    OK, its obvious we have a serious need at center, and that our rebuilding is not done, and as the trading deadline grows closer, does anyone have any information on what moves the Rockets are interested in doing to address this need, who they might wish to acquire, and who we might trade to obtain them?

    Are the Rockets showcasing KT, Torres, Cato, and Williams for trade? Or just giving guys experience... are we waiting until this summer to make our next moves, or is there anything they can still do this winter?

    I think we're all in a NEED TO KNOW spot right now... and it would be great if anyone has any inside scoops to pass on to the rest of us loyal fans.

    HELP! We need some juicy tidbits and HOPE to get through this low spot... We do believe!

    I, personally, haven't heard jack squat and I've been asking. The Rockets have said in public, repeatedly, that they aren't interested in making any moves and, with all the injuries, I can't imagine that they are in any position to bargain.

    It seems to me that the more injured you are, the more difficult your position not just because you have a lot of injured players but because other teams can smell desperation and want to hold you over a barrel. The Rockets seem content to stay the course for now but nothing would surprise me.

    Thanks Jeff for your feedback on this. I was afraid of that ...

    But if anyone else has heard what the Rocket's staff is thinking, not only about what we are wishing to do now, but also this upcoming summer, and where we are at in our rebuilding process, I'm sure we'd all love to hear something.
