Great news for Geron.

Tiger1983 · 10-23-2014 12:36 PM

The Tiger tandem will fuel the Rockets. Congrats!

I was pleasantly surprise that Joey Dorsey got some ESPN hightlights last night on their game

oldmangrizz · 10-23-2014 12:46 PM

So that makes Joey Dorsey, Tarik Black, and Geron Johnson all on the Houston Rockets roster. You could have posted that prediction on this board last spring and someone would have called the men in the white coats carrying butterfly nets to come get you.

I agree.
I read on one of the NBA sites that several GMs called Geron the most athletic and quickest rookie they'd seen over the summer.

I thought g signed with the Rio Grande vipers.

very cool

snowtiger · 10-23-2014 02:25 PM

Geron. In his last interview that I heard, he talked about coming back to Memphis and living here.

Cletus · 10-23-2014 02:34 PM

Wow; good news

So how many former Tigers are in the NBA now(or just got waived from training camp)? Seems like a lot.

Derrick Rose - Bulls
Shawne Williams - Heat
Elliot Williams - 76ers
Tarik Black - Rockets
Joey Dorsey - Rockets
Geron Johnson - Rockets
Will Barton - Blazers
Chris Crawford - Cavs (waived)
Joe Jackson - Suns (waived)
CDR - Clippers
Tyreke Evans - Pelicans
Earl Barron - Suns
DJ Stephens - Pelicans
Adonis Thomas - Pacers

Not a bad track record. Did I miss anyone? Also note that 8 of the players on this list played under Pastner, who many have criticized about his ability to get players to the NBA.

MemphisTigerFreak · 10-23-2014 03:04 PM

I probably missed it but DJ signed with the Pelicans?

I was wondering the same thing about DJ.

Here's a link to the Houston forum where they discuss the signing of Geron...interesting stuff and some great vids of Geron

Houston will be very happy they signed Geron. That decision will make someone look like a genius.

83msu · 10-23-2014 04:36 PM

Really happy for him. He was one of my favorites from that team. Did not know he said negative things about Pastner?

bluebacker · 10-23-2014 04:52 PM

Great for Geron! I hope he gets to play some meaningful minutes.

idroot4russia · 10-23-2014 04:58 PM

It's gonna suck when the Rockets cut Joey and keep Tarik since they basically do the same thing only Joey has been in the league longer and would require a bigger minimum contract.

Do you believe everything that is written on this board. People on this board that hate Pastner love to take cheap shots at him.
