    Christian Laettner was released by GS. Backup Center?

    Your thoughts?

    Just say no to Princess Laettner. Arrogant ass, lockeroom cancer.

    Though he and Mo Taylor would get along well.

    First Malone, now Laettner? How 'bout Derrick Coleman and Anthony Mason, too? While we're at it, let's see if Laimbeer or Rick Mahorn will come out of retirement.

    Seriously. These guys should never be Rockets.

    The third string back up center will be the league minimum. I don't mind to pick him up at league minimum but rather have some young prospect.

    I think signing Laettner to the minimum for added insurance is low risk. He could play PF/C if any of our PF get injured and when Deke is injured.

    Plus, come trading deadline, he could easily be packaged in a deal. It will give us added flexibility on our roster if we can find a way to move Spoon or MoT.

    we should sign a young 3rd string center. let him learn from deke and ewing and groom him into the back-up we need for next year.

    What if Deke is injured? We're gunning for a championship now.

    In which case we shouldn't sign a headcase like Laettner who's lost all of his skills.

    We have 4 pf's that can handle the 3rd string 5 position. We definately don't need CL.
