    This is just subterfuge intended to make those we have who have underperformed feel there is heat from a subpar player, a notice to tell them if they have a higher opinion of themselves that they better show it on the floor.

    Right?

    Probably backed because of the Knicks and Kings trade...the Kings are supposedly going to release Jeremy Tyler and Wayne Ellington...wouldn't not be surprised if we went after them first....much younger and athletic.

    I think he would be an okay way to fill out the bench. I wonder why we pulled out though

    We pulled out because you would not want to reproduce with that bum.

    In a very limited role, on a minimum contract, he is a big man who can shoot. I'd take him

    Clearly this means the Rockets found a substantially better option than Charlie V.

    Warmly welcome to Houston, Kevin Love.

    Unless we were only going to pay him the vet's minimum, I don't understand why we would waste cap space on him.

    Charlie V backed out because he heard the siren call from LeBron, he didn't pass a physical, or for some reason he wanted more than the vet min and those exceptions are being reserved for Sessions/Allen/Emeka.

    Nba is going to make sure Lebron has 2 legit Allstars around him. Cleveland is going to the finals for sure the nba is the most predictable league...
