    From Fox Sports, http://www.foxsports.com/nba/hou/teamreport.sml :

    <HR WIDTH=75%>
    There have been no decisions or offers made, but look for Stais Bozeman and Alex Jensen to be the most likely unsigned players from the Rockets summer league team to be invited to training camp. ... Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich leaves for Maui and the Olympic team training camp next week. Assistant coach Mike Wells will serve as a scout/video coordinator and Keith Jones will serve as the team's trainer.

    The Rockets did not consider Jason Collier an instant answer anymore than did the fans they shocked with the selection.

    But in considering the first impression left by the summer league work, Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich talked about the additions of Collier and Dan Langhi much as fans have -- with the added optimism that the process could be hastened for Collier by the fit with the Rockets.

    "With most big players it does take some time," Tomjanovich said. "We like Jason Collier. He's a guy that I think fits with guys like Steve (Francis) and Cuttino (Mobley), penetrators, because he's a guy that pull guys out like Shaq (O'Neal) and (Alonzo) Mourning from the basket.

    "Langhi has been a very big positive. He can give us some help at the small forward. It's an area we're looking for growth. I think we're going to see progress there."

    Thx for the info. Well, that report confirms what Doc Rocket's been sayin... the Rockets are MO's first choice... the only thing holding him back is that lil b**** called Falk.

    I like that last little phrase:
    "Langhi has been a very big positive. He can give us some help at the small forward. It's an area we're looking for growth. I think we're going to see progress there."


    Pop the bottles now, or later....I thought Walt was instrumental to our future? Sorry, just basking in glory of Walt being traded, or benched, it doesn't really matter.
