    I've never seen him play but I have hopes he can take all of Brewer's minutes.

    He is fluid in the way that cane syrup is fluid.

    Bye bye brewer for a second round pick, couple it with an existing pick and trade up...

    Also Gentile... can he play D?

    also it is unlikely he comes to the Rockets without a promise of play time and role. He isn't being traded for a pick... yet.

    He's not a great shooter. But his shot looks fixable.

    Don't really have room for this guy do we? I can see us trading KJ to get rid of his contract and also Dekker to go along with Brewer, but not sure i'd want to see those guys replaced with Gentile and cap space. As much hate as Brewer gets for his shooting, he probably will fit perfectly fine in a D'Antoni offense.

    I can't see Brewer fitting in any offense. He's not even particularly good at finishing at the rim, and at any kind of range his percentages are putrid.

    Llull is NEVER, EVER, EVER going to come over and play in the NBA. I have had this opinion for years and will until there is an actual signed contract.

    Personally i would like to have all those three guys (Gentile, Dekker and KJ) since they play in different spots and/or they have different abilities, i mean, we can basically have all those three guys at the same price of Brewer alone, if at least one of them can become a good bench player it's already a win so...

    Well, i understand that and it's absolutely shareable, i just think that this summer, if we miss on big names, there's the perfect situation for him here.
