    I thought he has a good thing right now in the construction business.

    If we didn't still have any playoffs hope, I wouldn't mind signing Starbury for the rest of the season just for the comedy of it.

    I just got the exact same injury as Lowry and my doctor said that the worst for me would be if I tweaked it again or sprained it again, could need surgery and stuff like that.

    I know Lowry is trying to get paid, but he needs to focus on his health before.

    Actually I think Strawberry would be a good guy to have at the end of the bench. I forgot about him but he looked good as a Rockets when he and Wafer were battling for a roster spot.

    i think we need a real back-up C at about the same urgency.

    we can always pull up a PG from the D-League for the other spots.

    big men at the post are in shortage.

    If they lose lowry in the offseason, it looks like marcus williams is starting to figure things out.

    I think Budinger is a good candidate for situations like this.

    There's not another point with the Vipers? Morey didn't want to sign a guy (Temple or Conroy) for the rest of the season because of the cap, but yeah, we need another body if Lowry is hobbled.

    There's always that spanish guard Llull. I heard he's pretty good.

    If we sign a 3rd PG, it would surely be on the cheap to keep under lux tax (if that's an issue). As well, you just want a guy who's going to run the offense, play good defense, and play offense if the D doesn't respect him. Guys like Marbury are not fitting the bill. Temple and Conroy were perfect fits.

    I remember that earlier in the season this was discussed as a longer term option, but they didn't want to throw too much at him in his rookie season

    I'm sure the Rockets have someone they can pick up from the D-League for a 10-day contract if Lowry has to miss more games. At this stage, its not that big of a deal.
