Rockets to sign Marcus Cousin, release DeMarre Carroll

[Mount Mutombo]

I would rather make a solid attempt at developing Hasheem Thabeet and start him a few games next year.

Watching the Vipers game now.

The announcers just trashed Thabeet during the players introduction.

[rocketsballin]

did they mispronounce his name or what? did they say "you cant even balance a feather on this guy's shoulders, and he's supposed to be a future starting center for a championship team?" "ya tom i dont think roxfashoballin likes that. i dont think he likes that at all"

They talked about how Thabeet would rebounds let go by him and how he'd get outhustled (by guards).

Cousin has been in foul trouble for most of the game, but he's been arguably the bester player when on the court.

He'll have to improve his conditioning and work on his (lateral) quickness, as well as his body overall to be a productive NBA player.

Right now he's a homeless man's Al Horford with a bit of the clumsiness of a Zaza Pachulia, Joey Dorsey or Hilton Armstrong.
