    I imagine it was between this guy and James. We probably told James we found a better player.

    Rebounding demon. Doesn't take many bad shots. Can't shoot but at least he knows it. Good defense. I don't mind having a guy like that buried deep on the bench.

    He should fit right in with the Rockets! The guy hasn't attempted/made any 3pt shots in his 49 games in the NBA.

    ANOTHER player to clog the lane an destroy spacing....

    I remember him from his college days. Led the nation in rebounds his junior year. Was 2nd in the nation his senior year.

    Oscar is a good character guy - glad the Rockets are giving him a chance :)

    Two way or standard? I’d be surprised if standard as I think it would push us into the luxury tax.

    He’s not a bad two way player, not good enough for the main roster, apart from being somewhat useful as a practice player.

    A 6'8 center is exactly what Bruce Thornton needs to be playing next to down in RGV.

    I was thinking the same thing. The Vipers might be a good team this year.
