    Before the great arrival of Yao Ming let's dig up the great Rocket centers that have came and gone. I can't remember them all!

    Granville Waiters
    Serge Zwikker
    Venson Hamilton
    Thomas Hamilton
    Charles Jones
    Jason Collier (soon)

    Argh! I can't think of the others...

    Whoops, just noticed that. BTW, are we listing EVERY Rockets center or are we just listing the rejects and posers that came and go? Thats the reason why I listed those above.

    Pig Miller... ok, not really a bust. I liked the guy, but he was hard to look at.

    John Turner was not a center. He was a SF.

    What about Antoine Carr? I remember how optimistic Dream was when he was acquired, even though he was a Jazzhole. a Big Dawg enforcer to make things less physical for Dream.
