... the NBA worked like ClutchCity posters seem to believe it does? 1. Even though the Rockets didn't make the playoffs this year, they are a team with a "winning tradition" and will attract all the top free agents, and players will demand to be traded here. 2. Rudy will find a way to trade a couple hotdogs for the number 1 pick. 3. The rebuilding process would take no more than a single season... at least for Houston. 4. Cato will become a 20/10 man next season, playing backup to Tim Duncan, acquired for Bryce Drew, Walt Williams, and the $4.5 exception. 5. And finally, the Rockets will contend for the title next year, but even if they win it, the leauge and the rest of the world wouldn't care because the city of Houston just doesn't get respect from anyone... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
