Rockets have signed Jeff Adrien

Yeah you would actually have to understand basketball to truly understand what your saying... I agree.

 

No we didn't draft Adrien. He went undrafted in the 2009 draft.

 

Totally on board with this. This team needs a little more grit to tack on the offensive talent we have.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing a better defensive team this season.

 

Oh lionel Hollins been perfect for this team... JVG is definitely not going to come being an assistant coach.

 

How about just a consultant, preseason and on practice days when they are both in town?

 

This pick up is really starting to warm up to me. After doing some reading and watching of Adrien of this past season I think he's a great fit off the bench. Just a hard nosed hustle player something we lack

 

This is funny how we kept Adrien to cut Lin the first time and now ......

DD

 

From what i've seen the Bucks fans are really sad to see him go. That's a good sign.

 

if lin goes linsanity in LA....lol

 

Morey is building a bench not unlike a hockey team's. Send out Dorsey, Adrien, Beverley, and FA signees Mike Harris and Ron Artest to start against Miami and Dallas.

 

I'm actually fine with this signing. Joey Dorsey will probably be cut before the season starts though haha.

 

I wouldn't count on that, his contract is fully guaranteed for both years.

 

Agree, I think this one will be a keeper - not a camp cut. Look at his game log from Milwaukee, when he gets minutes he produces. Very solid pickup. I am totally cool letting him and DMo fight for minutes. I suspect DMo will be the odd man out on that end.

(of course, either TJ or DMo are trade fodder with this signing...)

 

To piggyback... When Adrien got starters minutes in Milwaukee last April, his stats looked like this:

Min 35.1 FG% .516 . 3pt% 000 2.0-4.0 FT% .500 RPG 10.0 APG 1.5 BLK 1.0 STL 0.6 PF 2.6 TO 1.8 PPG 14.3

That is not bad at all given those minutes. Small sample size to be sure, but it looks like he has the potential to be a completely serviceable backup 4 at the least. And at a fantastic price.

 

That Jeff Adrian vs Trevor Booker comparison just goes to show you how bad a player Trevor Booker really is.

 

Jeff put up the same numbers coming off the bench that Booker is starting lmao.

 

Forgot about that! Yeah, it's a trip. I hope Adrien strengthens our bench, because that's why we signed him. ;-)-

 

Has Ron Artest retired yet?

 

TJ and DMO better bring it this year because I do believe tough guys like Adrien and Dorsey will show them the meaning of boxing out, getting rebounds, block shots and just overall team defense.
