    Most if not all championship teams have 1 knucklehead but this guy might be a bit too much to handle.

    With that said his defensive intensity and ability to get under the opponents skin is highly intriguing. He might be just what the DR ordered.

    I'd take him for sure.

    He is only 23 and will only get better. He has very solid efficiency on an offensive anemic team, so there is no telling how good he would be in our system. Solid defender as well.

    I want him to be a Rockets. Our defense sucks right now with Asik gone already.

    Last time we had a knucklehead like Lance (Artest), we got past the first round. Just saying.

    For 9 or 10 million yes. I'd love to have him and Harden on the court at the same time. I guard rotation would be set with Bevs/Lance/Harden/Troy(or someone else)

    I know we need another big, but one of the Rockets biggest issues last season was perimeter defense and ball handling. Lance helps with both of those things. A lot. I'm sure McHale and Dwight will also be able to control him. Plus I would love to see him go at Durant and Westy with the same intensity as he did with Lebron.

    he'd have to come off the bench for it to work. he's too good for that. and we cant have a starting sf who starts but only gets 15-20mpg. we need more defensive players
