    Allan Houston will be a serious possibility. I ddont think he wants to go back to NY and play for a team who keeps on wanting to sign and trade him and he probably doesn't like having to be squeezed between Rice,LJ,and Spree. He would be an AWSOME player for us because of his shooting.A lineup of Francis,Mobley,Houston,Griffen, and Cato or Miller would be a DEFINITE contender.

    Too many small players AND Houston's contract is a bit too heafty for my tastes. I think he's a great player, though.

    We have absolutely no need for Houston. The last thing we need is to have to make another player happy by getting him shots.

    Houston's too one dimensional to be targeted by Houston. If they took on another 2, it would be a guy who could play some defense and wouldn't need many shots or minutes(sort of like Shandon Anderson, but without the inflated ego).

    Houston needs shots, he needs minutes, and he'll be upset if he doesn't get enough of either... and I don't think any of us want to be paying 8 mill a year or so for a glorified Eddie Johnson.

    The thing is, it would be really a choice between Mobley and Houston. The Rockets wouldn't have both.

    Allan Houston is a good player, but we have absolutely no need for his services.

    No way we sign Houston when we have Cat. Did anybody listen to Rudy's interview yesterday. He used Franchise and Cat as reference points. Cat is UNTOUCHABLE. We will not sign a player to a max contract and bring him off the bench. Let's be realistic.
