Thinking about it... Would the Rockets spend the MLE on a backup C with the frontcourt depth they already have? As long as Yao, Scola, and Landry are healthy there's not going to be much playing time left over. In the NBA he's a C only as he's too slow to play PF. That'll further reduce his chances of playing time. Would he be happy going from star player to trying to displace Hayes for his minutes that won't come consistently?

I don't think our current frontcourt depth will deter Morey from finding a backup C. We did bring Mutumbo back in after all; he likely won't be back next year. And Dorsey has not panned out so far. The spurs failed to bring in Scola because they were worried about getting him enough playing time and look how that's turned out for them.

...will utilize his expiring contract at an appropriate time for an appropriate piece IMHO.

We can only hope. Typically, scrubs with contracts that large (as opposed to functional NBA veterans who are good for 10 mpg in a regular rotation role) aren't viewed as enticing trade chips, expiring or not.

Daniel Santiago and Boniface N'Dong aren't NBA players.

They can play defense effectively, rebound the ball, and offensively are better than a lot of players. You don't need to be a great offensive threat for being a NBA player.

BARCELONA - Arturas Karnisovas hasn't lost any detail yesterday from the match between Badalona DKV Joventut and Iurbentia Bilbao. In his travel book, of course, there appear, among others, the name Ricky Rubio. The player is certainly most desirable for the NBA in the foreseeable future. But Karnisovas, who acts from this season as the head of the Houston Rockets (global) scouting, does not ever say. The American League expressly prohibits their clubs to refer to a player who is eligible for the draft. It is a rule that is enforced strictly. Breaking it can mean a fine of up to $ 20,000.
Accompanied by the club's general manager, Daryl Morey, Karnisovas was not the only one in the stands of the Olympic. Danny Ferry, general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, was at his side. There were also representatives of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma Thunder. Twenty-four hours earlier, were also in the stands the Palau Blaugrana following the league match between FC Barcelona and Regal Unicaja.

...For some time, the ACB has become a center of pilgrimage for Americans scouts. "The prestige of the Spanish basketball team came out and reinforced the Games is only natural that Spain has become a byword for NBA, "says the former Barça, who yesterday concluded a 10 day trip to Europe that took him to Athens, Madrid and Barcelona...

...Names like Partizan's Milenko Tepic, Unicaja's Marcus Haislip, Barcelona's Fran Vazquez - their rights are held by Orlando - the player or team players, Mamadou Samb, among many others appear in an agenda that keeps on gaining weight in Europe.

What did happen to Lior Eliyahu?

There is not one thread about about him since the All-star game? Before that he seems to be getting quite a lot of attention.
