    Can we stop affiliating the Rockets with scrubs please? If Speights doesn’t look like he ate Big Baby Davis I’d be shocked.

    What’s next? A thread about signing Amare Stoudemire or Boris Diaw?

    The only reason I would entertain any of the 'moldy oldies' is just bc there's a chance that MDA would actually play them...
    I'd love to get some young talent... but A) will that get developed and B) will they be given the opportunity to contribute?
    We have very limited funds and assets... so getting an established guy in his prime is shaky...
    Outside of House (who fell into injury minutes and then got cemented to the bench when he hit a rough patch) what youngster would MDA actually 'trust' with his precious efficiency stats? Trez got cemented to MDAs bench even after Nene went down - and Harden was expected to cover the likes of LMA and Pau...
    I know I rag on MDA alot... but seriously... what % of the players are worthless to us bc MDA wouldnt play them? 20%? 25%?

    ...smh...

    good point...that’s 1 of MDA’s weaknesses...he only trusts his established vets, and will ride or die with a small group

    still, I can’t get down with these washed scrubs...they’re pretty much useless

    What's next? Shaq has been working on his 3 ball. Bird has discussed a bionic back replacement so he could shoot 3s in the Rockets line-up. Maybe its because I'm in the process of moving, but I'm over waiting for news from the Rockets.

    If it happens. it happens.

    Never been a fan of Mo Speights, just don't see him as a difference maker or even minor contributor for us especially at this stage of his career.
