    JC's option was not picked up by the Rox. Ooops, my bad -- JC is badder than I thought.

    Unfortunately, we still might keep him. He is scheduled to make over a million dollars next year so it would be cheaper to not pick up the option and negotiate with him as a free agent.

    I'm kind of lost. You guys say JC is no longer in the roster.

    For next year. Since Collier is a 1 rounder he has a 4 year contract with the 4th being the rockets option.

    No -- Collier's option for NEXT season was not picked up. He is unrestricted FA after this season.

    This explained why JC got time in the last game.

    How? To prove once more that he sucks more than anything has sucked before?

    Hate to be mean, but did you guys catch that hook shot he threw up against the Pacers? Now that was the true definition a bad shot!

    I don't believe this is correct. Even without picking up year 4, the Rockets have Full Bird Rights for Collier. He is a Restricted FA next summer.

    The only thing that not picking up the option does is creates the opportunity for other teams to make an offer sheet .

    I know Collier is one of the most hated Rockets on this board, but he will be in the league next year just as Langhi is this year.
