    Marcus Camby must not be NBA-worthy anymore. Thanks for the memories, Greg. Good luck big fella.

    Couldn't we have signed a more athletic big man? Pittman looks fat, slow and doesn't really have the hops... Couldn't we have signed someone like Jerome Jordan?

    I'd say the odds are at least 50/50 Greg Smith returns to the Rockets.

    Should we be worried about Dwight's health?

    He does remind me of Glen Davis too.

    From the clips, I like Greg Smith more :-(

    Like it. We literally have no 3rd big man and need one.

    Based on his stats in DLeague, Pittman steadily improved his efficiency especially in blocking shots and hitting free throws. These are a couple weak spots for his career, so I expect he'd perform better than most of the lottery pick rookies right now(not that he has more upside in the future, but he seems to be in good condition after a few years of hard work).
