Who will be the starting Power Forward Next Season? Two possible free agent choices.

Yeah, Brian Grant would be a GREAT addition to the Rockets. (Or) better yet, how about Oliver Miller? He is the best big man in the NBA............... HA HA, well enough joking, I just hope the Rockets find someone who's young, talented, and can get the job done.

 

I think Cato should play the pf for the rockets. I have heard many experts say that he plays more like a 4 than a 5.

 

Hello all,
Kenny Thomas is a small forward that's in need of a diet. He can shoot, pass, rebound, post up, and even put the ball on the floor. If he loses some weight, let's say from the 250-260 he's at now to around 230-240, he should be able to start or be able to split time at the 3-4 spot. That makes Cato our PF and limited center. What we need IMO are a starting center (Hakeem will be back-up and mentor if he doesn't retire), a small forward free-agent (need veteran here; KT can get minutes at 3-4 as back-up to free agent and Cato), and maybe another PF (adios Massenberg). I know that some other players have to go to do this, but we need to be two deep at every spot to contend with Portland, LA and San Antonio. What does everybody else think.

Brian Grant would fit nicely into the Rockets system. Jelani McCoy is also a FA and reminds me of a Cato, but has a bit of offense. If we can't sign a top PF then I think we should get one in the draft. Etan Thomas is a defensive star at Syracuse...could develop into a Brian Grant type of player. The ideal situation IMO would for the Rockets to sign Grant and then draft Chris Porter or DeMarr Johnson.

 

To qoute heypard who quotes Francis3,

"Kenyon Martin!!!!"


Brian Grant would be okay too.

 

Kenny doesn't appear overweight to me at all. I think he should do just the opposite -- add about 10 lbs of muscle, while not losing any of the quickness advantage he currently holds on other PFs. Trying to make him into a 3 would nullify his chief advantage, his quickness.

 

well with brian grant you have to question the guy's durablity. He seems to havent recover from his recent injuries and it was evident in the toronto game last night. Other then that, he a wonderfully talented player but his health will be a major concern.

 

CriscoKidd,

You make me laugh just by reading your name. You have a rare talent.

Give me a power veteran who can knock down the open jumper. Anything else would require too much money or force Rudy to change too much of his offensive philosophy. Then take Marcus Fizer in the draft and develop both KT and Fizer until substantial trade offers start coming in for one of them.

Whatever you do, your entire focus should be on no new big contracts. There is a better free agent crop coming out the following year. And we must be able to make Webber an offer in the event he decides he doesn't like smoking pot with Jason Williams anymore.

I know my capologist friends may come down on me that we have to have room to re-sign Mobley, SA, and Francis to big contracts, so we don't have the Dream windfall like we think. I say, we don't have any re-signings due that year except most likely Mobley. Hell, for Webber, I'd renounce Cuttin-nOs butt again and ask him to wait for a contract until after we sign .... Webber.

 

Bo Outlaw can't shoot and does not know how to make any ind of offensive move. He could only provide a few rebounds and blocks - we have that. I think Eric Meeks would work well. And he would be cheap.

 

heypartner,

Don't most people think that there is some type of "wink" deal with SA to redo his contract after the first 2 years are up?

Mango,

No...SA doesn't get Full Bird status for three years. His Bird status re-started when he switched teams via free agency.
