    Not trying to start rumors because I think he just lives in Houston, but I saw Shawn Kemp at the Texans game today.
    He looked like he was in great shape. Any interest from the Rox about trying him out in the preseason.
    Here is a link about how he is trying for a comeback:
    http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2002398938_kemp24.html

    I know he is no savior,but his role could be better than what Weatherspoon or Baker was going to add and at a very cheap price.

    Just asking, not really requesting they sign him, but like I said he looked like he was in great shape and he was always a solid rebounder.
    He might be a decent 11th-12th man in case of injuries.

    Kemp does live in Houston and is trying to make a comeback. But I don't think the Rockets will show any interest at all, Kemp is done.

    Is your brother scared of the internet or are you just trying to steal the limelight?

    Dude what happened to your brother's face...kidding.

    It would be weird if we signed Kemp right after we released Baker....really weird.

    Had this been 2 years ago it wouldnt have been impressive to see Shawn Kemp everyone from a couple of miles away could see him

    In a related note, Kemp's 11 illegitimate children beat the Texans 56-3.

    I can't believe that next year all we'll have in Houston is the park formely know as Fame City. Whatever happened to Hanna Barbera Land?
