    That's inevitable right? I think if you look at the Rockets bench long enough, Moochie just appears in front of it.

    Funny sh*t man! Kinda like when you're going out, there's always one guy that calls you around 10P and says "I'll meet you up" completely uninvited.

    Macijauskas is one of the best pure shooters in the world. Question is if he can defend NBA players.

    Very good shooter.
    A true SG.
    But an European must prove 3 more than an American.
    And in Indiana, there are lots of SG.
    It would be a good addition in my mind.

    I think thats what the knock on him is, his defense he can shoot lights out though. My question is did he see any PT last year wit Byron Scott?

    I like Macijauskas (pronounced like Matsi-yow-skas)... Still, now that we have novak, not sure we need him. Macijauskas is a pure shooter. possibly the best one from Europe. I would use him in a Piatkowski-type role. When rockets can't hit anything (which, as we know, happened quite a lot last year), send that guy in for some instant offense. If he's on, he's on... can't miss...

    This guy was a stud on the Lithuania team that went far in the last Olympics. Seemed to have unlimited range and was was fearless. But some of these Euros can't cut it in the NBA game. I'd rather have Jacevikius if he's available.

    He only played 19 games and averaged 7.1 mins. Has a player for 2008. Definately worth a gamble as long as NO throw in a pick to take on his contract.

    Rybo for Macij works under realgm trade checker.

    Why not?

    If he is cheap, then let's get him and take a look, we always need another guy in the Jon Barry mold....
