    If you ever mess around with RealGM TradeChecker you'll notice this guy Kyle Hill attached to our roster.

    I remember when the Rockets drafted him 4-5 years ago-- a PG from some small school in the midwest. is he playing somewhere professionally? is that why we still retain his rights?

    Am I the first one to ever inquire about whether or not he might help us?

    :D

    Forgot to add my message :p

    So he's been playing in Europe his entire career. He's almost 30 now and I doubt he'll ever make his NBA debut. If he were, he probably wouldn't be able to help a contender like us.

    Ugh, looking through that draft again...R.I.P Eddie, but what a fail draft.

    Tony Parker, Dalembert, Okur, G-Force and Agent Zero, Haywood, Z-Bo and Tory Murphy...and that's only counting the people after RJ. Can't help but feel like this team would be so much more complete if it weren't for this utter disaster.

    We didn't draft him.

    We got him in the Glen Rice trade that sent Shandon Anderson to NY. That year we drafted Collier and Air Langhi.

    Langhi was a solid pick. It's unfortunate Rudy didn't let him play. JVG could have turned him into a solid defender and spot up jumpshooter.

    Why so he can go back to falling asleep on the bench.

    Nope, so that he can show people how to run a pick and roll and take a charge on the perimeter by actually staying IN FRONT of your man on defense.

    I remember JVG used to hate him so much. He never really let him play.

    proven pick and roll with luis, flopping,.. the rockets did enquire about pablo prigioni at the beginning of this season but he was under contract. unless he's signed a extension since then he'll be a free agent.

    If you go in through the TradeChecker tab, you'll see him listed... along with the long-ago drafted Venson Hamilton. That same year they also got a big guy from Georgia as I recall who floated on this roster for years but he's gone now...
