    I was going over the players which Rockets own the rights to...what happened to Maarty Leunen and Brad Newley? Are these guys good enough to bring over right now or in the future? Or will they go down as Malick Badiane 2.0?

    I doubt we ever see these guys..... I thought Leunen always played good for us in Summer Leagues...

    Leunen is a stretch 4 :) But athletically and physically he is so far away even from a 2Pat or a Morris that it's unlikely he'll ever come, unless he gets to Steve Novak from 3s level (which isn't likely).

    Maarty Leunen is still in the Rockets system.

    Has played with Pallacanestro Cantù (Italy) for three
    seasons (2009-12), averaging 9.5 points and 4.8
    rebounds in 37 games in 2011-12 …

    Rockets also own the rights to Furkan Aldemir, Axel Hervelle, Jon Diebler, and of course Sergio Llull.

    They're being kept around for the Venson Hamilton treatment;

    EVEN A PEPPERCORN WILL DO.

    Brad Newley could work in this system. On a Pat bev scale.

    Question more pertinent to me is who from overseas might DM the GM be targeting with the itchy 5mil this season?

    I heard DM the GM say he was looking into front loading contract(s) for int'l(s).

    But, yes.
