    wshy would he be released? Grizz are out of lux cap hell, and JWill would be first gone regardless.

    Huh?! Ruben Patterson? Man, if this guy is cut by Portland, GET HIM IN A ROCKETS UNI NOW!!!! :eek:

    Man, that guy is a poorman's Artest on the court. I absolutely love his toughness, his tenaciousness, and his rebounding/defense on the court. If we get Ruben Patterson, we would have our own version of Bruce Bowen, only better!

    BTW, am I the only one who is psyched about Head? I REALLY think this guy will be not only productive, but a good person who will buy into JVG's team concept and will perfectly fit in. I do think he WILL get minutes next season on the court, and I think Mike James will get less minutes. Moreover, Sura will probably play a lot more SG than he has in the past.

    Anyways, all I am saying is Luther Head will be a good pickup by the Rockets, he really fits the backcourt player type that we are looking for: speedy, low TO, and a team guy. All this really tells me is that the Rockets are going to make a big PF acquisition from free agency, which I think was the right way to go, because we need more immediate help at the PF than we do in the backcourt, which means we could afford having a young inexperienced guard to develop the next couple of seasons, while we can't really wait for help at the PF position.

    So again, this makes a lot of sense. Still, my biggest wish for this free agency is to have another swingman to play along T-Mac (namely Ruben Patterson), who can give T-Mac a breather every once in a while AND, most importantly, play alongside T-Mac on the court at the same time whenever we need more size in the backcourt to matchup with the likes of Dallas.

    Am I making sense to you people? Tell CD to call me, I gots some ideas ;)

    The CD comment I heard on Fox Sports Radio with Van Earl Wright was the Luther Head was the best perimeter defender in the draft.

    I'm getting more and more comfortable with the pick. I was pretty dissappointed at first, but realized that if the pick doesn't play good enough defense, they aren't going to play at all.

    As far as the undrafted players, I would like to bring in Winston for a look. A true SG that has a pretty good shot. Also, maybe we could give Morris a look for a replacement for Deke.
