[Stein]Rockets summon D-Leaguer Alexander Johnson for tryout

how can we sign someone new.. aren't we full up??

 

Trade filler if he excels in the summer league?

 

Mikey's 10 days are almost up.

 

They will probably just waive Hilton Armstrong to make room for Johnson.

 

Rockets take tanking to a new low by signing d-league free agents into the rotation to "tryout". LOL! Go Morey Go!

 

Mikey signed for the rest of the year.

 

News to me, and awesome!

 

Interesting.

 

good pickup

 

I mis-read and thought Joe Alexander was coming to Houston. Got excited for the wrong reason.

 

don't know this dude.
hope he's better than Hilton Armstrong.

 

I didn't know Temple had bounced to San Antonio now. Huh.

 

Well, he's tearing up the D-League.

On another thread, the conversation centers around how a player will improve beyond his rookie year. This guy could very well be about to get it all together.

Or not. It's worth a shot.

 

Signed James White, Mike Harris, Will Conroy

 

Wasnt everyone crying to draft that guy a few years ago?

 

So who gets cut/waived?

 

I remember when he played for Memphis. He rebounded and finished around the basket quite nicely,and brought some energy while he was on the court. He is pretty athletic too.
I don't how he did after that short stint.

 

Hmmmm. Interesting if true.

I actually think waiving Armstrong will hamper the Rockets' from a trade flexibility standpoint. If Morey needs salary filler to complete a large trade this summer, they could sign-and-trade Armstrong for up to $3.36M without having to deal with any Base Year Compensation issues. But not if they waive him.

 

Maybe,they don't feel anyone will be interested in him,but I see your point as well.
