    I'd do it for a minimum contract. What's the harm?

    sure he can join uncle Mutumbo in the Rockets walker drills. See who can get their wheelchair up and down the court fastest doing their death valley drills.

    I am 100 percent certain he will return to Houston, nice way to finish his career plus I think we have a better chance at winning a championship than SA does as of right now.

    That's just because it was Nash. Big deal, those kinds of picks happen all the time. I'd rather the shots go toward other teams and not us.

    I like Bob, but I don't really see the need.

    Another ring to go on the mantle. This guy clearly wants another. I bet we sign him at minimum.

    Then we'll have a healthy line up to work with too I hope.

    I can smell a championship.

    If he is healthy and dedicates himself to being in shape then I would welcome him. Imagine the changeup he could provide at the 5 when Yao is on the bench. He can extend the defense and allow Scola or Landry to go to work down low. Horry is a great post entry passer too. It could work, if healthy. But there isn't much room on the roster for him.

    Who cares, for nostalgias sake yes. Absolutely yes. Bring back Cassell too and let me wet my pants.

    We know a trade that sends multiple players is coming, so I would not mind having a spot for Horry. He has height(something we lack), can spread the floor by hitting the "3" and can defend the post. WE don't need him to play big minutes, we just need him to play behind Yao(sometimes) or with Yao to spread the floor depending on who we play. He can still get up and down the floor. Everyone thought Deke could not play anymore, but look at what he did when Yao went out. Horry and Deke can still play in limited minutes... Forgot to mention he brings LUCK

    We would have to have a roster spot (which we don't have right now), he'd have to sign for the vet minimum, and like Ziggy said, rededicate himself to getting in NBA shape from the start of the season. If he would do that, and the other conditions allowed him to fit, then hell yes.

    I'll have him. R. Horry's never been out of the second round.

    As bad as Horry as become (probably the worst player in the playoffs last year besides Head) its like we're inferior to his success. It'll come out as "Pass on him he's too old" but really I'd be afraid the Rockets will be the team to break his streak :(

    Why not? Don't want to break T-Mac and Yao's first round curse? He said he had earned enough money and will sign as min salary.

    Yes, it would be nice to have him again, if he signs for the minimum.
