    I am so worried about our center position we have a guy that will start for us that is injury prone, and lazy, and then our backup center is a bum who is soft just like cato. We need a rugged player at that position and i guess the only one available is Jahidi White even though he is a fat ass and way undersized.
    Another thing we must sign Moochie Norris, why is it taking so long?We have no depth at Shooting Guard which worries me a bit. If everything goes towards I hope it goes our roster will be like this

    Francis Mobley Rice Taylor Cato
    Norris Francis Langhi Griffin White
    Thomas Collier

    You might be right, but the Rockets won't need any help at that position once Moochie signs. Cuz Steve, Cat, and Moochie rotate at that position. Plus there's Langhi who played pretty well at that position in the summer league.

    Who is this other "Francis" person? Is he related to Steve??

    Maybe you discovered a way to clone Steve Francis and send two of him on the court?

    Wow, two Stevie Franchises...talk about the best backcourt in the NBA...

    Moochie's signing has to be the last thing done, for salary cap reasons. We have his Early Bird rights so we can sign him above the cap. As for the center position, I say give Cato a chance. He has an NBA body, can block shots like a madman when motivated, promised to lead the league in rebounding;) , and is no longer under Olajuwon's shadow. It is time for Kelvin to shape up or ship out. But, like I said the ROX aren't done dealing and the center position is the only one left to be addressed.

    I think Cato is a fair enough center, he has far more potential than the guys Phoenix, Orlando, Utah, Minnesota, and possibly Milwaukee put on the floor last year. They all got farther than we did with Olajuwon last year. The center position is not something you should be too worried about, the average starting NBA center is not capable of dropping 30 on Cato.

    What summer league were you watching??? I can't believe how many people think Langhi can play the 2. HE CAN"T AND SHOULDN'T unless you want some no-name CBA reserve blowing by him for layups and open jumpers non-stop duing his 7-8 minutes a game.
