    Sorry to have to bring this again, but there is NO WAY that we would be picking up this kind of talent with JVG still here. Otherwise it would be more Bowen like players.

    I don't think it's necessarily going to be money though, money and a bigger role.

    Also of course Von's going to go for the most money, can you blame him if he does?

    So, now we have a whoopin' 3 players that was once affiliated with the San Antonio Spurs. (Scola, Barry, White) If only we can get a few more - Parker, Duncan. :D

    Has anyone else used him in NBA 2k9? He is absolutely unstoppable. If you get within 5 feet of the basket he will dunk it over the entire team haha.

    Not a big committment and we don't have draft picks this year, the risk/reward is great. He can dunk and he has an outside shot, thats worth a minimum deal anytime.

    Congrats to Flight White, hopefully we can get some more blowout games to give him some time on the floor. And I'm gonna have to try him out in 2k9 now too lol, I already light em up with Wafer's 3's

    I think this is pretty accurate. Essentially James White is our 2009 draft pick since we don't own any picks.

    What can I say, In Morey I trust, Scola, Landry, Brooks, Wafer, and now Lowry. Why should i have any doubts?!

    shrewd move by Morey and co. a min contract for a guy who is on the rise and if it doesnt work out just a piece to let expire next year or combine with a trade for a team wanting to dump salary for the FA sweepstakes.


    also you figure that von will not be a rocket next year. i think the rockets will focus on re-signing ron and commit most of their available resources to him while Von will want long term security and money and if any team out there gives him either more money or a longer guaranteed deal I really cant blame wafer for taking it.

    From what I have seen of White, he has a good looking jumper and great leaping ability. Outside of that, he seems turnover prone and is not quick enough to be successful off the dribble.

    This is a low-risk, high-reward move. Great signing.

    Very savvy move. Low risk, high reward. It's only half a million dollars, if it doesn't work out, you could always waive him. They obviously see something in him and want him for next season. Good as a draft pick. Dare I say Wafer the second coming?
