    I believe that was my point. Is Al worthy of us cutting one of the players? Whoever we cut will still be used for our salary cap and might complicate trade possibilities.

    Recovering - him and Okafor would be great signings later in the year. Nice pre playoff push!

    He is bad.

    But he is still better than Black & Decker.

    Al Harrington could wind up like Jason Terry and become productive.. It's worth the chance

    This is a good scoop from our only proven insider, not some riddle, utube video or vague tease about a buffet dinner.

    I believe he was a target at that time, and worth going after then. I doubt if he can help us now.

    Cutting any of our guard rotation for him would be a big talent downgrade for the sake of plugging a short term need if you ask me.

    If cutting Dorsey or Black instead, I can deal with that. At this point I think an elderly jump shooting power forward is still a clear upgrade at center relative to Dorsey.

    This seems like the kind of bad PR the Rockets avoid.

    Perhaps it's just Fegan using the Rockets name to generate interest.

    Another 6-9 FC. McHale wouldn't be happy.

    He's a Dan Fegan client?

    What favor do the Rockets have to do now? :p

    A desperate move although with little risk. Getting cut from the Chinese Basketball Association isn't a good sign.
