Spoke with Doc Rocket 5 minutes ago and he found out today Cuttino will be back for sure. Sounds like you can bank on it... so not sure what beef the Rockets had with Aldridge's report. Anyone know if there could be any benefits for the Rockets signing Cuttino after some unknown transaction? Since they're capped out I didn't think something like that would/could be the case... but that would make sense since Cat is still sounding uncertain. aelliot, davo... ? ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
Man, clutch, you and must read each other's minds. I just signed on to check out the latest on cuttino and here it is. Spooky. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
Clutch, Michael Murphy reports in his latest Sporting News article today that Cuttino is expected to sign a two year deal, not a six as David Aldridge reported. Could the salary terms still be what the Rockets were denying? http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/teams/rockets/ ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
I trust Michael Murphy a lot more than David Aldrige (still fuming over the Damon Stoudimire fiasco). So i'm trusting that Mobley (god bless him) is signing the 2 year deal, with the Rockets front office storing a big bag of money next to that of Shandon Anderson for safekeeping as well. Thanks for the insight guys. And WINK03, a 2 year deal isn't a bad thing simply because Mobley is counting on the big payoff when he is signed to an extension. ------------------
Someone will find out from Mobley today. He and Francis among others are at Channel 2 today for the Kim's Place telethon. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
clutch...still doesn't make sense why they would deny it unless confirmation locks them into the contract while terms are still being negotiated. I simply cannot figure any harm from salary cap perspective, so it must be simply a bargaining issue between Rockets and Mobley's agent. By the way...it is all a moot point now, cause we GOT THE CAT!!!!!! That's all that matters. wink3 no, this won't repeat because Mobley with have Full Bird rights next time if he stays with the Rockets.

Thanks, Clutch. Man, so now that Mobes has unofficially signed with the Rocks, when do we start our rant on how he hogs the ball and makes dumb plays? Azim da Dream ------------------ We don't live for the destination. We live for the journey.
I hope its true! I'd love keep Mobley on the team. Mobley has a great work ethic, is fearless on the court, adds instant offense, and he plays with alot of heart. Come on Cuttino, say its so!!! ------------------
BANG! They're off!!! But hey... Mobley brought that FG% up the 2nd half of the season and started to be a reliable threat, so I can definitely, positively, without a doubt, say, with no regrets and no remorse that.... I might possibly be happy with Cat being back. ------------------ Just shut up and post
you and must read each other's minds? is that some sort of typo? oh well Cuttino Mobley is back , Damnit I shouldn't have burned all the basketball cards i had of him ------------------ President of the Rockets/Raiders Fan Club
Let me be the first to say 'waive him'. After he is signed, of course. ------------------ Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning? - Dubyah in Florence, SC. 01/11/2000
A 2 year deal makes alot of sense. After that we will have full Bird rights on Cuttino, and can sign him to a big contract afterwards. ------------------
Damn! Does that mean we can't sign Eddie Jones or Grant Hill? ------------------ I Want To Thank God For Making Me A Rocketfan
so now that he's signed, there's only one thing to do CUT TINO ------------------ Stuff BBS, the Rockets and you guys It's all Clippers these days, come join the bandwagon and visit http://www.ClippersCity.net
Word is Mobley didn't show. Plus, I'm assuming Ch 2 would have shown the interview with him or at least some video of him if he did. They did interview Francis and he said Vince Carter called Mobley today trying to persuade him. Hey Vince: mind your own bid'ness! Old School ------------------ Just Build It!
