@  YaoMan : (23 October 2015 - 04:49 PM) Zach Lowe seems to think the Rox are the biggest threat to GSW: http://grantland.com...-16-nba-season/
@  cointurtlemoose : (23 October 2015 - 04:36 PM) Hey if yall want a good podcast to listen to, find the Dunc'd On Basketball Podcast on Itunes, Rahat just did a Rockets preview with the host.
@  majik19 : (13 October 2015 - 09:09 PM) Apparently we claimed Arsalan Kazemi off waivers from the Hawks today... yet another undersized (6'7") power forward for Morey's cupboard.
@  Mario Peña : (10 October 2015 - 01:12 PM) If your part if the Red94 Fantasy Basketball League check the thread to vote for the date and time for the draft event. Thanks y'all!
@  jorgeaam : (07 October 2015 - 08:47 PM) Guys we need 1 more owner for the Red94 fantasy league, if interested please comment on the post in the fantasy basketball thread
@  slick shoes : (07 October 2015 - 06:50 PM) Kobe ranked one spot higher than Ariza? Is this based on legacy or...??
@  slick shoes : (07 October 2015 - 04:13 PM) It was hard to keep up with both the Astros and Rockets at the same time. Should be interesting on Thursday with the Texans and Astros on simultaneously.
@  Mario Peña : (07 October 2015 - 04:09 PM) It was fun to have the Rockets on last night! Right now I'm watching the Celtics versus Milan and Alessandro Gentile is impressive.
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Well, thinking twice about it, I'd rather have him score less and have the team as a whole do better. Lawson should take a lot of his load off
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Loving that, hope he hits 30 PPG this year
@  thejohnnygold : (06 October 2015 - 06:15 PM) Someone is feeling confident :) : LINK
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 05:54 PM) 10 Teams done, will need 2 more
@  Mario Peña : (06 October 2015 - 02:35 PM) Alright guys, if anyone is interested in joining the Red94 fantasy basketball league we could use one more player to get us to 10 teams (or three to get us to 12 teams). Just check the thread in the Fantasy Basketball forum. Thanks!
@  thejohnnygold : (05 October 2015 - 06:23 PM) I use leaguepass here in Austin with no problems...
@  skip 2 my lou : (05 October 2015 - 03:14 PM) Hey fellas, I'm a rocket fan but I live in the heart of Dallas. Does anybody know if I buy NBA Leaguepass if it's too close to be subject to blackouts?
@  Losthief : (02 October 2015 - 02:24 AM) tks jg
@  thejohnnygold : (29 September 2015 - 05:16 AM) FYI, it was media day today. Interviews are up at NBA.com
@  slick shoes : (23 September 2015 - 06:37 PM) kind of late in the day but NBATV is broadcasting classis Rockets games all day today.
@  SadLakerFan : (16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

What did you think about the other two articles? The one about how the NBA lies about height, and the draft express article.

    He's a C but but not a very strong one, he will struggle over here imo, I wouldn't get too excited about him.

    Here is my original response to those articles from page 3 of this thread:

     

    "I am aware of this.  You may recall the long discussion about Dennis Rodman we had a while back where this came up.  Unfortunately for you, this does nothing to support your notion as the article is talking about players exaggerating their heights, not diminishing them.  Got anything else?"

     

    Not much else to say....

      He is a rebounder. Averages 6 rebounds in 16 minutes.

      I'm not really sure how to say this without a pause, but defensively he lets his man establish deep position in the post too easily. Pause.

        That comes from not being coached well enough. That can be taught. Now if he is willing to learn is another, but at least the hussle/want too is already there in his rebounding.

            I have not read all of the posts. The Rockets biggest need under there current roster is to add a stretch 4. Someone who can guard a four D but who can stretch the floor on O. Someone like Ryan Anderson or Kevin Love. I do think that they have a young guy who can do this on the roster but he is not ready, Terrence Jones. 

             

            While I do think Lin did not play well against OKC. I think Beverly was over-hyped after Westbrook's injury. Lin I believe has a bigger upside than Beverly. Ask the Rockets GM. Parsons gives us alot of flexibility at the four.

             

            If the Rockets do get Howard. I think they will try to keep Asik for a year as a backup. This would allow the Rockets to always have a rim defender on the floor. Adding a defensive stopper would be nice. Someone who could cover the 2 or 3. I am also concerned about Delfino's foot. He may be done. They will need some offense coming off the bench.

             

            1 Lin

            2 Harden

            3 Parsons

            4 Anderson - NO Pelicans-Will have to get him in some kind of trade. I do not think they can get Love right now.

            5 Howard -  I think the Rockets have a good shot to make this happen. I am trusting Morey on this. I have my own doubts about Howard.

             

            1 Beverly

            3 Delfino

            4 Jones

            5 Asik

            Okay so I did the math and it looks like several players will need to go if we want to make room for Dwight (his first year will be 20.5 million). After getting rid of the non-guaranteed contracts not named Beverley, and trading away Thomas Robinson, here is what we have:

             

             8,374,646 Omer Asik
             8,374,646 Jeremy Lin
            13,668,750 James Harden
             1,719,480 Royce White
             1,551,840 Terrence Jones
             1,422,720 Donatas Motiejunas
              926,500 Chandler Parsons
              788,872 Patrick Beverley
             
            Total: 36,827,454
             
            If you add Dwight's 20.5 million to the total it comes to 57,327,454. Next's year's cap is expected to be set at 58 million. Hopefully we can convince the team that takes Thomas Robinson to take Royce White too, that way we can keep Greg Smith who some of us are quite fond of (I'm guessing Larry Coon included Greg Smith in his calculations too). 
             
            If anyone wants to double check these numbers go ahead.

            that league in turkey must be pretty good. quite a bit of talent coming from there lately.

              The problem with your math is you don't have the space holders. Each empty spot in the roster counts the league minimum towards the salary cap. Gotta have a league minimum 12 players so you have to add 4 league min salaries.
