    So, a player who signs a contract with a team right now and gets waived is ineligible to join any other team, right?

    Morey must be paying Pittman and Powell even if the Rockets don't need them so that they can't be snatched up by Houston's rivals.

    He's a good rebounder too ... much tougher than D-Mo.

    Don't think he would be playoff eligible. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Stiemsma can´t play in playoffs.

    by CBA: Players waived after this date are ineligible for the playoffs (March 23 in 2011-12)

    I hope Josh gets some minutes to work out with the team vs. New Orleans. We seriously need help in the low post.

    Russell Crowe's body double has been nothing short of a disappointment lately, after so much potential coming into this season. He looks as stiff as the ark.

    Both Josh Powell and D-Mo looked good last night. I like Powell's range.

    He sucks. Almost as bad as DMo. We really need Dwight, Omer, Mandy TJones to play well and stay out of foul trouble.

    What do you expect as a backup? Serge Ibaka. I actually think D-Mo and Powell will work for us.

    Absolutely. Duncan has never known a force like Josh Powell.

    remember all those people who said Charles old man jones wouldn't do anything in 1993? yea well he shut down Barkley off the glass and played solid D. some players are well suited for 5-8 min a game.
