    As much as I hate not getting one of the bigger named PGs, I will say Prigioni really fits the Rockets style of PG. He's basically insurance for Terry's health. Can't really complain the move itself as much as what has not been done.

    No, we sent 2 second rounder *to* NY. We kept the 2nd rounder that NY owes us.

    Bad contract for a guy that's a horrible defender.

    He's old and sux. Offers no upgrade but a downgrade from Pat Bev...

    I'm guessing we traded the 2nd's because we will be estimated to hard cap next year, thus unable to sign 2nd rounders?

    TBH, I think Prigioni becomes the weakest link in our defense, and only minimum on offense. Shved was nothing, so that doesn't matter, but still.

    Nice pickup. It's a little steep but given how many second rounders we have- it's not that big of a deal. He fills a small hole, but hes more of an energy guy off the bench (like Bev). Not a real starter.

    Ohh ok. That's more comforting. The original wording sounded like we gave them back their 2nd rounder.

    Still a bit too much though. 1 should be enough.

    what? Two 2nd round picks for who? I know I saw him play before, but I don't remember anything of him.

    Is Prigioni that much (2 2nd rounders) better than Shved?

    Will he even get playing time? Is he really worth two second rounders? I'm confused. Must be for his non-guaranteed contract next season.

    Yes. Despite what people keep saying about Schved, his numbers are god awful.

    He's not terrible, so he's obviously way better.

    he has good 3 pt % numbers in his 3 years in the league but he hardly shoots any, 2.1 attempts per game, averages .9 makes
