    I don't see why not. Dude is very inconsistent though.

    I don't think he is going to be super cheap. He will be moderately priced, but not a horrible option.

    We have plenty of threads for this random idea to go in. You know I get lots of good idea's too, but I post them in the nba trade idea thread or the "what does Morey do now" threads etc.

    That would be fitting. He could finish his career where he should have started it in the 1st place. He would also play a similar role here.

    Nope. What does he bring that Ariza doesn't?

    I like the idea of more of a mid-range shooter that plays good defense. Taj Gibson or Jason Smith.

    Um, Rashard HATES the Rox org. He left school cuz we promised him a 1st round pick, then we skipped over him twice.... He'll never come here.

    I clicked on it thinking it would a tweet or something saying the Rockets were interested in Lewis. Were not supposed to create threads and liter the GARM with every free agent signing idea posters get.

    Y'all are trying too hard to find the stretch 4.

    We have bigger problems, like no proven backup PG. We desperately needed a PG that could maintain the tempo and keep guys calm and focused during tough stretches.

    We have no backup for Dwight, a position Bosh would have been able to help anchor.

    Did you guys forget how we lost in the playoffs? Or why we can't beat the Clippers? We got torched, creamed, burned and flat out ****ed by skilled 4's. And we're worried about putting Rashard Lewis out there to hit 1.8 3's per game? Aldridge was dropping 40+. A handful of 3's aren't going to right the ship.

    We used to put 6'5" Delfino at the stretch 4. We can figure out a way to plug that position. But it's not even a position we need. I'm over hearing about it. We're already a top 5 offensive team. We need defense and balance.

    Not more pee-pee games.

    DING DING DING, getting a real PF is more important than a stretch PF unless everyone would like history to repeat itself.

    LOL. I think he "left school" because in high school, once you graduate, you HAVE to leave.
