    I don't know why but I always feel bad for guys who have way more money than me lol. I feel for every player we release even if I don't like their game.

    Released before he became the new Booby. Harden and Briante were getting too close.

    Don't need Bobby anymore now that we have his son Markel.

    And guess what G-League team Brown played for?

    The Oklahoma City Blue.

    Tillman will make Brian T. Weber replace Clutch the Bear as the new team mascot.

    Good move. Don’t hold on to players who don’t produce.

    Does he fit the montrezl/weber scrub role that harden takes under his wing?

    I like what I’ve seen of the kid. High riser that is shooting 36% from 3 in the G-League this year on 8 attempts/gm.

    I like the RJ Hunter and Markel Brown as the 2-way contracts. Perhaps the Rockets rushed into the previous 2.

    Love those 6 degrees of separation. He never had a chance of advancement with Westybrook at the big league level

    How are Hunter and Brown in terms of bench cheering and celebration? Weber's cheer-leading will be hard to replace.

    I really liked Weber’s on-ball defense. Coach/team probably got frustrated with him on offense for not taking open 3s considering he didn’t do much else. Markel Brown looks like more of a playmaker and will actually take shots.

    The emergency point guard has gotten a little burn this season, so this move isn’t as insignificant as I’d like it to be. It’s close though

    I liked Weber's effort, but he was such an offensive liability. He was scared to take open shots. Every player coming into the league has to know that they need to be able to take and make three pointers by now.

    I have to agree with you. In watching highlights of Markel Brown......I see a lot of Reggie Jackson possibilities
    with perhaps better spot shooting (not pull up J’s)

    Watching Memphis/Lakers game right now. RJ Hunter to me is so much like this Dillion Brooks kid. Whom the
    Rockets drafted and passed his rights on to Memphis.
