I think the rockets need to do everything possible to keep their options open 2 years from now.In that time Mr duncan will be a free agent and on his way to bolting sa.Seeing though he's already in texas,wouldn't it seem ideal that steve,cat,morris/langhi,eddie,and himself included seem championship quality.or you could make a deal this year for marc jackson,keep hakeem let taylor and all those other dead weights go except moochie,and with griffin,cat,steve,dream,and jackson could overtake phoenix or minn for the playoff spot.in two years you add duncan with jackson and griffin in the frontcourt with steve and and cat in the back court and now you have a legitimate championship team that will still be pretty young.steve 25,cat going on 29,jackson 28,duncan 28 and griffin 22.thats the big prize and hakeem would be able to retire in the only place he's ever called home.build championship teams,not playoff teams. ------------------ everett
