    I too think the baxter signing was predictable...i never thought we'd sign glover...the rockets were a whole lot enamored with baxter than they were with dion...

    we weren't going to sign glover bnecuase hes a gaurd and as we all know we have to many

    as for the trimming of the roster, its been heard that they are looking at possible trades before waiving anyone

    this would seem logical since they would waive either moochie or ward and that would hurt the rockets financially since they have multi-years on their contracts

    I wouldn't mind getting glover since wesly is about to get traded, and I think glover might be even do better defensive wise since he is much taller. I also is a Legit scorer and can slash inside.

    How is Wesley about to be traded? As of now, he's still the Rockets' starting shooting guard. Defensively, Wesley is actually one of the best inch-for-inch defenders in the league. Height doesn't mean a thing. If it did, then Yao Ming would have been All-Defensive Team material. Sadly, that is not the case.

    I heard that we are bout to do a sign and trade including wesly and one of those 3 scrubs on our roster. and HELL NO wesly aint one of the best inch for inch defenders in the league. You gotta be kidding me, if so thats why that sorry kid couldnt hang with Jason terry or even josh howard and u are telling me he is one of the best? <strike>You must be out of your mind kid.</strike> Wesly is like 67 years old man and he cant even guard me if i was playing.

    first off, I believe Sura was responsible for guarding Terry, not D-Wes...Wesley guarded Finley...TMac guarded Howard....except for maybe 2 games, Wesley did do an admirable job on Finley for the most part...and who did you hear of this 2-for-1 trade from?...aside from maybe TMac, Wes is our best perimeter defender...

    Wesley guarded Jerry Stackhouse for most of the series. In the whole series, Stackhouse shot 40.3% from the floor. He had nights of 4-13, 4-12, 3-10 and 4-10. Anyone who has the watched the series will tell you that Wesley had never guarded Terry for more than three possessions in a row. And also, Josh Howard had Yao guarding him for most of the series. Should we trade Yao?

    Him being on the training camp roster doesn't mean anything. All teams start out the season with fifteen players and after training camp, they make a lot of cuts from the roster.

    Yao
    Swift
    TMac
    DA
    Alston
    Wesley
    Hayes
    Barry
    Bowen
    Deke
    Head
    Sura
    Howard
    Moochie
    Baxter
    Glover
    Langford

    If JVG decides to use the full 17 spots, so two players would be getting cut...IMO, it will probably be hayes and glover/langford...

    Rockets are negotiating a buyout with Baker...Ward has become an assitant coach with the team...
