    Alex Kennedy:*The Minnesota Timberwolves are watching free agent big man Hassan Whiteside*work out today in Houston.*Twitter

    So, are we working him out or is he just having an open workout? And if the rockets are set, will they b having a center by committee? I hear Asik is very foul prone...

    Asik is their traditional center and then they'll have their hybrids(see: all 50 forwards). I wouldn't hold my breath on them adding a center.

    Hassan needs to tan a lil bit on the white( )side before he can really help the rockets at center...

    Reading comprehension fail. Where does it say the Rockets are even involved in this workout?

    Lots of guys either live in Houston in the offseason or work with John Lucas in Houston.

    I know Varejao is available but his contract is for 8.4 million this yr and 9.1 million next with team option in the 3rd... you can trade Martin, Dallas Pick for Varejao and Gibson but Waiters was drafted in top 5 (reach).

    Lin / Douglas / Gibson
    Lamb / Delfino
    Parsons / White / Johnson
    Motiejunas / Jones
    Asik / Varejao

    Yeah it's pretty bad. No real reason to come into the GARM now.

    Harrelson would seem like an ideal backup C and had good chemistry with Lin. No idea why he was dropped so quickly. Definitely a better option than Whiteside.

    ahhh... just what i love... Rockets river getting mad at EACH other instead of just doing what we do... Talk about ROCKETS.

    I still don't understand bashing on these things. Arent legitimate questions acceptable as long as they 1)have a source or link, and 2) are not put in the wrong location?

    I personally love that i can hear other peoples thoughts on Rockets basketball.

    Sorry some see it another way.

    But i can tell you with the way people come on here and belittle and bash others, the fanbase here will deminish.

    This is what Toronto's 2013 lotto pick should be used for.
