    hey, I was ready as anyone to let Olajuwon go, but now that we got a good front court player in the draft, perhaps we _should_ keep him. Who would we get that is worth more to us? Besides, it would let him retire a Rocket. What does everyone think? And no, I am not expecting Cato to suddenly become a great center.

    I think most of us WANT to keep Hakeem.... BUT at what price. I wouldn't automatically open the checkbook.

    At this juncture, he is our best option. If Les wants to over-pay him because he is our best (maybe only) option, okay by me. It's his money....

    My only complaint about over-paying him is if it prevents us from making another move that would be beneficial for the team in a longer run (such as Webber).

    I would like to have Olajuwon back if he signs for around 5 million for next year.
    If we fail to get a young center like Marc Jackson or Nazr Mohammed in free agency,and if Olajuwon demands too much money or decides not to resign with us,should we sign Kevin Willis for around 2 million for the coming season?

    Wrong forum

    It's rare to see a Game Action thread in the wrong spot

    I wonder if it would be a good idea to sign Dream to a LARGE 1 season contract (yeah, I know he wants two seasons), so we end up with a ton of money next offseason, when there are tons of good free agents?
