    I don't think that is a bad idea. Telfair is a solid player. In the event that we need a 3rd PG we wouldn't have to hunt for on in the D-League.

    After what happened last season when Lowry went down, it's something we should consider. Not sure if Telfair would accept the 3rd PG spot, be there are others out there and we can't affort to resort to the D-league again.

    Good thread. He would be an excellent 3rd string PG...

    Telfair? Why not Delonte West instead? They already waived him.

    They trade their backup PG Sessions and Flynn is having surgery, Rubio may never come to MN and Kahn wants to trade or buyout Telfair. Doesn't make sense, Kahn has to be the worst GM in the league.

    Sebastian Telfair? Come on, I mean seriously I didn't even notice when he got to Cleveland. And Minny is considering to waive him, how on earth is he a solid player?

    I don't see us cutting a player (trade asset) in order to sign a player we likely won't need when we're already in lux tax land.

    If the Rockets have any plans of using Lowry and Brooks together on the court at the same time this season, then they really should explore the option of picking up a 3rd PG. The Rockets just simply cannot have another situation like last year when Lowry went down.

    Must've seen that he was over hyped and undersized. I say we don't sign him.. last thing we need is another undersized PG.

    No way you can be the worst GM by making these small bad moves.

    it's like we signed Francis and Barry, then waived them after one year.

    It's much better than we signed Sromile then we dumped him for Battier at the cost of pick #7.

    Daryl Morey has made several statements on the record over the last few weeks indicating he would like to add another point guard to the roster. If either Brooks or Lowry go down, then the Rockets only have one PG who can play.

    Truth is, the Rockets do not need eight players at the C/PF position, especially since some of these players can move back and forth between the two spots.

    C: Yao,Miller,Hayes,Andersen
    PF: Scola,Hill,Patterson,Jeffries

    It does not make any sense to carry four players at each of these two positions while only carrying two PG's. One of these players should be cut and a third PG added.

    If the Rockets are interested in Sebastian Telfair, he should be told that he will be given the chance to beat out Brooks or Lowry, if he can do it. However, since both of these players are solid contributors who are well versed in the team's offensive and defensive schemes, he also needs to be told that this effort will be an uphill battle. If Sebastian Telfair can demonstrate that he should be the starting PG for the Rockets, then why not let him be the starting PG? That is if he can, of course.
