    All kidding aside, he can't be worse than our D-League team on the bench right now.....is he?

    evan turner would be a great pickup. say what you will about his second half performance with the Pacers, but you could do a LOT worse for a playmaker off the bench for 20ish minutes.

    Every time he steps on a basketball court, things don't go his way.

    would be nice to have him jhere, but he isn tgonna accept a cheap ass morey contract. he might settle for 3-4m 2 year. clearly he's a lot better then what he showed in indiana.

    so damn true, I have never seen a more perfect example of terrible body language than his stint with the Pacers. Pathetic

    No he is not. Everyone bought in because he put up decent stats on a garbage ass team on the Sixers. Couldn't bring it when he got traded to the Pacers. Knew it from day one. Evan Turner sucks!

    forgot that he wasnt a consistent 3pt threat last season. n/m. if ur a backup perimeter player for rockets you have to shoot the 3, with little exception. turner's scoring is gont good enough to make up for that.

    Yes I would take a flyer on him. We need more wing players and bench players. As of now, we have no depth except NBDL players.

    nah he tried to get into it with Harden when he went super saiyan against the Pacers...screw that guy!

    He's trash too & even fought his own teammate...even though it is Lance "THA 8TH GRADER" Stephenson.

    I would prefer Jameer Nelson. I think he's a good cheap fit for HOuston. NOt a big fan of Turner.

    Our biggest holes are at the backup SF and C spot

    Heres who's avaliable that I like

    Marion
    Aminu
    Johnsons
    Turner
    Allen


    Okafor
    Mullens
    Ayon
    O'Neal
    Blatche
    Udoh

    Would be happy if we signed one C and SF out of those list.

    kid doesn't want to be a bench player, he wants to be a starter. why else did he have such a bad attitude when he was traded?

    Marion with the Full MLE and Okafor or O'Neal with the BAE. Would make our overall roster better than last year's IMO, with a trade exception and young talent to make a trade if Morey finds one he likes.
