    I was checking the list of remaining FA's at:
    http://www.nba.com/freeagents/2010/

    ... and noticed there were stil some good players left. Do you see any of them agreeing to the minimum, that may be worth the Rockets' time and money? I was thinking of a 3rd string PG as injury insurance. Ther are some great PG's on the list, the problem is, would they sign the Min? Maybe not. Also, do we have any of the MLE left or did Miller take it all?

    3 PG's that caught my eye were Tinsley, Earl Watson and Boykins. I could see any of them settling for the Min. I don't know about Boykins' size though, since we already have Brooks. There are better players on that list that play PG, such as Will Bynum and Jose Barea, but I cannot see them signing for the minimum.

    If you don't agree with me on getting a 3rd PG, do you see any remaining FA's from other positions that may be fill a need on our team? I'm thinking of injury insurance here as we are shored up at every position, however only have 2 PG's an have injury risks in Yao and Martin.

    This thread is designed to create a discussion on low level FA's and which one's could fit the Rockets.

    none.

    we have 13 guys (in a 9 man rotation) who are better than anything out there and all deserve playing time plus two expirings that could possibly help us land a big time player during the season.

    only move morey has left to make is land that trade.

    We have 17 guys on contract right now, with 15 the max. 2 of those are non-guaranteed.

    Only way we sign another FA is if we do a blockbuster trade first.

    I think Chase Bud will be our third string 1, kind of like Brent Barry was supposed to be...
