    " Actually Brahma, he has privately expressed interest in playing here, hence you
    don't see any of this on NbAtalk or anything. If the Rockets could clear enough cap
    room, we'd be the logical choice, IMHO.

    Once you get past the cap space issue,
    Criteria:
    *Young competitive nucleus
    *Warm-weather

    Out of the teams with cap space that eliminates Chicago, immediately. Leaves you
    with Orlando and Houston. I would say we are ahead of the Magic in terms of our
    rebuilding plan. Francis,Anderson,Mobley,Thomas ahead of
    Armstrong,Mercer,Doleac,etc.

    Perhaps Drew was not traded prior to the deadline in order to use him as bait this
    offseason? Whatever happens, I do have a feeling that Cato will be traded this
    summer."

    thacabbage,

    You cited confidental source(s) when that thread was active in February.

    For you to post in July and stick your neck out with the same prediction means that you have been in recent contact with your source(s).

    Wow. The dream is still alive. Lately you know I've been thinking a lot about that. I heard Duncan's meeting with Popovich went TERRIBLE yesterday, and that Pop literally accused Duncan of cheating and having talks with the Magic while he was under contract. And even with all the Grant Hill and McGrady saga in Orlando, it has been very quiet in the Duncan camp. Not much has been said like Hill and T-mac have. I've been curious if maybe another team (Houston?) could swipe in and take Duncan, because he doesn't seem sold on Orlando and after yesterday he doesn't seem sold on San Antonio either.

    Mango: I can't escape the "Serious Police" can I? [​IMG]

    I'm starting to doubt all of this myself, as reports from Almu, Doc Rocket, and Clutch have all been contrary to my reports. I can tell you that it a lot less likely than it was back in February.

    However, I still have hope.

    EG:
    [*]Had the Rockets made a draft day trade moving Cato and others to move up in the draft, that would put an end to this as we would then have no trade bait to offer San Antonio.
    [*]All we have been hearing about is Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, Eddie Jones....not much about Duncan except for that trip to Orlando. He seems to be the guy "waivering" as most reports have it.


    Pray.

    brama rocket,

    By sticking it out with the Spurs trying to repeat as Champs. Mario Elie may be gone, Sean Elliot and David Robinson's skills are fading, Duncan's the only sure thing they have left. [​IMG]

    while i don't see it as a wise move for his future, look for tim to announce either today or tuesday his intentions to stay in san antonio.

    tim, IMO, will never, ever, be a rocket. it's not in his personality to do something that controversial (going to the chief rival of san ant.)

    So is there or is there NOT a 3:00 press conference? It said that at the beginning of this thread, but I there was no link and I have not seen that on any other site.

    Actually, I read about the 3:00 Friday press conference on nbatalk.com. Apparantly, someone who worked at a drive thru pharmacy (I think) overheard a Spurs executive on his cell phone saying that there was going to be a press conference last Friday at 3:00.
