http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/845346 Cato expecting to have impact By JODY GOLDSTEIN Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle In the second year of a six-year, $42 million contract, center Kelvin Cato was starting to look like one of the biggest busts in Rockets history. Too bad he's in the first year of the deal....and Pippen is still a bigger bust. ------------------ The Serious Police are watching. Follow the rules or be assimilated. Shandon is underrated.
HAHA! I guess if you just look at a newspaper clipping you would think it's the 2nd year of the deal, but if you are a fan and/or a journalist that did your research you would know that Cato signed an EXTENSION! It's shoddy reporting like this that just makes me flip out! And you're completely right that Quitten was the biggest bust, that makes it look WORSE! My god. . . ------------------ Rocks2001 in disguise. . .
I don't know if you could say Pippen was a bigger bust. At least Pippen had a few credentials to back him up. Cato had zero but yet we still signed him to this huge contract. I do agree Pippen was the worst pickup and had the least class, but at least we only had to deal with him for a year. And look on the bright side, we did ship him off to Portland, which has hurt their cap space. But WHY did the Rockets have to turn around and make a bigger mistake with Cato??? ------------------ Nice guys finish last ... and im surely not going to finish last!
