    ("It's good to always have more players than less," Budinger said. "If one player is having a bad game, Coach can put another guy right in...)

    haha it would be good if Chase actually believed this statement then he would have been yanked numerous times earlier in the season, yet he was not.

    Say we don't get Carmelo. What else can we get with our so-called "assets"?

    Its like I give you a 10000 potatoes, you either do something with it or they are going to rot and you get nothing for it.

    Insider information or just a hunch? I wonder if this will be before Jan. 30th or will the team not use the Yao exemption granted by the league?

    Again, you give a tinkerer too many toys and they will tinker.....

    Rick needs to settle on a set rotation, and that means he has to be strong enough to sit some people that would otherwise be playing.

    I think he would like to but there is such a wild variation in the effectiveness of our main rotation players from game to game. Other than maybe Lowry, most of the guys play one side of the ball and depending on matchups or how well they're shooting they could go from helping the team to hurting the team.

    Nothing will change until a move is made.

    Yes... and one of those players he needs to throw to the end of the bench is Brad Miller. I like what he brings, but he hasnt played in the last 6 games and we're 4-2 with losses coming to OKC and NO.

    While still young, i like the PatPat-J.Hill combination off the bench. Both are long, athletic, and can play above the rim. They can move much quicker laterally to defend the pick n roll and defend down low in the paint, and grab rebounds - all things that Brad Miller cannot do.

    Give them playing time to grow or show case them to make a big splash of a trade...

    Brad Miller is the Luke Walton of the Houston Rockets. Can pass a little bit, and every time he tries to go high off the glass the ball instead comes low off the shotclock...lmao!

    Some young talent that might actually stay with the team.

    Yes your potatoes can rot, but you don't simply dump them in the trash while they are fresh because of this route.
