    I hope he'll be a hustle/glue guy for the 2nd unit, like Parsons is for the 1st.

    Scrappy guy, always active in every play, has a shooting stroke and range you must respect.

    Let's just say there is a "Small Forward" spectrum.

    (SG) <<<<< SF >>>>> (PF)

    Chandler Parsons, Carlos Delfino, etc. are closer to the SG side of that spectrum (handles, passing, speed, etc.)

    Omri Casspi is much closer to the PF side of that spectrum which makes him a definite candidate for the stretch 4. Knows how to play like a "big", can bang a little, does not avoid contact, rebounds, etc.

    Would feel a lot better with a wing defender like Corey Brewer. Garcia is great but is also 33. Better to be safe than sorry

    So Parsons is now recruiting both superstars and bench fillers for the team.

    I feel he can help us out a lot with his length and defense,despite his shooting limitations.

    I really still don't know if I even believe this story... The only person to report it is Brian Windhorst from ESPN and he said it like a minute after Dwight announced he'd sign with us... Does Windhorst really have the only source connected to Omer who is saying this or is there another corroborating report I haven't seen?

    Just take anything other than Woj with a grain of salt, and even then keep an open mind. Morey's always scheming so us fans never have an accurate idea of what he may or may not do.

    Who said the rockets does not have the depth ------ to watch the Los Angeles rockets war feelings

    The rockets and before the lake person's competition three, a rockets hits the score backwardness to finish, the most high score difference reaches. /22

    The fourth section 7 minute 45 seconds, JVG unexpectedly dispatches the backless stool to request reinforcements is taken to the threshing ground, takes the post of the anticipation is the rockets substitution by 22; 1 attack high tide pursues the score 94; 92, if not for three-time serves has not entered, the rockets will realize counter- ultra-Lucas three in the short 17 minute time, the height which seven does not arrive by his 1 meter 6 throws in 5, three minute 2 center 1, penalty kick 2 center 2, 5 blue pull the high efficiency which, 2 secondary attack, 1 strongly breaks to have lasting achievements, moreover Hyde's three minute balls in 84, also play in the critical moment the stable morale of troops role.

    Although competes finally comes to an end by the rockets defeat. But we are not difficult to see the rockets all officers and men to put together the vigor, as well as player's the and so on Lucas high efficiency, my volume applauds for Lucas, too has been good, small fellow,15! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    sorry my english is poor. maybe have many mistake.

    Yes,when Casspi first joined the NBA and Sacramento in particular,Garcia immediately took Casspi under his wings,I guess since they are both foreign,he wanted to help Casspi,to hasten Casspi's adjustment to life in the US.
    They are good friends until today.

    Um...Garcia is from the Bronx. That may be foreign to you, but I call it being a New Yorker.
