    I really like Pops. I thought he brought a fire to the team that it lacked, in his short time here. I remember him blocking several shots and just being aggressive, maybe overly aggressive but I think that was a good thing as it inspired the play of others around him.

    I agree, I was thinking that with our logjam at PF. Even if it an opening at that position occurred heaven forbid. I am not sure if I would want him or Mike Harris. I think I would take Harris even now as he has potential to play the 2 or 3 in a James Harden kind of way.

    His offense sucked but he was a good shot blocker.. That's really about it.

    He's really good. Let's waive Scola and make Pops the starter. :rolleyes:

    Might consider him if we have to part with Hill & JJ in a trade for someone.

    i love pops, but i was only pissed that we kept David andersen and cut pops. He was better on the boards, but he is only a 10 minute a night guy at most.

    ...when we had no big men. If the Rockets didn't want him then, when they were in great need, why in the world would they want him now when they have Yao and Miller?

    There is a reason that this is a re-occuring topic on this board. Nobody wants Pops
