    If we still had Hakeem? I love the Hakeem era, but I'm glad we have turned the page. The great memories remain the same...

    I think we would have a real bad situation on our hands if that were the case. Luck definitely came our way... or perhaps destiny.

    I'd find it hard to believe that Hakeem would start anywhere this year. If we had not gotten Yao, I think C.D. & Rudy would have tried somewhere to pick up a center that would be more effective than Cato. And even without that move, I don't know if Hakeem would start over Cato. Just my humble opinion.

    I love Dream, but his time is all but up.

    dream would start out of the respect the rockets org. has for him.

    he would play the first 6 minutes, then we would bring in yao. with 6 minutes to go to halftime we would bring in cato.

    here is the PT that i assume they would get:

    dream-12
    yao-24
    cato-12

    if yao gets into foul trouble:

    yao-18
    cato-18
