    This guy Cam is built like a tank and says he likes to get physical. I'm excited by the defense prospects alone.

    Our summer league team has been ass.

    When I say "ass", I don't mean, "Let me head to Youtube 'ass'," but "60 year old spanked with a waffle iron so fat you can't clean it properly 'ass'".

    Just STANK. It's Reed Shepherd and a bunch of Nate Williams. Er, Williamses?

    Dear Rockets management,

    You've done a good job building the front end. But Can we please start signing guys to fill out the roster who can actually play? Guards specifically.

    Thanks

    I have a friend who is a big Mississippi State fan and he says we are gonna love this guy if he get's a chance to play. Can't shoot but can do everything else well apparently.

    I was excited to come into this thread to see your reaction of waiving Nate. I leave disappointed.

    Nate played himself off the roster in his first summer league game, that's how bad he was, but Cam Matthews looked just as bad in the last summer league game. I don't believe for even one second that there's not something better out there.

    Edit. Now I get it. Matthews isn't on an actual contract. They are holding out to sign a better veteran down the line. Matthews will almost certainly never play for this team.

    They aren't going to sign anyone, they are in Luxury tax land, anyone would cost them double.....why do that for a 14th man?

    I just don't think the Rockets will look at a 14th player as a difference maker - and won't spend the money.
