    It's a toss up between Sigmund, dreamshake1, and ObamaFan. They will not be missed.

    Please for the love of god, let it be Fortson.

    I would rather have DD in the back court then Fortson.
    Hell I'd rather play 4 on 5 then have Fortson on the court.

    This man has no business playing basketball!!

    He's better off being a body double for Lil-Wayne.

    Additional trade chip that could have come in handy.

    It was a NON-GUARANTEED option. Same with Diamon Simpson.

    That non-guaranteed salary will come in handy for a Dwight Howard trade.

    However, one minimum non-guaranteed guy HAS to go now.

    Why would we have to waive someone? How much cap space do we have right now? I thought waiving Scola cleared like 9M off the cap. Would it mean to make the offer sheet official? Also Brockman I think is guaranteed, so no point waiving him since you save no money, same with Patterson, Forbes.

    Why cut just one? Cut all the dead weight on the roster, we've got too many scrubs as it is.

    Easily Simpson. Why he is even on the roster is beyond me.

    Just noticed on the summer league roster on nba.com we have Ish Smith back.. I know he was suppose to start the summer league with Orlando, wonder if that was a recent pickup and if he may play tonight.

    ...said the guy who has absolutely no clue how a Dwight Howard trade would be structured.

    Guys, we WANT these non-guaranteed "scrub" contracts on the books right now. They are key trade assets for a Dwight Howard package that allow the Rockets to take on more salary from Orlando.

    Please at least trust that Daryl Morey, Sam Hinkie, Gersson Rosas and the Rockets' front office at least know more than you (and I) do about which contract will and will not hurt them from a cap standpoint.

    That would be sad, because I read somewhere that he is a better player than Lin.
