    Stay. Will sign for 3 years. If Rox arena deal falters, will either demand trade or go elsewhere before Rox can move to new, god-forsaken city. But I think Rox will stay, too.
    By the way: Did Cat's wife/girlfriend and baby move to Houston? That might give a clue; but not necessarily, just wondering.

    He will go if someone offers him more than 6 Mil a yr. Come on which one of you wouldn't take the money and run under the same circumstances.

    But I have to say if he leaves for 5 mil or less I too will boo him everytime he plays against us. We simply have done everything to apease him including allowing him to became a goto guy when it would have been better for us to let him play arole while we lost games and moved up the lottery ladder.

    Anyway I think he will be gone because I think Toronto if not someone else, will offer him 6-7 mil. Good bye Cat... Look on the bright side. We will definitely get a high lottery pick next year and we will also have more cap space to sign Rashard and Webber.

    Why would Toronto give him 6/7 Mil?
    Seems kind of well strange since when I think of 2G complement players to take a team over the top sortaspeek Mobley isn't the 1st, 2nd or 10th guy to come to mind & once I got passed 7 or so on the list 6/7 Mil a year seems kind of out of range for other guys you will probably be able to grab up once the Chicago-Orlandos have spent all the jack on 3 players & left all other names kind of hanging. Remember it wasn't that long ago guys like Joe Smith where signing for the minimum because teams ran out of Money. I expect the same at the end of August.

    He'll stay. If not....he'll regret it. He simply wouldn't have the same amount of success anywhere else. Frankly, I'm skeptical about the amount of success he'll have with us in the future. He'll have to maintain that level of play for a while before I'm an absolute believer.

    Where is he going to find all this money? Toronto needs a PG in a bad way... and I don't think Mobley's their solution. I'd expect them to hand out their LIMITED money to someone else, who can play the point. I think that Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson are both better 2 guards than Mobley... and even they're having trouble finding large pay checks. I simply don't think he'll fin more than 4 million a year... and he has to remember that the Rockets will have his bird rights after next season.

    To be honest, I think Mobley and Rashard would each be best served signing 1 year deals with their respective teams... maturing a bit, picking up some respect, and then signing longer deals next year when the other pickings aren't quite so good.

    he'll stay. the NBA might be all about money, but some Tim just proved today that loyalty does exist. Mobes is staying, he know he'll get his money next year.

    He will leave. He always had something inside him where he wanted to be the star, at least of the backcourt.

    He will leave. Big ego. Big heart. He Cannot live with not starting. If I were Cat I would leave to. He should be respected as a starter. As long as shandon is here Cuttino will never be considered an All Star. And that's what he wants.
