    He's out for the season...something to think about for next year. If he's healthy, Pat/Marshall/Prigioni could be solid

    Kendrick Perkins and McGee obviously put the void in center spot but I'm hoping better prospects such as deron Williams gets waived.

    In addition to NBA buyout guys, I wonder if there are guys returning from China or Europe that the Rockets can look into. One name that was mentioned was former NBA PG Bobby Brown, who has done well overseas. Could he be an Aaron Brooks type?

    After all, the Rockets did bring in Pat Beverley from Russia a couple season ago.

    Are they finally gonna release Richard Dorsey? :p

    Took Adrien's spot
    Took Black's spot
    Rockets still have a full roster so they must waive someone if they want to add someone.

    I'd take Perkins. He's from Beaumont and he knows harden well. Def wouldn't mind the defense while dwight is out.

    We need a backup center. What is up with the Perk situation? Probably the best we can get at this point.

    Mchale didn't seem too enthused about the idea of signing any of the buyout candidates.

    Kenyon Martin, McGee and Perkins are obviously needed for there size. I would say sanders but he's all into his pot right now and keeps getting suspended. Prince and Gary Neal wouldn't be bad add ons.

    Haha, all I see we can dump is nick Johnson, capela or Dorsey. And capela and Johnson could show future promise. I guess we could dump pap to considering he's shot poorly since being here.

    Wex seems to think Randy Foye is a possibility:
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/HTwnBigDobbs">@HTwnBigDobbs</a> could be waiting for a buyout, maybe Randy Foye. KJ McDaniels can play, defend; can't shoot, but like u said he's no help at G</p>&mdash; Adam Wexler (@awexler) <a href="https://twitter.com/awexler/status/568531220281233411">February 19, 2015</a></blockquote>
