    He's been working on becoming a locker room leader for like 3-4 years now. Maybe 5th year is the charm and he can lead all of our forwards to victory! :)

    Would take a chance on him. Low risk high reward. Big body that won't get manhandled.

    There's no risk for a minimum salary guy.

    Besides if we're gonna tank, Blatche is the perfect guy to bring in here, give him major minutes, let him throw up some gaudy, empty numbers, and then trade him at the deadline to a contender for a draft pick.

    Yes, there are players working out in Houston. No, that doesn't necessarily mean Houston is interested.

    He's immature, he plays a redundant spot, and has no trade value. If anything he's likely to cause problems.

    Morey should be fired right away if he only allows him to enter Rockets' facility

    It doesnt say Houston brought him in for a workout, so don't assume...probably playing in some pro-league or just random pick up games..

    Jason Friedman just tweeted me that it was a Wolves workout that included Hassan Whiteside and Andray Blatche. But he stated he would play for the min. so why not have him play at the backup 5

    There's a reason why the Wizards paid the remaining $23 million to Blatche to go away. He would be fine on a team like the Spurs or the Heat where Coach Pop and Lebron and Co. could keep him in check. And then maybe, he'd learn to mature and grow up.

    But with such a young Rockets team, Blatche would feel he can waltz in here and go back to his old ways. I can't see him transforming into the perfect role model over the course of the summer and even if he has acted as such, he won't be able to sustain it over the course of a season...unless you have someone like coach Pop or Lebron constantly screaming at him.

    For the Rocket, Blatche would completely disrupt the team chemistry and hinder the development of our promising rookies. A big part of team success that people often forget are the intangibles such as strong work ethic, leadership, and playing hard and playing together to win games. It's not just the talent. Again, there's a reason why Blatche was paid $23 million to go away.

    Include where Bynum is asking for the ball when the game is over or when shoots threes.

    The Artest brawl

    McGee include those..... Nuff said.

    Zack Randolph and Javale McGee were worse headcases than Andray Blathce

    Morey needs to sign him
