Head/Reed for Foster JL3 for cash Alston for 1st round draft pick (Heat/Clippers) Ming/Butler/Mutombo Scola/Foster/Hayes Battier/Synder/Novak TMAC/Wells/Sura Francis/James/Brooks We get the rebounder/defender (that TMAC mentioned in the frnacis vid) in Foster That roster looks ready for a run at the championship!
i'm not entirely comfortable with snyder as battier's backup, but then again jvg isn't the coach anymore.
TMAC can always move to the 3 when Wells is at the two or wells can move to the 3 but he is more affective at the 2.... with that synder will play that spot for maybe 10 mins at the most
I don't know much about Foster...only that he is VERY good at rebounding. Any Pacer followers care to shed more light on Foster? I think Haslem would be the perfect fit for the Rockets...Miami has lost out on point guard after point guard...maybe a deal involving Rafer and Luther? I would like to see either of the following three involved in the trading away of the glut guards... Haslem Foster Turkoglu Pietrus
Jeff Foster has been one of the best rebounders of the last decade. His Rebound-Rate is always amongst the league leaders. He's exactly the kind of big that Morey would be looking to acquire.
I'm a somewhat Pacers follower...unfortunately following into a low, low point. You're correct sir, he can rebound and defend. However, he doesn't do anything else. Can't shoot, can't dribble, can't do much of anything except rebound and play defense. Hey, if that's all we need then go for it.
In one of the games against the Rockets last year he was eating up the glass... every time they had the ball he was pulling consecutive offensive rebounds... too bad it was in the dying minutes in the 4th qtr and he basically lost the game for them cause he couldn't even hit a single shot 5ft away from the basket after repeated attempts.
Foster is a terrible offensive player, but a beast on the boards. I think I'd love to have him to contrast with Scola.
What do we need at the 4 position? Rebounding and protecting the paint right? If that's all we need then Foster is our man. Tmac himself emphasized rebounding in that interview with Francis coming to Houston. Foster is one of the best at that. Think of him as a 6'11 Chuck Hayes.
Foster will be a great addition to the Rockets. Like T-Mac said in the video interview the team needs a rebounder at PF. The team already has enough scorers.
