    We're attractive because of our cap room? I thought we were way over the cap.

    How much does Duncan make? Could we even get him in under the trade exemption?

    We are over the cap and will be next year.

    The max Duncan can make next year is $9 mil

    We could get Duncan via a sign & trade, for instance (please don't post telling me how unlikely this is, i've heard it all before and I'm only using it as an example) S.ntonio sign him for $9 mil and immediately trade to Houston for Walt Williams and our $4.5 mil trade credit.

    Dogbelly beat me to the punch. Duncan won't agree to a sign and trade unless its too a team he wants to go to.

    So, in this case, the player does get to choose where he wants to go

    a) get mobley to stay
    b) what a bout a three way deal... we can trade our guy to orlando and then quietly send duncan home here.... in houston with the youth that he'll love... he'll be running his ass off

    Hypothetical question :

    If (i hate if's but for the sake of dreaming I don't care ) Duncan was to come to H-town what do you guys think his average would be ? about 24 to 28 a game ? and Francis in the 18 to 24 per game ? would that be awsome or what ! Rudy T. has a great chance this Summer during the olympics to try to sell the Rockets to him... we never know guys but if Rudy T. is a good salesman we might have Tim Duncan here next yr... would that be awsome or what !!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Hakeem for all the memories and the 2 championships...
    The torch has been passed... Francis , the making of brand new
    great memories for us rocket fans !
