    Here's why:

    1. The ramifications of the strong possibility Hakeem could leave..

    2. The fact Steve Francis, our new "franchise player" is entering his third season and should be entering superstar status as his improvement continues..coupled with tag team partner, Cuttino's improvement. I truly feel our backcourt duo will only get that much better!!!

    3. Last season showed we are on the rise.

    4. The team has several enticing options to improve. The decision involved could be the difference in regular deep playoff team with championship showings or consistent 1st round and out or late lottery team for the next several years.

    5. We may be able to get rid of Cato this year!!! -

    The most important offseason in Rockets history was when we held the first pick in 1984.

    I think it was most significant offseason, but this is the most important because past is past and the future is what I'm concerned about!

    it's also important because we're trading steve francis for matt maloney.

    This summer could be the official line between past and future for the Rockets. It sounds like Hakeem may actually leave (unless his monetary demands drop considerably), and Steve will definitely establish his dominance this season, as will Cuttino Mobley. The other moves we make will be remembered for a,ong time, as they will greatly effect our playoff hopes for years to come. Cap space is a rare luxury,
    we have to be careful how we spend it.
