    Will Hickson play for free? I'm pretty sure that's what we're looking for.

    Why in the hell aren't we going after Lee?

    This **** is insane. This roster has the possibility and potential to turn this around. I guess I am in denial, because it is hard for me to process the reality of this sucking.

    Wow...this must stop...

    WHY IN THE F*****G HELL SHOULD WE SIGN LEE WHEN HE'S JUST A PILE OF S***T? HE CAN'T DENFEND, HE'S AN OLD WASHED UP PAINT DUDE WHO CAN'T EVEN JUMP, ABSOLUTELY USELESS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR...AND YOU'RE WHINING TO GET HIM...DO YOU ACTUALLY WATCH PLAYERS OR YOU'RE INSANE?

    It's like whine to sign Dorsey...no, even worse since Dorsey can at least jump an defend decently the post...well yeah, Lee shots free throws better :rolleyes:

    if you were Lee where would you rather sign?
    Dallas that has an amazing coach, is going to the playoffs and you can easilly recuperate your value to get another contract...or Houston where the chemistry on court seems godawful noone gives effort there is no good coach and it's barely in the playoffs?

    Yeah but that's because we don't want to pay them anything. Being cheap is the #1 motivator in the FO right now.

    Going to Dallas.

    No one wants to come to the Houston dumpster fire.

    I'd love Wroten who can play either guard position.

    And/or Novak + Chuck Hayes

    Possibly: David Lee

    Ideal situation: Bulls waive Aaron Brooks by playoff deadline, Rockets pick up for vet min

    I would definitely try to sign lee. He's not the best defensive 4 and that was always his knock but who plays defense on this team. He can be a leader that we need and the guy stayed proffesional about his roles.

    you can waive whenever you want but if the player wants to sign with a playoff team it must be by March 1st.

    You probably also haven't seen David Lee play this year.

    The only remotely positive thing that can be said about him is he's not TJones.

    We need to roll with what we have. The extra roster spots should be for a DLeague signing or the like, imo.

    Of course, as the team is just barely under the luxury tax, maybe they just leave those spots open... which is fine.

    How is everybody forgetting about Aquille Carr? Clearly the roster spot is his.

    Our weakest players are Ty, Brewer and Jones.
    I think we need a back up pg and decent wing the most.
    Who is available in terms of waive?
    Verajo is a guy you hate unless he is on your team.

    Whoever are the two youngest, available guys in the d-league shooting lights out from 3pt range.

    Here you go:

    Reggie Hearn and Erick Green.
