    Hot rumor from here in Las Vegas the Rockets are about to sign a guard from Puerto Rico. Anyone know who this could be if true?

    Maybe that short guard who shoots a lot of threes. What was his name?

    It could those rumors about them signing PJ Ramos.

    I think Arroyo plays for Olimpiakos or some other team. He'd be kind of old for Morey to consider signing him. Although he had been ballin out of his mind in the FIBA americas games.

    1) to my knowledge, there is no limit to how may players you bring in for training camp, they call most of them "camp fodder"

    2) just because someone claims to have heard a RUMOR, doesnt mean it is true.

    There not scrubs, there prospects we bring into traning camp to see if they can be another diamond in the rough. Carlos Arroyols is actually a solid PG, I thought the Bulls were going to sign him.

    Really guys, Carlos Arroyo? There was some Puerto Rican guy on a SL team a few years ago I think. Perhaps they're inviting him to training camp. Or maybe it was a guy from Uruguay...

    Gustavo Barrera.

    He was actually pretty good, I thought Morey would have invited him to camp last year.

    I doubt any acquisition from this point forward will be guaranteed. Anyone they add will be fighting for a single roster spot with White, Mesah-Bonsu, Temple, and Conroy. Anyone added now, unless through trade, will most likely not be on the team.

    Stop getting so excited!

    non guaranteed minimum contracts = training camp invite.

    the rockets could invite every free agent on the market if they wanted to. no real news until we start hearing who is impressing the coaching staff.

    Isn't Arroyo basically Spanish for Brooks?

    Exactly right except that Arroyo is singular and Brooks is plural. Good linguistic observation.
