HOUSTON -- Hakeem Olajuwon's new agent says there is no doubt Olajuwon's NBA career will continue, perhaps even with Houston Rockets.

Olajuwon's $16.5 million contract with Houston expired at the end of the season, making him a free agent.

``He wants to play another couple of years and if things work out he'll be a Rocket when he retires,'' agent Dan Fegan told KRIV-TV on Wednesday.

``I believe there's enough good will on both sides built up over a great career, a great tradition of basketball in Houston that we're going to really have to sit down and listen to what the Rockets have to say before we do anything,'' Fegan said.

Talks with the Rockets, and other teams who might be interested in Olajuwon, won't begin until July 1, Fegan said.

HOUSTON – Hakeem Olajuwon has hired a top NBA agent to help him check the marketplace as he enters free agency for the first time.

Dan Fegan says there's still a market for Olajuwon in the NBA and there's no doubt he'll be playing somewhere next season.

But, Fegan says, there will be no talks with the Rockets or anyone else until July 1.

Olajuwon's five-year contract with Houston expired after this season.

The 7-foot center, who came out of the University of Houston in 1984, averaged 11.9 points in 58 games this season.


Just out of curiosity, who was Olajuwon's last agent, and why did he get a new one.
