    he's a true team player and he's never shy to take his teamwork abilities to the next level so to speak.

    Delonte is a pretty good player, much better than some of yall are giving him credit for. once again, it's hard to argue with those who only watch rockets' games and read the espn/nba headlines.

    To work at a Houston area Home Depot? YES

    To play PG for the Rox? HELL NO

    I personally think we should sign Shannon Brown.

    Not a bad idea. We need a little more athleticism in our guard positions if we don't retain Lee.

    he would be a ry nice pickup, great defensive guard, can defend the 1 or 2.. could play him at the 1 and take pressure of Lambs' impending defensive defencies as he grows into his frame

    My thoughts exactly. Dude really has worked on his shot and can knock down the 3 regularly. Not too mention I wanna say he has the highest vertical in the NBA, pretty sure anyway. Hes very athletic and I think could really help us. Esp since I see us being a very up tempo team, he would fit in that mold.

    This move might put Jeremy Lin's mom in danger..

    that's honestly our last priority. If we don't land Howard then what's the point of signing a guy with no potential who doesn't even bring in a good veteran presence? If we do land a superstar like Howard and look to contend this coming season then you talk about signing vets like Delonte to fill out holes on the roster. Even so, are we really convinced Toney Douglas and Shaun Livingston are so bad we need another PG? Looking at our roster today I'd think SG would be more pressing if Martin and/or Lamb is traded away.

    Reason I say bring in Shannon Brown. Id personally rather us only have 1 PG(lin) anyway. That way when he is out we can play a big lineup and run white at point, really create matchup problems.

    Can we get Delonte, JeVale AND Blatche? And maybe get Lin to hook us up with a Harvard-trained psychiatrist?

    Woah, woah, take it easy. You can't bust on West until you've really taken a walk in his shoes, by watching this video. Then bust on him.

    I love it. This video is part of what made me a West fan. It's a little slow at first but gets good. Also, I really like the way he plays. If we had 6 guys in our rotation and needed a 7th, I'd be all for getting West; I think he's really good. But the only thing is, we need 6 other guys first, and right now we only have three. Everything else is in flux. And two of our starters (Martin and - sigh - Parsons) are trade bait. Seriously though, West's game has a lot going for it. It's just the right time to sign a backup/5th starter.

    And when I say it gets good I mean it gets enjoyable. Slick Rick he isn't.

    There is a reason two championship caliber teams let him go.
