brain stuff.

    Pretty sure this is a gesture of goodwill to WCS for rewarding his performance in RGV. Otherwise it makes no sense.

    Joking aside, they had to fill a roster spot.

    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/willie-cauley-stein-to-sign-10-day-deal-with-rockets.html
    “The Rockets have been carrying just 13 players with standard contracts since waiving Justin Holiday on February 13. They were required by league rules to fill at least one of their roster openings by today.”

    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/roster-moves-required-soon-for-knicks-hornets-rockets-jazz.html
    “The NBA’s rules require teams to carry a minimum of 14 players on their standard 15-man roster (not counting two-way contracts). However, teams are permitted to dip below 14 players for up to two weeks at a time.”

    “The Rockets made a series of cuts after the trade deadline passed, waiving John Wall and buying out Danny Green and Justin Holiday. They did sign Boban Marjanovic during that time as well, so they only have two openings on their roster, rather than three. But they’ll have to add a 14th man by February 27, two weeks after Holiday was officially cut.”

    “Again, the Rockets could choose to promote a two-way player, but Darius Days or Trevor Hudgins have barely played at the NBA level this season, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Houston opt for a free agent or a G League call-up instead.”
