    2011 called. They think this is a great team. :)

    Marreese Speights? Brandon Bass? Luis Scola? David Lee?

    $3 mil? It's fine.

    *Pray for good health*

    Suspended for two seasons or he'd be signed already.

    Very hard to speculate on now.

    My best guess is it will be a trade involving Brewer and/or Ariza. That allows the Rockets to take back about 16-17 million dollars in contracts. If both are dealt, then it could be as high as 24-25 million.

    Scola, Lee would fit right there in an all offense no defense system

    Bass is mediocre defensively

    I'm guessing either Bledsoe or Knight. Hoping Bledsoe.

    for $$$$$ it's a good signing, we still can make moves

    Good locker room guy
    solid VET center
    Decent jumper
    Big body to bump with bigs 10-15mins

    If anything, our bench is less deep but more talented than it was last year.

    Terry
    Brewer
    Lawson
    Capella
    Jones
    Thornton
    Smith


    Gordon
    Beasely
    Nene

    Hard to poo poo this move. Solid, even if he does get injured.

    The last major need is another warm body at PG.

    It's the smartest route to attain an asset that could get you a DeMarcus Cousins.

    Wow last year's bench was an absolute poo poo platter. Anything is better than that.

    The Rockets definition of defense this upcoming season may be not to turn the ball over and fast break at all times LOL. In Bzdelik we trust. :rolleyes:
