Rockets waive Josh Harrellson
I think he would be a solid pickup for the minimum. He's only 23, he's 6'10, 275.
Didn't get alot of minutes for the Knicks, but when he played, he seemed to be productive with his defense and rebounding. He wasn't great offensively, but surprisingly he shot 34% from beyond the arc (made 20 out of 59 3's)
His overall numbers were 4.4 pts, 4 rebounds in 15 mpg
Per 36 minutes, he averaged 10.8 pts, 9.6 boards, 1.3 blocks
His offensive/defensive rating was 105/98 compared to the Knicks 104/101 and his win shares per 48 minutes was 0.127 which is pretty good.
He only shot 42% from the field (did shoot a few threes) and 61% from the FT line. His total shooting was 51% which is ok and his eFG% wsa 49% which isn't that great.

He was actually drafted by the Hornets in 2011 but was traded for cash to NY.
He is young so why not?
We need a third center anyway.
Either Harrellson or Whiteside are ok with me.
I think right now if anything we go after a point guard!
I would rather Harrellson because he is a harder worker.Originally Posted by AUSSIE_HORNET
Definitely worth a look for the minimum.

Jason Smith had similar overall numbers in his rookie season. I'd bet Monty could bring some good minutes out of Harrellson.
He will be a good add to training camp competion....another Kentucky addition....our new mascot wildcats lol

If nothing else I think it would be a good idea just for depth. If he made the team I don't think he would ever see the floor unless of an injury.
Been following Hornets games for a couple of years off and on but never considered myself a serious fan. The only NBA team I've seen in person at that. Now that they drafted Davis and Miller I'm finally officially becoming a fan all the way up in Lexington Kentucky. So hey its not a bad thought! haha
Man I am all about it! Haha
You can take a man outta Kentucky...but you can't take the Kentucky outta a man!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems like Goose 2.0 to me, as far as play style.
Extract from the BobcatsPlanet 2013 NBA draft lotto chat:

[05-21, 20:57] ncstamey: it's not rigged... it just sucks
[05-21, 20:57] Bobcat4Ever: it's rigged mother f****r don't argue with me
I wouldn't be opposed to signing Harrellson, but it seems like Whiteside has more upside and for the league minimum, I want the guy with the higher ceiling.
How can you only see on NBA team in person?

sadly I read it and knew what he meant and didn't think twice.
Honestly I don't even know what you mean. Now I feel dumb.
Edit -
Ah.... I get it. You know what I mean. Haha got some wise guys on here.

I disagree. Harrellson, IMO, has more potential with us because we have Ryan Anderson, and they are a lot alike. It would be great if they worked out together because Anderson can teach a lot to him. Harrellson will be a center on this team though not a PF, but he has a big body.

Maybe it was a practice ! Normally a nba game has two teams haha
Well it was the Hornets vs the Cavs without LeBron so I don't consider them a real NBA team.
Alot of Knick fans really hated him because he took ridiculous amounts of 3s. So who knows.
I BELIEVE IN YOU BRIAN ROBERTS
Well if Anderson can't help him, Monty wont let him take 3s.
Big boy got angry!
I think the team needs some Smith insurance and am all for picking up a stretch 4 to develop. Next year Smith could get dumped if Demps can convince a max player to come here and even if that doesn't happen Smith will probably get a big pay raise in 2 years, possibly more than the Hornets are willing to pay for a bench player.
Sorry about all the videos, but had to post this. Hardworker, apparently.
