    Are we even looking at him?

    I mean he has cleared waivers...he would be better than Landale and would be great for Alpi to play against in practice.

    I'd rather have a guy that's at least on CC's level.

    We definitely need an Alpi-killer on the roster so when he is against one he wouldnt need the whole half to figure it out. Any Anti-Alpi is fine.

    The FO is very happy to pay $20M+ to Jeff+Landale+Boban trio.

    Fans want Biyombo, FO does not.

    I would prefer him to Landale, but it's odd that he cannot stick on an NBA roster. He was very good on defense against Alpi.

    He’s grown into a serviceable defensive big. He’s played well against us. As DD said, he’s much better than Landale. And we don’t have to give up assets to get him.

    Dumbass Witus hasn't thought about him for lack of 3 point shooting.

    We should get Biyombo and Kai Jones. Could be the return of the twin towers. Call it the Kaibo frontline. They're both available. In case the Rockets are interested, I'm also available. So is Dave Feitl. Git'r dun moree.

    Sorry ass scrub. Yeah he’s just as big of a scrub as Landale. Throwing random claims like he’s flat out better isn’t true at all

    It's a no-brainer. I don't even want to think of the possibility that the Rockets are not interested in him. Maybe he wants to play for a contender for a vet minimum, and that's why he's still not a Rocket.

    That's the only logical explanation i can come up with tbh.

    The logical explanation is that he just sucks. That’s reality. Mental hoops isn’t necessary here

    As bad as he is, he's still a better center than Boban and Jock combined. So, it's a no-brainer.

    Not really. That’s why he’s unemployed. He brings next to nothing to the table. Terrible stone hands. 0 offensive capability outside of a gimme dunk. Slow and old now so his defense fell off the earth.
    Dumb iq. Just a scrub now

    if it was a no brainer he would have been scooped up by anyone. Folks really just make up whatever they can

    There's no team in the NBA needs a backup center as desperate as the Rockets.

    There’s plenty. Even the team that cut him needs bigs. But he’s so sorry they got rid of him.

    My understanding is that he was let go so Xavier Tillman (6'8") aka X, a younger player could be given the minutes. Xavier was extended over the summer and is back from injury.

    Kelvin Cato is available. I do agree that anyone is probably better than Landale
