The Rockets Team report by Michael Murphy on the sporting news sight is out and tells of a few offseason moves. Basically the run down is Who's out: 1)BARKLEY-retirement; 2)DEVIN GRAY-How many games did he play 3)CATO-rubbed some in the organization the wrong way, lacking intensity, and constant complaining caused some referees not to make call when Francis and other went to the hoop. If he does not get his act together he is a gonner. 4)CARLOS ROGERS-its not that they didn't like him but he did not make the improvement they thought he was going to make at the beginning of the offseason. 5)HAKEEM-will see how he feels after offseason workout, I think he will be back DRAFT NEEDS 1)Small forward who shoots the ball and runs the floor that will compliment Francis and Mobely well SUGGESTIONS-MIKE MILLER 2)Shot blocking power forward SUGGESTIONS-SAYS KENYON MARTIN WOULD BE NICE 3)Center who could be the motivational equivalence to a Cattle Prod of Cato. FREE AGENTS-The main sell is on their style of play. 1)Rashard Lewis-definite possibility and nice fit. 2)Says somebody like the Mikki Moore types SUGGESTIONS:BO OUTLAW, AUSTIN CROSHERE, JAHIDI WHITE(obviously so he will no longer get embarassed by Francis in such a humiliating way. My take on it all is that Murph makes no mention of Cuttino and makes it sound like he will beack, Cato looks to be a gonner, what we draft will depend on the dialect between the Rocket and perspective free agents. Why not Cato, Drew, and Rogers for Duncan or hey maybe we draft Miller then send him packing to the Spurs with Cato and Drew for Duncan somehow coax Lewis back home to Houston if he does not come we would still have the Wiz. We know there will be trades and I think we are all anticipating one big one, hopefully Duncan. ------------------
