    So wither Lowry is traded or dragic is not resigned. I haven't heard that llul was coming over thus season. Who is our backup pg? I really don't want have to hear about Lin all next season again.

    Well we currently have Livingtson on the team and I read on twitter that the Rockets are one of the teams talking to Iona PG Machado.

    Probably just to be a training camp body. Livingston seems to be our only option, unless there is a undrafted rookie out there that everyone missed on or in the eventual trades we have to clear out contracts, we get a decent backup in return for Lowry like in the last few PG trades.

    Worst comes to worst, they were talking about moving Parsons to PG last season.

    Should be a good battle in training camp.

    Fortson, Livingston, maybe boykins, and probably some other summer league pick up

    Dragic will be our starting PG.

    Hey, where is Ish Smith these days? He's a good one.

    If he's wise he will seriously consider coming to Houston.

    No matter what the front office says, only one guy (either Dragic or Lowry) will be on the team. Whomever is the starter will draw heavy minutes.

    Any backups at PG probably won't play that many minutes each game IMO.

    Looks to me like a good opportunity for this guy...

    I'm starting to doubt Llul will ever make it over here.

    For the next 2 hrs 19 mins, a member of the Orlando Magic at .5mil per year. I was curious that they didn't go after a PG in the draft as they have seemed very uneasy with Duhon as the backup to Nelson and with Nelson not signing his PO, things should be interesting. Although they probably have a lot more interest in the front court these days.

    He sure seems like he's out of town for us (the Cats). And I think he's got a lot of family/friends in the Houston area so you got that going for you. He's a great kid with a ton of heart and plays absolutely all out. I think things have just soured here in CLT w/ the putrid season last year and he was run through the wringer under Larry Brown initially as well. I think it would be great if he could get a fresh start but honestly, for him, I'd wish it was w/ a contender and not sure the Rockets fit that description.

    He's been made a 4.4 mil QO so does he come to the Rox as a backup to Dragic/Lowry OR do you want to have the same problem you have w/ your two PGs.

    Teague at 18 would have simplified things for us, without reaching.
