    Hey there all crazy Rockets fans!
    I'm a another crazy Rockets fan from Israel, I want to express my opinion on something, we have a player here in Maccabi Tel Aviv (our "national" team who won the European championship a week ago), and his name is Nate Huffman, he is 26 year old,7-0 Ft Center (USA), who wants to play in the NBA ( the guy has an NBA logo tatto on his arm (!) ) and he was crowned the best player in Europe by coaches and fans (check more on him on www.suproleague.com), anyway the guy wants to see playtime on the court before he sings with an NBA team,otherwise he'll stay here, but he's very very very good: He can Post great, rebound, runs the floor great, block and offcourse defend great (but he's main power is in offence), He even has good range outside the paint. My idea is trade Cato and try to sign him, they won't be sorry, and I will be so happy seeing him play for my Favorite team.
    Again, he can get more money Israel, but he really wants a 20+ min play time in an NBA team, I think he will fit perfectly the team, he runs fast, and in a team like the Rockets, running is needed, and he can finish good drives by Francis, Mobley etc. He is a very very very good and solid player here, every night he's giving 18 - 25 points, and 10-13 reb.

    Nate agent claims 6 NBA teams are intrested.
    I heard Houston and Goldon State are after him, do anybody else knows something ?

    didnt know that there were rockets fans outside of US. Nice to see that the Rockets are getting some run in the international community. [​IMG] Maybe this Nate dude can become the next Dirk Nowistski and from the description given he would give a lot of EFFORT on the court something Cato has lacked for most of the season.

    You should see the CC.net chat. Sometimes we have people from Kuwait, Mexico, Malaysia, Costa Rica, and Israel in there. And then there's ZRB from the planet Lovetron.

    For all you Nate Huffman fans out there, he played for Central Michigan in the US. Here are some links for you :

    Isn't this the dude who tried out for us last year? Maybe he wanted about 3 million and we didn't have it? The Rockets were very quiet about him but I'm sure he tried out. Anyone remember this?

    I seem to remember people mentioning he played for the Clippers and if the Clippers cut him, how good could he be? (Of course, all Huffman had to do was ask for another $5 on his contract and Donald Sterling would send him packing.)

    Deja Vu!

    I think we all know a bit about Huffman.
