    Yes, another dead horse to pummel, but this is the first time I have seen this outside of this site. Lots of speculation is going around about Chicago trading down to either BOS or HOU. On bskball.com (I know, I know) it mentions the possibility of us giving 13 and 18 for the 4 which rocks, but it also mentions the 13 and Cato for the 4. UNBELIEVABLE!!! My God, can that happen? I think Cato is a big reason Olajuwon would want to go elsewhere. I'm sure his teammates are twice as disgusted with him as we are. I think I would even try to sweeten the deal by giving the 23 pick up as well as the Wizard if that would help close it. I would draft Diop, someone who would actually have the bulk to go toe to toe with Shaq, re-sign Dream, Mo and draft a 3. Getting rid of Cato and the Wizard would even allow some additional capspace to pursue a Marc Jackson and possibly a backup 2, would it not? maybe we could look something like this -

    C - Olajuwon, Diop, Jackson
    PF- Taylor, Thomas, Jackson
    SF- Langhi, Da Bull, #18 (Jefferson, Wallace, or Morris)
    SG - Cat, FA, #18, Franchise
    PG - Franchise, Moochie

    This looks good to me. It seems like a very adaptable line up. I love Chris Webber but I think he only fills one need when we can fill 2 or 3 this way.

    i don't know if langhi is ready to start yet. lon kruger coached cato in i think, so he may have interest in having cato play for him again.

    I remember someone saying they would trade him for a case of beer.

    Shoot, I would trade him for a case of herpes.

    RR,

    Don't take me too literally. I was just trying to stress my strong desire to have Cato move on.

    Smoothie,

    You are probably right, but he may get his chance. Personally, I hope a drafted SF would be able to start.

    I thought it was Tim Floyd that coached Cato?

    j-bone, you are correct. Krueger coached the Illini not Iowa St.

    Langhi starting is a joke. He first has to prove himself that he can play in the games and not just show off your moves in Practice.

    Wee neid Kato four the foture of the Rocketss Francise. He willl be the man that takes over after Hakeem Olajuwan leaves. Once Olajuwan is goone, it wil be time for the Katomic Bomb! Olajuwan should just retire and make roome for Calvin Kato.

    If we trade 13 and Cato for the number 4, the Rockets have just pulled one of the greatest coups in NBA history. I really can't believe that the Bulls are that stupid. If we do pick at 4, don't you think that Rodney White would be the pick? I saw Diop mentioned earlier, but I've heard he will fall to Boston and maybe even Seattle.
