Barkly out for good, I'm going to miss him, and the Rockets going to be less exciting. But this might not be so bad for the Rockets, I Think with Barkly in we would have made the playoff in the 8th spot but not have made any damage in the playoff, this way with Barkly out and the Dream out for another 7 weeks, we can play our young guys more oftten, get them time on the court, get a good lottery pick, and do so changes over the next season. The Rockets can be a force next year (That soon) all depends on the lottery pick and the changes we will do next year. Does any body know how much money we can spend next year on free agents??
