    I would like to add a guy that's playing. Chris Alexander, Lelani mccoy would work. I like reuben patterson more than harris.

    He's similar to a taller form of Scola.

    He looks so skinny. Is he strong enough against big mans in the western conference?

    If he can play any D, we will find out soon... when he's standing between Amare and Shaq. :)

    I don't see him making any difference but you gotta admire the fact that Morey is trying very hard to fix a hole on this team. He is a true winner of a GM. If healthy(easy to say, hard to do), next year is gonna be the year I believe.

    he'll never be able to pull those post moves in the NBA, but I was impressed by those 2 perfect dimes he dropped on the backdoor cut.

    fits right in with Adelmans scheme.

    Jelani McCoy doesnt miss very many shots, looking at his stats he shoots a high percentage. I was looking for one of his highlight videos but couldnt find any.

    I like him because he's intense, catches the ball pretty good and finishes at the rim with dunks. he's 6'11 but has some mobility to play some of those 4 types. I thought he would stick with seattle,but oh well. I would also bring reuben patterson into the mix. He very competitive, attacks and finishes at the rim and tough. He can back up tracy and shane to give this team some size at the 2/3 spot. He's had some issues, but he's a productive player

    Well, maybe they beat him up good in Turkey and he is coming back with a chip on his shoulder to make a club for good.

    He look so ... uh ... dainty. I don't see any comparison to Scola.

    ... but he is tall.

    After questioning Morey on Landry, Brooks and Jackson, I'll just assume he sees something, and see how it unfolds.

    lol

    ... maybe he'll score 18 points in 18 minutes and instantly "get" defense ... who knows.

    But, it sure does seem we could get someone better.

    OOPs, said I'd trust More(y).

    :)

    [FOX 26] Agent Levien said, "I think it's a unique opportunity for Loren..."

    http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/p...n=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=6.1.1

    HOUSTON -- Agent Jason Levien told FOX 26 Sports Friday his client, free agent center Loren Woods, a seven footer, has signed a 10-day contract with the Houston Rockets.

    "Loren met with the Rockets Friday and signed the contract," Levien said. "I think it's a unique opportunity for Loren to join such a strong team this late in the season and to have an opportunity to contribute."

    ...apparently available for tonight's game...
