    Think we’ve found our Ryan Hollins replacement. ;)

    I love Boban but he is an ornament player, just someone to hang on the bench with ZERO impact....that spot would be better served by a veteran guard that can teach Jalen and KPJ how to be successful.

    A cerebral player, not just a wing like Gordon. No disrespect to him, he should be on a contender as of 2 years ago.

    What if some people in the Rockets organization need a new career?

    Do we appreciate Boban, even if we plan to resign him? Does he get a new welcome thread too?

    Dude has personality.

    What if he gets hit by a bus before he can re-sign? I think it’s best to go ahead and appreciate him. Maybe revive the old welcome thread if we re-sign him.
    What did we do for John Wall’s return?

    Boban is an international superstar and is going to hold out for a massive new deal -- Rockets choked this move.

    All you can do. But I mostly laugh at people thinking a team this young had a good chance at being competitive... with this coach too. Maybe next year they win 35.

    Yep, if we got both Wemby and scoot somehow and kept Silas, we wouldn’t win 35 games next year lol

    Boban waived and resigned the same day. Only guy who’s ever done that.

    I fondly remember those on Twitter telling me how valuable it would be to have Boban's personality. That his humor would help bind this team together and make them a better unit. I guess the knock-knock jokes didn't work. RIP.

    Edey and Boban. The Twin Towers are back. Add that #1 pick and we got triple towers. Jabari moves to shooting guard.

    I've never understood all the dismissive mirth over Boban. Just about every time he gets the ball down low, he dunks it. He seems more + than - in the few minutes he gets on the court. Never complains, encourages teammates from the bench, seems like a class act. I, for one, appreciate Boban, and hope he retires a Rocket.
