I'm referring to a current or historic player who basically robbed the Rockets for his paycheck without a mask or gun in broad daylight with no accomplices? 1. Kelvin Cato (2 blocks in preseason - translates to $6 mln per year) 2. Matt Maloney (Date/marry the coaches (Rudy) daughter, it's on) 3. Derrick Chevious (Once they figured he couldn't shoot, it was a wrap) 4. Joe Barry Carroll 5. Little "Mark" Price - I can only go right 6. Hasheem Thabeet 7. Jordan Hill - Once every 5 games I show up 8. Charles Barkley - 1 semi good year and play fat throughout 9. Yao Ming - Don't get mad, he was injured for 3 of last seasons in the NBA 10. Tmac - Our favorite whipping boy
Barkley played for less than his market value. To put Yao on the list is totally unfair. T-Mac was undoubtedly a max player. The jury is still out on Jordan Hill. You forgot Mo Taylor.
Barkley should be removed. Who on that list was critical to beating the Seattle SuperSonics and taking the Rockets back to the Western Conference Finals? <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HMThtpLABn4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 1996-97 Houston Rockets NBA $4,695,000 1997-98 Houston Rockets NBA $2,250,000 1998-99 Houston Rockets NBA $1,000,000 1999-00 Houston Rockets NBA $9,000,000 http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/1999.html Rk Player Salary 1 Hakeem Olajuwon $12,943,000 2 Scottie Pippen $11,000,000 3 Brent Price $2,240,000 4 Charles Barkley $1,000,000
I don't think t-Mac or Yao should be on there. T-Mac was worth the money consistently putting up great numbers and taking us to the play offs with not much support. But I can't believe you did not put Scottie pippen on this list. He should be top 3
REMOVE BARKLEY PLEASE. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-x6PMj9rIeU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Who here helped the Rockets beat Seattle and take them to the WCF? (note the last WCF we've been to) Who here is top 50 hall of famer and former MVP? Please actually look up the salaries before you make this thread, I'm disappointed in you dude. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/barklch01.html 1996-97 Houston Rockets NBA $4,695,000 1997-98 Houston Rockets NBA $2,250,000 1998-99 Houston Rockets NBA $1,000,000 1999-00 Houston Rockets NBA $9,000,000 He's probably the best steal the Rockets ever had salary wise.
Has to be Scottie Pippen. Watching Scottie waste away the last real year the Rockets had a chance was/is unforgivable. Tmac got hurt, Scottie just gave up. We were picked to be the Champions that year. Not San Antonio! Im getting angry just thinking about that season.
The behind the back pass from Pippen to Barkley was the best thing Scottie did for our team that whole year.
