    What's so great about Asik other than he's a 7 footer? I've seen him play and he's not impressive. Can anyone fill me in?

    If Battier goes to Memphis, you can put them as a lock for the playoffs. They're still winning even with Rudy Gay out.

    Cool.

    I would be all for that, since I don't see Battier being here after thos season. Sounds like a Morey move, taking a chance on a guy underperforming. Buy low.

    We should be able to get more than a potential bust like Thabeet for Battier, jfc he's still an above average defender in this league.

    Something I posted a ways back in December..

    "Please GOD NOOOO on Tha beet... The only thing he has is Height.. He has no athleticism,defense,lateral movement, basketball smarts, etc...

    I know a family that was "VERY" close to the family that adopted him here... Since High School he is still learning but it might be because he's just not that good.. The only reason he got a shot at college was because of his height, and the only reason why he was drafted was because of height and the supposed raw potential.. Well I can tell you that is all he has.. Height.. He has nothing else to give and I pray the Rockets don't go that route.

    Seriously wasn't he a 2nd round pick and got sent to the D-League with 3-4 months after the draft?"

    Like what? He can walk after this year. I wouldn't give up a lot for him.

    He was the #2 Pick in the draft. The guy has more upside than anyone on our team.

    I think I understand why a lot of people on this board thinks Thabeet has potential because he reminds everyone of a young Deke... But they are too totally different beings.. Deke was somewhat coordinated and was more than just RAW coming into the NBA.

    probably have to give Houston a little more - but Thabeet/ Battier has absolutely been talked about and is a possibility 14 minutes ago via web

    Sorry it was a miss type in my part.. Yes 2nd PICK that can't even get off the bench.. Was send the to D-League after 3-4 months and can't develop any basic NBA skills..

    Your so high on him because he is tall and that is it. If only you can hear the stories the father told a group of guys and me about him growing up in high school. It's like the man had 2 left feet and was like a baby learning how to walk..
