    I think Pig was signed because the rockets will CUT griffin. I said griffin wasnt going to practice anymore ever with us,then moments later we sign Pig. Coincidence?

    Er, well, yeah. :cool:

    We were going to sign Pigster anyway, until he tore his hamstring, right? At least he gets a shot now, albeit under the frikkin' dumbest circumstances I can think of.

    Hopefully its not for 1yr at $2M, but a 10 day contract or something small.

    do you really have to be an insider to figure that one out? the rockets sign pig miller every 2 years or so; it's like predicting the sun will come up.

    I hope the "PIG" is fit but I don't want to see him get more than a 10 day contract for now.

    The Yao-Cato inside Combo works great for me. With MoT and Amaechi as immediate backups we may not have much use for Pig and EddieG.

    Have you ever seen a pig !! No I'm serious.. Hopefully we will give him a 6 yr 60 million dollar contract... Sounds like something we would do.. Pig Miller is exactly that, A PIG !!!!!!!
