    Are the Rockets gonna resign this guy? We could use another power forward and Massenberg is a real nice player that has a good offenseive game and nice rebounding skills.

    id rather have pig back then massinjured. Pig has more heart and has good chemistry with the young players.He hustles his butt off.

    Tony is a good bench player and with the history of injuries in Los he would be nice insurance.

    I don't know much about Massenburg's career, but I think last year was a fluke as far as his injuries were concerned. The year before he played in 43 of the 50 games. I don't know if the Rockets should resign him or not. I simply haven't seen enough of him to make an informed opinion. If I remember what I heard when he first came in the Francis trade, he is a good defender. He's also not going to demand a lot of touches (same goes for Pig). But Massenburg is capable of putting up decent numbers. He put up a little over 11 ppg during the strike-shortened season in a little more than 26 minutes a game. If he's fully healed, and if he's not too rusty, I wouldn't mind having an eight year veteran on our team -- especially with all the youth we have at the power foward position.
