    Honeycutt's contract is 100k guaranteed next year. I just assumed Anderson will be fully unguaranteed for next season. Then again, Smith's deal will be 50% guar.

    With their wrangling for max cap space. These figures might matter, or it might not.

    I'd say a little of both. There were some guys that were def treating it like an exhibition, but definitely a decent amount of effort as well. What I liked about Ohlbrecht was that he just focused on playing his game, with put backs, running the court, etc. Glad were giving him an opportunity.

    lol Aldrich was a stiff... this guy is known for mobility and occasional 3 pointers

    More diversity! We're definitely one of the most diverse teams in the NBA.

    Well, they their last name do sound similar, and they're both white and about the same height. ;)

    Tim looks like he has a much more complete offensive game though

    No. Aldrich is white. Ohbrecht is not white. He is Euro.

    White center = big slow stiff who rebound and hustle. Euro center = skilled, good shooter who can be somewhat soft but has high BBall IQ.

    Nice

    I saw some video and went WOW then realized it was D league and he would not be doing that in the NBA. Bummer. :(

    The only stat I saw and liked was that he shoots FG 60.5%. He understands the concept of the ball going IN the basket.

    Is it just me or is our team getting very attractive? I mean that in the physical sense. Ohlbrecht ain't too bad looking.

    Then Ohlbrecht is kinda mixed one... learning to be tough
    skilled, solid shooter when needed, and tough enough in the post

    I'm glad to see the Rockets giving Ohlbrecht a shot, I've watched quite a few Vipers games this year, mostly to see DMo play, and he's a strong guy who puts out quite a bit of effort. He has fairly good hands and he teams with DMo pretty well (at least he did in the D league). I'm not expecting much from him, but I think he can contribute more than Aldrich which essentially means Rockets fans won't collectively scream at their TV's every time he steps on the floor.

    Wow, that's a very good translation, it's amazing how closely similar the German and English languages are in terms of grammar, meaning, and phrasing. :eek:
