Somehow I feel Cato may come back as backup C and PF with low price. That may explain why Rox wants to get rid of Stro. Any thoughts?
Cato and MJames would be nice Rafer - MJames - Head MJames - Head Tmac - Battier Cato - Howard Yao - Cato - Deke some offensive firepower. Defensive prowless on the front line Rocket River If we win 53 games. . it ain't impressive. .. . it ain't gonna make this trade a GOOD trade . .it is to be expected with improvement of Yao and Healthier team
Doc, I agree with you 100%. Just want to find something good out of that stupid trade. . Anyway, this is the team we love, we have to support Rox no matter what.
Cato sucked in offense, but his defense was quite solid. I do think he helped Yao a lot that year. If we can get him CHEAP,say less than 2M, why not?
well without stro, deke is our only backup center. he is going to retire at the end of next season. finding a F/C is a big priority since filling our need at the 2 is now taken care of.
I don't think his defense is that spectacular. I'd call it average for someone his size. Plus, if I am remebering correctly, you can't use the LLE 2 years in a row. Since the Rockets are over the cap, they could therefor only sign Cato by splitting up the MLE - which I'd rather see them use to try and get a player like Wilcox, or Bonzi (if there is no market for him), because I think they used their LLE last year.
