Rockets to Cut Player ESPN Read we will cut one more player before we have Asik sign his offer sheet. Who do you think it will be??
Typical ESPN recycling: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Per NBA source: Rockets signing of Bulls RFA Center Omer Asik to an offer sheet will be delayed a bit while the Rockets waive two players.</p>— Mark Berman (@MarkBermanFox26) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkBermanFox26/status/225452997331779586" data-datetime="2012-07-18T04:52:37+00:00">July 18, 2012</a></blockquote> <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I heard a rumor he was stashed by the Rockets to develop in the Australian league last year. Possibly why that Rockets scout, who had connections there, was suspended for a year.
Greg Smith and probably Fortson. Fortson is a very big net negative whenever he is on the floor. I am sure he is a nice guy, but he should be gonzo.
Fortson's hair annoys the hell out of me. He should cut it, maybe will increase his mobility and decrease turnovers/stupid plays
After the Jordan Hill fiasco and now Cortney Fortson, can we just institute a rule regarding manlocks? It hardly applies to anyone, but I am totally ok never ever going after a Ronny Turiaf or Anderson Varejao ever again.
I kind of feel bad for some of the guys in the summer league.. Guys like Fortson and Simpson are just not going to have success in the NBA. Watching these guys struggle so hard in the summer league is like watching that hilarious fat guy on wipeout get amped up for those giant red balls only to eat his **** 10 seconds later Good luck in the Eastern Euro / Aussie leagues fellas!
Greg Smith is not going to be waived, he's the only center on the team. PG (Livingston, Douglas or Fortson) Simpson or one of those Knicks scrubs we acquired.
Team options on Livingston, Leuer, Smith. Fortson and Simpson probably non-guaranteed. Not sure exactly how much we need to cut to clear the space needed for Asik.
