    Indiana sends : Fred Jones and Al Harrington
    Rockets send: Kelvin Cato


    Indiana gets a starting legit center after BradMiller leaves

    Rockets get a starting forward to complete their roster. Fred Jones is in there to make trade even and maybe replacement for mooch.

    No thank you...

    Cato is invaluable as a backup to Ming.

    Harrington is coming off a major knee injury (ACL).

    Jones will be out of the league in a couple of years.

    Harrington is a future all star. There's no way Indiana would trade him for Cato.

    I do not want to give up Cato. He is a great backup for Yao. No doubt the best backup center in the league. Would start at center for most teams in the league right now. If he adds to the way he was playing last year, he will definately earn his paycheck. He worked hard last year and I am hoping for more of the same this year.

    Bingo!

    BTW, who cares about Cato being a great backup when you can (hypothetically) get a young F w\Harrington's talent. You can always sign a role playing C to backup Yao.

    Heck, in the East, Cato might be the allstar starting Center.
