Monroe is not true center sized. Hence why all of Pistons land are screaming for Drummond to start to make up for Moose being undersized on D.

he's 6'11" 250. He's not undersized on D, he's underskilled, imo. He's not very good on defense.

I'm disappointed to see HOU signed James Anderson, because HOU was one of the teams with a surplus of bigs that I thought might be interested in a Hendo trade.

They still could. They probably signed him as part of moving Royce to the D League where he can get into game shape and get more attention

Are Houston ready to give up yet?

I would swap them the expiring turtle for White.

Yes, he's a distraction and a headache, but I'm at the point where I need a distraction from the losing and bad play.
He could actually fit Dunlap's running style.

It seems low risk to me, we're losing badly anyway.

JT2006 · Post #1207 » by **JT2006** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 1:36 am

he still have great potential he just needs to change his mindset

Just read a little bit in the Houston thread and it gave me second thoughts.

That really is a messy situation, I can see White leaving the NBA.

Hopefully take a year or 2 to sort himself out.

JT2006 · Post #1209 » by **JT2006** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 2:05 am

yeah it'll be weird whatever happens. I still think he can have a good career eventually

Eoghan · Post #1210 » by **Eoghan** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 3:05 am

I don't understand why Houston won't let White see his therapist. It seems like one of the sticking points that keeps coming up, why is it such a big deal to Houston that he sees one of their therapists? There's just something fishy about this situation to me.

And if Moose is 6'11'' then Biz is 7'. :\

You don't have to get snippy with me, homey. I was just trying to tell you that you shouldn't waste your time throwing more links at me.

And if you believe everything you read off the internet then I have some urban property of the bridge variety to sell you. :wink:

If you believe nothing you read on the internet, I have a very ignorant mirror you can look in. It matches all the other sources, NBA, ESPN, etc. those are his draft measurements, I don't care if you want to scoff and point, that's what he was measured at

Once, probably in a sketchy manner, then it gets repeated on the interwebz as gospel truth b/c good journalism is about as live and well as the Tasmanian Tiger.

so what you're saying is, instead of giving us reasons to believe he's not 6'11" and 250+. you'd rather just spout out cheeky nonsense. Okay, that's fine.

Post #1218 » by **Diop** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 4:02 am

this argument is getting boring.

Can we move it on to something more exciting?

Like how many women would Cousins impregnate in North Carolina?

It's just my personal opinion, which I value more than DX or ESPN, from decades of watching basketball and seeing these guys standing beside each other. My academic background gives me a healthy dose of skepticism that some people can't readily accept, that's fine. You have your reasons for believing in your opinions and I have mine; no reason to poo poo my reasons for disagreeing with you as "cheeky nonsense" but I appreciate the humor of it. I'm a skinhead, I have my reasons for not trusting journos. :lol:

Not as many as D12 with that disarming smile of his.

there's a difference between being skeptical and scoffing and spouting nonsense. someone's height isn't a matter of opinion anyway, you just measure the guy.
