    Would this guy be a good pickup for us? I think so. He can rebound and bring energy. We might be able to get him for nothing as well. What do you guys think?

    I’m for it. One thing you don’t be have to worry about if effort and motor from him. We’re slower than all the teams we play. We need some energy and activity.

    Well, you really can't play him and Omar Asik on the floor at the same time but he would be good to pair with D-Mo, and he gives us some things Pat Patterson just doesn't have.

    Sure, as a tryout. But he's still 6'8. We could really use some length inside to grab rebounds. We need a Capela backup (6'10+)

    Unfortunately, Faried just isn't good. Sure, he has a great motor and can rebound the ball, but he's a poor defender and would also be a liability on the offense.

    I am disliking the mentality of picking up either scrubs or washed players of the past.

    We should get more trendy players!

    before you start a thread asking about getting a random player, ask yourself, who are we gonna replace him with?

    I think we should be patient and wait until they buy him out.

    And THEN don't sign him.

    You're crazy.

    The Manimal is true to his name, he is like a beast no skills all instinct and athleticism. Sure he can rebound the ball but he can't defend and he can't shoot lol. Maybe we can use him instead of Hartenstein if he is ok with that and vet min sure why not.

    He sat next to me at a club in Houston during his rookie year. Looked all shy to be there. But had a nice girl with him.

    10 minutes later the Texans players come in with the letterman jackets on. Watt was even there. Posted up on the wall by himself.

    Cool story bruh.
