[QUOTE]With his playing time scarce and time running out on his contract, Rockets guard Luther Head was waived on Saturday to beat the deadline for players to be eligible for the postseason.

Head will likely be replaced on the roster by high-scoring NBA Development League forward James White of the Anaheim Arsenal. The Rockets were close to signing White to a 10-day contract, a person with knowledge of the move said on Saturday, and White was held out of Saturday’s game.[/QUOTE]

maybe he can come to the Lakers and we can make shirts with his photo on it that say "Gimme some head".

[COLOR="White"]I bet some LA or Boston fan would say.. "I hope we sign him"..[/COLOR]

wtf?????? why he's a solid shooter, White better be good

[COLOR=White]I sure hope Boston doesn't sign him.[/COLOR]

If Head was as good in real life as he is in NBA 2k9, he would be a top 5 point guard in the league. Too bad in real life actually being able to run an offense is important. He's young and talented though, I expect to see him get picked up soon by a contender as a shooter off the bench.

I hope he finds a spot. I love Luther. He is something special.

Lakers could use a 3pt shooter....

Luther to Cleveland

I hope he goes to the Suns or Knicks. They're fire away offense could really revive his career. Also, with the Suns it'll be great to see him in orange again. Also there's a lot of Illini Alumni in Arizona, as Jerry Colangelo is an Illini.

Two seasons ago he was a at-least-1-three-pointer-a-game guy. Now he's out of the job.

Some NBA teams that need a three-points shooter will sign he soon, I hope......

We need his three point shooting bad on the Grizzlies. Hopefully we scoop him up. I made a Free Luther Head thread a couple months ago. I hope where ever he goes, he finds some playing time.

And in Live 09.

I wonder where he will end up...I can see him playing a few(5-10) minutes for a championship team this year. And possibly help close up the season and take more minutes to rest the big names.

Rockets' front office suing Jeff in 3.. 2.. 1..

Im just hoping for De'Cody F.agg decides basketball is the way to go just for the outside chance hes ever traded for Rudy Gay. Id like ot see someone on sportscenter act like it isnt funny.

Rockets don't get head, although __________ do.

Thank god someone else was on board this trolley!

A better headline would be: "Rockets don't want Head after being screwed by Mcgrady."

I want Head
Give me Head now.

Give me Head now.
Till Im dead, Give me Head.

You're half-right.

The Rockets did this as a courtesy to Luther Head. He obviously didn't fit into their plans any longer, and that happens in pro sports, even to capable players.

Just two years ago, Luther averaged 10.9 points, 3.2 boards and 2.4 assists for a 50-win team, and was fourth in the league in 3pt% at .441 and sixth in 3pt field goals with 177. He didn't get worse in the meantime, I promise you. He's 26 years old, hasn't lost any athleticism in the last two years (though he's not the athlete [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnXiua66KbE&feature=related"]he was in high school [/URL]before injuries in his [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV4nCRrUp94&feature=related"]early years at Illinois[/URL] forced him into becoming a more skilled player)

In other words, he's capable of contributing to a good team and brings an elite specific skill with him in his outside shooting. If you can do something at that high of a level like Luther can, you're going to have a job.
