I'm guessing we'll cut Boykins. Christmas is a 6'5 SG from Temple. Had a short stint with the Sixers. Played in Greece this year. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Dionte-Christmas-1234/ If nothing else, another trade chip.
I remember him in college and thought he would stick around in the NBA. He can score, just needs to work on efficiency.
Took me a second because his name sounded familiar, but then I remembered -- I was told before the 2009 NBA Draft that three late sleepers the Rockets liked were Patrick Mills, Toney Douglas and Dionte Christmas (had to go back to my email to dig that up). That doesn't mean much, but just that I would guess the Rockets kept their eyes on him and his development since then.
Oh yeahh. Project blow up this team and have a bunch D Leaguers. As Clyde would say: I LIKE IT Hmm maybe morey is preparing to fill some roster spots, becuse we will trade/lose almost evryone on this team except a few so we can get that superstar we so desperately need. Morey is indeed the man
This signing will definitely put the Rockets into the (north) pole position to win the championship next year.
