As in Antonio Davis... I say go after Davis hard if we fail to get Webber... The one thing the Rockets lacked toughness... Davis would easily be the toughest Rocket... Every team has an enforcer/rebounder who will make sure the paint is his... I really don't think we had any physical PF or C... We have been missing one since Otis Thorpe... I don't care how the zone MIGHT help Mo's game... We need rebounding, shot blocking and some balls... Mo has no balls... ------------------ "Awesome baby!" Dick Vitale
I like Davis a lot but he is 32. If you are going to sign someone to go with players in their 20's, you should sign someone in his 20's. Davis is going to be looking for a long-term contract and I wouldn't want to give that to a guy who is 8 to 10 years older than his average teammate. ------------------ And then, depression set in...
yeah, he's gettin' on up there, but what do we do w/ Mo? ------------------ C-son --------------------- Dream on
Sign Mo and trade for DALE Davis. That would be sweet. I couldn't care less about Webber if the Rockets pulled that off... ------------------ Turn Lives Protrolls.com!
It seems like just yesterday he was the "Young" Davis on the Pacers. If we could get both of them(We would lose out on Shandon, if this happened) that would be great. That would give us a pretty good frontcourt of Mo, Davis, Dream(Hopefully), Cato, Thomas, Collier, Draft. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
So Charles Barkley was not tough or a rebounder? ------------------ "Of course, thats just my opinion, I could be wrong" -- Dennis Miller
I love Davis' game. He is older though. I think that Davis will be all locked up by the time we get through tryimg to lure Webber. There are a bunch of teams after him this offseason. ------------------ HEAD KNIGHT: We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'. KNIGHTS OF NI: Ni! Shh! HEAD KNIGHT: Shh!

Not to mention that Dale has absolutely no shooting touch from outside 3 feet. Antonio has developed a nice jumper over the last few years. ------------------ President of the Anal Retentive School for Jerks Hey, I wanted to be president of something, and I swear everyone took every other presidential position already.
Could we try to get PJ BROWN? Shandon + Cato - [don't charlotte need a SG?] Cato could back up Campbell [knowing them they would try to tack on derrick colemon though] Rocket River ------------------
Anyone know what PJ Brown's current contract looks like? I don't think he is a free agent this year, is he? I would not mind at all a player like Brown. Someone who can rebound and play defense from the 4 spot would really complement this team. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
Antonio Davis is not as good as Maurice Taylor. Offensively, Davis is not good, and only scores in double digits because he's the second option on the Raptors. He is not worth what he's gonna ask and I'd rather have Taylor. ------------------ Founder and President of the Houston Homers Club(HHC) - Are you a homer? Join now! The Rockets will be NBA champions. Believe.
I agree with Jeff. Keep Mo... yeah, Davis is a better rebounder but he's older, and won't supply a threat from the post. It's not like we're going to win a championship the next couple of years - younger is better. ------------------ I would believe only in a God who could dance. - Friedrich Nietzsche Boston College - NCAA Hockey National Champions 2001
Damn I didn't realize Antonio was that old. I thought he was along with Webber. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
I agree with Puedlfor, haven and Jeff ------------------ You can put it on the BOARD.......YESSSSSSSSS! Chicago White Sox Announcer Ken Harrelson
Whatever happens, the Rockets need to pick up a veteran. Someone outside of Hakeem with at least 10 years experience would be nice. Dale Davis, or Antonio Davis, would fill that role nicely. ------------------ Turn Lives Protrolls.com!
Davis is a better rebounder, and I think what we need most is a good rebounder to go with cat and Stevie. ------------------ Visit www.StockSurge.net for your guide for investing and the Stock Market!
mo, no question hes only 24 yrs old.. and rapidly improving..while i like davis too if we miss out on webber i want to reup mo no question..then go after a marc jackson/ad type to backup mo/dream ------------------ How Sweet It Is! How Sweet It Is! Gene Peterson on the rockets winning the 1995 championship over the Orlando Magic
It seems so long ago when we had Olajuwon, Barkley AND Kevin Willis off the bench... If we had a frontline like that this year, we win close to 60 games... ------------------ "Awesome baby!" Dick Vitale
