    I was just told by a good source, that Rockets are looking at Shawn Kemp. They said hes looking at coming out of retirement, and that he's in great shape. Looks more like the old kemp....I dont know if this is a good idea...take it for what it is...

    Did this come from the Toyota Center members that you work with?

    Just to put this in perspective, the last thing he told us was that the Rockets had asked Eddie Griffin to come back.

    Eddie Griffin never came back to the Rockets.

    That doesn't necessarily mean NBAHOU713 was lying, but my personal opinion is that the new claim is about as probable to happen as the last one.

    The parallel is that in both cases, there had been reports in the media which would make it easy to make a claim like this...

    Makes sense. He lives here in Houston. He has lost a lot of weight(pictures don't lie). If he impresses, he impresses. I trust JVG and CD will know whether he's worth the risk or not.

    Unless there is a link from a reliable source or if you're Doc Rocket, I will ignore your "source".

    I've heard from a good source that Shawn Kemp likes to impregnate women.

    I for one not that against the idea having him in case Deke bails for higher bid. All we need from him is good 10 to 15 min a game. From the article it says he is in good shape. The only thing I am concerned is his decency.

    Actually, it really does look like NBAHOU713 has inside connections... I still hope we don't pick up Shawn Kemp.

    Is this the same guy that works at TC who told you that Sura was going to be out at least half the season?

    Okay, calm down, I believe you. I just hope it won't happen. We already have Vin Baker, why would we add Kemp...
