    Morey should hire Durant's UT coach then.

    Same thing everyone said about us holding on to brewer's contract right ?

    no reason to trace or waive a BIG who is working on conditioning, 7-0, is excited about working with dream/Mchale, & grooming to be on MIN contract 2014-2015

    this is another low-risk high reward, cap flexibility move

    Bummer indeed. I like Greg S.

    Still a bit rough but he's 21 (22?)

    Lots of upside.

    Smith can defend. Ibaka,LA, griffin etc. better than T.Jones and DMo even with broken legs( thats a bit too much but needed to support my point ) :grin:

    The reason: he is not affreid to do so like the other two guy when facing a tough player

    I don't like this. Nothing against Pittman, but I would guess it means it will take a while before Dwight gets back so that would mean going into the post season with the same team as last year minus Delfino, with Garcia in a shooting slump and Beverly not playing at 100%. Hopefully I am wrong.

    Thank you, Greg, for playing your heart out for us. We just need a warm body for these playoffs.

    Get well quickly and then get back to work. Rockets might pick up your contract again. Hope there are no longterm issues with your knee.

    So we signed a huge dude so he can give us 6 fouls in the paint if we need them? Well, we didn't have a fat center. Position filled!

    I like his pick and roll game. It's a pity he can't stay healthy.

    We needed Dexter to play C against the Nuggets.

    1 or 2 more wins, and he'll be playing 48 minutes alongside Canaan, Covington, Daniels and Hamilton to close out the season.

    Pittman is alot like Kris Lang or Eddy Curry and the other overweight undersized 5s that couldn't make it. Smith looks like he's got the cardio down, this sux and Im against it. Boo Morey, Pittman is dead weight with a bad attitude and gave nothing to Miami while was there. Boo, Boo, Boo...
