    damn you are fast!

    I just heard this at 10:15 AM on the Mark Vandermeer Show.

    Jeremy Foster broke in saying "sources have told us that the Rockets have signed Charlie Ward and Bob Sura"

    I guess we are going to be doing point guard by committee.

    Splash!

    I like the PS by committee aspect. I guess they will trade Pike for Deke and call it an off season !

    too bad they couldn't get AD, but if the contracts are friendly, this could be nice

    Sura is a poor man's Brent Barry

    Ward is definitely PG but Sura can play 1 or 2 spot. Wonder who's starting where? My preference is:
    PG- Sura
    SG- JJ
    SF- T-Mac
    PF- Howard
    C- Ming

    Scrubbs? I guess CD meant it, when he stated he wanted to only sign players to short term contracts. Only old or questionable players are going to sign these type of deals.

    Ebony and Ivory . . .

    Hey, not bad signings. Seems like Sura can play the two as well; this might be setting up a trade involving Pike -- presumably for a big man.

    relax ... they are as good as anyone available (and if they are cheap and short-term, we now have some good depth)

    Why did they sign Ward?

    Signing Sura is good, but Ward is better than Lue for the backup? I don't think so. How do we deal with 3 point guards now? Trade Lue next?

    calm down as well lol

    I didn't say they were bad .... I said that hopefully one of our 3 point guards now will be the right fit for the team.

    for what was left on the market, to nab both wasn't a half bad signing at all

    we will see in the regular season if any of our pg's is the one we're looking for however :)

    and not guilty of any crime by having doubts even if I did.

    Both are capable ball handlers that can shoot the 3.....not a bad choice at all.

    It's most certain that one of these guys are gonna be traded for a backup C. Don't forget that Gaines can also play the one so there are 4 guards that can play that position. They will keep only three so which one is going to be trade fodder?
