I do not believe Hakeem is the real driving force behind all this. I think Fegan is the guy who wants Hakeem to leave and sign with another team, so he can get more money for MN & SA in Houston. He is the one who is making the Rockets renounce Dreams rigths in an effort for the Rockets to clear cap room to sign MN & SA + whatever player (Mo T). What is the Max another team can pay Dream? Option 1 Dream(Signing straight with another team) + Moochie(Signing with cap room) + Anderson (Signing with cap room)= More money than Option 2 Dream (traded to another team) + Moochie (Signing with Houston) + Anderson (Signing with Houston) Option 3 Dream + Moochie + Anderson (All of them with the rockets) I am not a cap expert, but if you add the salaries you can have the following order: Option 1 > Option 2 > Option 3 Just an opinion. ------------------
I agree. fegan is a rat. isn't he also the one that represents clemens? if dream leaves, he should be lynched. ------------------ houston rockets = 2 utah jazz = 0
I mentioned this about 2 weeks ago, BUT I'm pretty sure that Fegan is the agent for Rose, Bender, and Jermaine O'neal. In other words, I guess that he has a pretty good relationship with Donnie Walsh and, also, wants his players to play for a very good team. This is certainly speculation on the part of a Pacer fan, but I thought it could have some bearing 2 weeks ago, and even more so now. Fegan just reaped the benefits of JRose getting a max deal and will do the same with J.O. in 2 years, as for JB who knows, but in 3 years who knows. ------------------ http://jonathanbender.8m.com http://alharrington.8m.com http://jermaineoneal.8m.com
