    Wright will be a fine addition. Dude is long and he can play the pick and roll...which is all a big man in our offense needs to do. He's a decent defender and a plus rebounder. I hope the additions of Wright and JJ let us rest our regulars more. That's where Wright and JJ's real value lays, IMO. This team needs to focus on health as June nears. It's a long season, and basketball is such a high impact game. Time to stretch the minutes across the roster.

    Sidenote, but I was always impressed with Wright in DAL. He's struggled after DAL, but the NBA reality is that success comes down to roles and schemes. It's clear that BOS/PHX/MEM were not good fits for Wright. I think he'll surprise a lot of average NBA fans...he can thrive with a guards at the helm like JH and CP3, if he gets the minutes.

    No kidding. I'd love to have a buck for every time one of the 3 are misspelled. Grammar aside (and my own goes off the rails from time to time), the guy's giving us more depth at a position where we could use some. I wonder how long it will take Wright to adjust to the system? Green sort of strolled into town, looked at the way the Rockets operate, rubbed his hands together with glee and cackled, "Groovy!" Fit right in. We'll see if Brandan can manage as well with MDA and the system.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself. The doubters aren’t obligated to click on threads. They have a choice to Gtfo

    Rocket science trumps ball science every time. BS1 has jumped the shark and attacking balls in.

    Love this dude. Always been one of my "irrational" favorite players. Very nice rebounder and shotblocker. Great pickup.

    @Codman ball is life but life is more important than basketball. We all appreciate what you mean to this community, but most importantly I hope you get well buddy!! If anyone hates on you or your info they aren’t worth your attention.

    Great pickup, big upgrade over Black who has been a huge disappointment this year. Will be nice to be able to throw another lob threat to work with Harden/CP3 when Capela is resting.

    Judging by the amount of plays in his highlights that are alley ops.... That guy just signed for the right team.

    Montage of Brandon Wright "more lobs" please.
