    We should sign this guy to 10 day contract and see what happens. Gots great stats in the NBDL and I know Jason Collier and Terrence Morris got good stats too, but this is low risk high reward signing. Look at Ronald Dupree from NBDL, he had 17 points in his debut earlier this week with the Bulls.

    If we're going to sign anyone to a 10-day contract, I'd like it to be a PG (who's played in the league before). While we could use improvement at forward, I'd rather see what Weatherspoon can do rather than sign another undersized PF.

    bro, Jeff Van Gundy is pretty much going with a 8 man rotation right now. 9 man rotation at times when Padgett comes in if one of the big guys are in foul trouble. In the Rockets championship run Rudy went with a 8 to 9 man rotation and thats usually how the rest of the coaches work it. So I mean who do you want this guy to replace because somebody is gonna have to sit if we pick up this guy. Jim Jackson? Pike? dont forget we have another foward who Les is paying and waiting to recover in Adrian Griffin. What guy out of the 8 man rotation is gonna have to call it quits so this cba'r can get a shot. see what im getting at. its not gonna happen.

    FWIW, Terence Morris and Jason Collier are both putting up impressive NBDL numbers. Both are former Houston castaways...:D

    really whats their numbers? dont go look up or anything but if you can give them off the top of your head or something that'd be cool. I bet Collier is dunking on dudes head like Yao dunks on dudes heads in the china league.

    Collier is averaging 16.5 ppg, good for 4th in the league. Tierre Brown is right behind him at 16.1 ppg. Just goes to show you just how piss poor the competition is in that league.

    even if we signed him none of us would be able to evaluate his performance because he would never crack JVG's 8 man rotation
