    Guys, we're well equipped to make up for the players we lost:

    Backup PG: Isaiah Canaan

    Well. This is where I break down in tears.
    This is how far we have fallen.

    Seriously though, these players are not ready.

    Although Morey did pretty much admit to tanking next season anyway, so why not? Let's develop the rookies.

    Really? This is the NBA not Jr. Varsity. It's time to win now not in a few years when these guys finally get it.

    Fact is this is how you sustain success. You build players and surround your stars with them. I'm excited for these types of players to take the challenge and see what they can do. Every successful team has these roles players. I prefer this method over a big 3 or 4. Big TWO surrounded by great ROLE players is the way to go!!!!

    It use to be strickland, wesler, the barrys,... old washed up players on inexpensive contracts. Now it's d-league trash on cheap contracts. See a trend, we not going into lux tax

    I actually think that Covington is ready to make the jump or at least be given a consistent opportunity to determine whether or not he will be able to help this team. He tore it up in the DLeague last year, he has good size and a sweet stroke from 3. I could see him backing up Ariza.

    You put these guys around Howard and Harden, and unless one of them goes Linsanity on everybody, we're gonna have a mutiny on our hands.

    When was the last time McHale played rookies in their first year?

    KGarnett? Nope, he wasnt head coach there.

    I think the answer is never.

    He's a restricted free agent. Rockets will either sign him or match any offer to him.
