I read this again, and realized this is probably what Morey was doing. I was wrong. Kudos to Morey for looking out for AB, he played for peanuts with the Rockets
Interesting hear Morey comment on the hope that Hamilton will contribute rebounding from the weakside... don't honestly know Hamilton as a player, but his stats seem to suggest he can rebound as a SF.
AB0 will be back next season for the Rockets. Lin gets traded in the offseason to open up time for Canaan. Rockets will draft another PG in late 1st or early 2nd and send him to RGV. Rockets sign AB0 to be 3rd PG for season as it has been proven many times that Morey values AB0 more than other GMs.
Yeah Casspi has bumped Garcia in the rotation b/c DMO has been playing super solid lately. Casspi has looked like poop at the 3 though. This guy could actually see minutes.
Rebounding is an interesting point that I hadn't thought about. Really, this team relies on Dwight and Omer way too much for rebounds and when they're getting beat for whatever reason (usually because someone like O'Neal or Randolph is practicing wrestling moves on them) we get beat. Would be nice to have some wing rebounding as well.

A guy who grabs over 17% of all avaliable defensive rebounds was a wing (almost double garcias and higher then Casspi) and a catch and shoot 3 point shooter at 39% which is higher then Garcia and Casspi by a big margin
Nearly every player Morey acquires is a pleasant surprise. There is obviously a lot more about him than we realize or is being let on. Either that or he was trying to work a number of trades at the deadline and that is the only one that worked out.
Add Hamilton to Garcia and Casspi and we have three backup wings with size and streaky outside shooting. None seem to be the long term answer for the backup 2/3 spot but hopefully one or more of these guys will get hot from the perimeter during the postseason.
