Torres Cut Just announced on 610! Oscar Torres and I believe Steve Goodrich were cut today. Thoughts? I'm not sure I like this move, but I guess that means Hawkings has a spot. B
Very disappointed to hear this, Oscar was playing really well this preseason, Rudy should've given him another chance.
Wow! OT is gone. I guess that gives Hawkins the inside track to make the team as the back up 2. I guess Colliers job might be safe another year also.
That is crazy to cut OT before some of the other camp fodders. It may be a numbers game or whatever, but Torres can & has contributed to this team so a spot on the Inactive List is the worst that I thought would happen.
DAMN IT!! We have no backup SG now. Oscar is going to be a good player. What were the Rockets thinking?
Hawkins is taller. And I always thought Torres's defense was wild like a screaming Hawk. Hawk Hawk I'll take the real Hawk-ins. Torres is fine, but is dime a dozen. He just seemed like a gunner. He hardly ever passed. Hawkins seems like he knows his place is defense, and that he loves it. Plus, looks like his got that junkyard dog ability to score like Carlos Rogers.
Oscar wasn't really impressing me. I think we're better off with a guy (Hawkins) who knows that he's supposed to be defensively minded. We don't need offense from this slot.
agree torres is a good role player off the bench but i think im beg. to like hawkins coming off the bench along with moochie to bring some spark especially hawk on the defensive end
For those keeping track, that leaves the roster at: 10 Tierre Brown 13 Kelvin Cato 52 Jason Collier 3 Steve Francis 33 Eddie Griffin 4 Juaquin Hawkins 6 Tito Maddox Pete Mickeal 5 Cuttino Mobley 44 Terrence Morris 9 Bostjan Nachbar 12 Moochie Norris 41 Glen Rice 2 Maurice Taylor 21 Kenny Thomas 11 Yao Ming 16 guys. One more must be cut in the next week.

That's too bad. I liked Torres a lot. He seemed fundamentally sound (way better than Mooch or Cato), worked hard, and made good defensive decisions. The poor guy seemed jinxed at times, when he finally got into the game. A quick foul, a turnover, somebody would miss his pass, etc. I hope he catches on with another team, and gets more PT.
Without a doubt. Hawkins is a better skilled player than OT but I would really like to have him on the Rosters and cut Maddox instead.
Ditto to KALIKULI. I'm sorry for Torres, but psyched for Hawkins. They've still got to cut Mickeal to get down to 15, don't they?
