    Do you know if there is a time limit for him to make a decision?

    Jeff, do you know if the Rockets are targeting any other FA besides our own. If so, who? Are we even able to sign any and still stay under the cap? Just curious.

    According to oeilpere's post, he's probably on a plane to Houston about now.

    As for other FA's, everything I've heard would seem to indicate they are focused only on their own at the moment. They should only have the $4.5 million exception left after their FA's are signed.

    If Hakeem leaves, they will probably close in on the cap just signing their own people anyway, meaning they really won't have much room either way.

    I think most people could kick his ass. The only thing stopping my nephew from kicking cato's ass is that he isn't past cato's knees yet.

    Jeff,

    I don't think the Rockets get the exception if they get under the cap. From what I understand, once they sign Hakeem to a smaller amount, they immediately lose their MCE.

    We should pay dream a max of 6 million and package a trade with Kenny Thomas (bad hands and the same spin move every year), Kelvin Cato (fat, lazy, do we need to say more), and Walt Williams (we need more defense and better shooting)

    ------------------
    Let go and let GOD!
