    That was quite hairless... I mean careless of you!
    You Rogained... I mean gained no advantage from your remarks.
    It was quite bald.... I mean bold of you to say such a thing.
    Homer Simpson would be ashamed.

    P.S. I attended a rival BEast school and have no love for Charlie V., but I do respect that he made it into the NBA for several years where many others have failed. Also, as his disease is non-life threatening and it hasn't stopped him from being successful in life, I feel comfortable joking about it on the internet.

    The Rockets don't have a vet/proven backup SF. That's Charlie V's preferred position. No one left in free agency tho'.

    I would of liked signing him. He was pretty good until his 2011-12 season.

    He's better than Gee and would bring + chemistry to a much shifted roster with Dorsey and the second unit. I don't necessarily want to bring up the "who else would you prefer that is available" argument because you'd probably dismiss it and my overall opinion, but it's most likely valid here weighing the available options.


    He seems like a huge character guy and a really hard worker over in Europe, too.

    Exactly. Maybe Dmo will, but it's a stretch 4 option that wouldn't leave us severely undersized or underweight.

    As long as he's committed to being in shape and sticking to his role, this is a good signing to give us some cover at the 4 behind Jones and DMo. If he beats them out, he beats them out.
