    What players? Who would you rather have Oscar or Mo (going on the assumption that Mo wouldn't have gotten injured since we signed him prior to the injury), you would take Mo because we needed an inside game. The Rockets signed Cato, maybe the deal was to long, but he gave us size and a center, something we needed. What about Oscar, a guard, something this team has in abundance, and he was replaced with Hawkins who is hitting big shots. How does this hurt this team compared to the other Rockets signings?

    Hawkins does everything that Oscar does, but he is taller and fits in better. People it's not like we just gave up a lottery pick, we gave up a back-up guard who was replaced by another back-up guard doing a great job. How is this going to hurt the team? And yes Hawkins took Oscar's job on the active roster, if you're upset that we kept Mickeal and Maddox then you're upset that we didn't keep Oscar on IR, and Oscar wants to play.

    torres has a jumper but his defense is suspect. hawkins is a garbage time player with clutch defense

    for a playoff run we need hawkins defense...but if we were in last year's state torres would fit right in.

    Torres is going to be good, but we need hawkins for important minutes during the strech to guard the kobes, finleys, and the odoms of the west
