    More like Charlie Villavieja. Bargain bin signing. Only problem is he stinks.

    Don't know why... May find out tomorrow. Looked like a done deal. Rockets thought he'd fit in well here.

    How is he only 29?

    Until I looked at his profile page, I would have bet he was 35 or 36. He certainly has gone into decline as if he were in his late 30's.

    Surely we aren't that desperate, right?

    Huh. Well you've got to think something caused us to back out. Doubt it was money, as he can't demand much more than the minimum.

    He is a good fit for us. I think his last few years in Detroit aren't a good representation of what he could bring to the table.

    Y'all gotta remember he's pretty much only played for Milwaukee and Detroit his whole career. Not exactly the pinnacle of development and confidence, either of them. It's not like he never had a shot, it just went away. Low risk, high reward move it would seem, but I wonder what scared them off.
