    I think it's time to sign Troy Daniels. The rockets need a shooter and we could have him for cheap. He's already broken the D-League record for 3s midway through the season. And is shooting 40%. It'll look bad when another team picks him up right under our nose and he contributes immediately just like what happened with James Johnson.

    Daniels said he has been in contact with “10-15” NBA teams this season, and that it seems a call-up “is just a matter of time.”

    Convington put on a show today. He'll win the MVP today.

    Covington awarded MVP with a D-League All-Star game scoring record(33pts) and clutch baskets to lead his team to the victory, great game.

    Agreed 100%. If we don't make a roster spot with a trade we need to cut Brewer and sign him.

    Reason to believe Covington can accomplish more than Mike Harris did?

    Rockets organization did a good job of bringing T-Jones along, so I'll trust them to bring up Covington at the right time.

    True and his contract is perfect if he's able to be a backup for parsons, he leaves us with room to flexible in the future.

    2013-2014 $490,180
    2014-2015 $816,482 (team option)
    2015-2016 $947,276 (team option)

    Hopefully somebody will make a highlight reel of Covington today. Will rep for it.

    Actually, he's 6' 6.25" without shoes, but his standing reach is only one inch less than TJones at 8' 10".

    I could see Covington at some point getting some minutes at backup power forward when the opposing team has a small lineup. Maybe taking minutes from Casspi.

    I need to watch some of his D-League games to see what he can do on defense.

    His only job right away will be to be better than Garcia, not a hard thing to accomplish this season.
