    Damn, it seems like yesterday that everybody on the board was complaining about Cato being the most overpaid player in the league.

    If New York signed him for anything more than the vet minimum, they overpaid for him...

    Houston Rockets

    Charlie Ward
    Clarence Weatherspoon
    Moochie Norris

    That's funny, just this morning I was looking at the ESPN players section to see if Cato had signed with a team yet.

    Good signing. IT wants a fast paced, guard oriented line up so -- sign Cato to add to (injured) James and (inchoate) Curry and (too short) Rose and...

    Keep looking. Things are booming here. Jobs are easy to come by and the much lower cost of living would make up for any pay you might need to sacrifice.

    It's the least you can do for the team...

    Does Stevey Franchise start for the Knicks? I don't watch any Knick games and when I check out the Knicks site I only see Marbury all over the site.

    There have been a lot of games where they start francis and marbury. Marbury plays the point and Francis plays the 2 guard. They also started doing that in Orlando as well when they had Jameer Nelson at the point.

    He still playing well, compared to Houston numbers? Probably not considering the players on New York. Not even balls to go around?

    well crawford outplayed him last season for the starting spot. steve has said in local papers that he plans on winning it back. he stands a good chance for a couple of reasons.

    1. crawford is supposedly better as a 6th man.
    2. the backup guards would be way too small if they paired steve with nate.

    however, the one thing he has going against him is... he can't really co-exist with marbury.
