OH NO! Rockets release Luther Head

[moofs]

Luther's agent says "a dozen" teams are interested in signing him? Glad to see him go but hate that we waived a former first round pick for nothing in return.

Current NBA Players drafted after Luther Head in 2005
Monta Ellis
David Lee
Linas Kleiza
Von Wafer
Jason Maxiell
Brandon Bass
Ronny Turiaf
Travis Diener
Louis Williams
Andray Blatche
Ryan Gomes
Amir Johnson
CJ Miles

While draft mistakes are inevitable, the consistency of Dawson's mistakes make me glad that he's gone.

Well looks like Luther will play with D-Wade and company. I wish him well. I think his shooting will help that team.

Alright so now that we know where Head will be signing, any info on him?

If there's a team that he SHOULD fit in at, it would be a team that has a superstar to take pressure off him and a situation where all they need him to do is shoot. So MIA sounds like a pretty good situation for him. I think Riley signed him to be the backup PG. MIAs offense is pretty simple for the PG, just dribble the ball up and pass it to the PF or C on either elbow.

[Baller 24]

Don't let him play back up point guard. DO NOT! He's a terrible ball handler, he's good at making wide open shots and working in transition, but I'm saying this one more time, to make your life easier, the coaching staffs life easier, hell even to make my life easier, DO NOT LET HEAD HANDLE THE BALL OR RUN THE OFFENSE, it's really a disaster waiting to happen.

[HTown_TMac]

If all you want him to do is bring the ball up and pass it to Wade, or just have Wade bring it up, then thats good. He is like Quinn but better IMO.

[TMACFORMVP]

He can't even bring the ball up with any sort of pressure, nonetheless Wade handles the ball all the time anyway, as a spot up shooter, that hopefully doesn't get too much burn in the playoffs, he'll be fine.

Part of me hopes that Luther ends up in Utah and plays along side Deron Williams.

Wouldn't it be great if he hit a 3 to seal a Utah playoff series win over his old Rockets team?

I would LOVE to see the board's reaction to that.

Utah got plenty of SGs they don't need Head
the only playoff team that i think will benefit with Head is Denver, Orlando, and Miami

Head picked Miami
at least it's one of the three teams i think Head can help them

[Flix360]

Thanks for all info's, Rocketsters.

And HE'S A BILLIONL IGHT YEARS BETTER THAN QUINN, Chris Quinn is the worst the NBA had seen, he's the DJ Mbenga of PG's.

Anyways, also yes, we need more shooters, since ours gets off every once in a while.

Head can help a lot of teams.

[HTown_TMac]

Head can help a lot of teams.

Especially Miami, because Wade is very familiar with Head.

[Baller 24]

Yeah I agree, Head is definitely the right fit for Miami, when Wade is having issues penetrating deep inside, he can always pop it out and go with Head who can really satisfy Wade with a nice shot to the face of the opposing defender.

Exactly, due to the fact that Wade has no protection.

I think I speak for everyone in saying that you can't possibly get enough Head in Miami.
