    All free agent centers and their suitors are just waiting for the dominos to fall starting with the biggest and best one -

    The Rockets Domino list must look like this-

    1. Dwight
    2. Nene
    3. Trade
    4. Amnestied Big
    5. Dalembert
    6. Fesenko
    7.Yao in a wheel chair

    Sometimes I wish we had never won a championship from the 6th seed. All this talk of Dalembert does to me is say, 'with Dalembert, we could get 6th seed'.

    It's cool though, I kicked myself and told me to be more respectful and positive.

    Go Rockets! We lub ya!

    Hmmmm..... Yao in a WHEEL CHAIR, you say? The Rockets might actually need to give this some thought.

    Convo looked like this:
    @KingsForum_net: Everything is quiet on Dalambert...any word who's after him, if anyone?
    Sam Amick : Houston, Denver, Sac still monitoring

    At this point, I'm okay with signing him to a fairly reasonable deal. My good god, this offseason has been depressing.

    He stinks as a scorer, is worthless if you try to toss him the ball in the low post. But he has size, can tread water defensively, block a couple shots, and is a good rebounder.

    Let's face it, Scola playing more than 20 mpg at center just doesn't work. Hill is poor. Thabeet was a foolish mistake.

    Let's just sign any 7 ft off the streets.. Come on dalembert is not worth the money or nene for that fact.. Let's give Thabeet a max contact ext cause he's a legit 7fter.. You people sound crazy! We got two youngsters who can play the C. The rox will be tone this 66 game season.

    Id try talking him into a large 1 year deal...with an option...and a large buyout for 2nd year.

    this way we can keep him if we have to or trade him this year or use him as expiring contract to save cap room for 2012...cant hurt to sign him...

    but only if Nene is gone or no good big is amenesited.

    Since it looks like more like we're going to see what the rookies and youngsters can give us this year we do not need Dalembert. If we're really, really, seriously going for the playoffs I like Dalembert over Hill, Thabeet or whoever you think can play center on our team.

    You got to sign someone and sign them quick!! Season is in 2 weeks and its 66 games. Not much time to mesh with team. Sign Dalembert bc next year options are going to be all resigned if we are looking at super stars. Only average players will be availiable and I'm afraid if we wait any longer its going to get worst.

    Seriously whats there to debate? Its down to NeNe and SammyD. We cant wait afford to try a plan A then plan B because we will miss out on both.

    Just sign Dalembert. He said he wants to come and play here.

    McHale keeps giving props to Hill. Has McHale said anything about Hill playing center? Has he been playing Center in camp? I know you guys are all nearly pro scouts, but what has McHale said about Hill playing center?
