    He may have burned his bridge with the C's after alledgedly b**** slapping Rajon Rondo. I'd love for the Rockets to pick him up.

    with francis going down for the season, i don't think giving him a look would be such a bad idea.

    Please come back home Sam! Sam is the missing puzzle for us to get past the 1st round.

    Is it just me or does it suddenly feels like star players are coming together like legions of super heroes in preparation of some sort of apocalyptic clusterf***?

    Gasol to L.A.
    Shaq to Phoenix
    Cassell to Boston
    Kidd to ???
    Artest to ???

    I spoke with matress mac the other day, and he said he knew this was coming and that Cassel would end up on the Rockets......not sure if that holds up, but we can dream.

    Unless something has changed, he is a minority owner of the Rockets.

    Which would make him commenting on it a violation of NBA league rules.

    Calvin Murphy also said on his radio show Tuesday that Cassell had interest in joining the Rockets, and that the Rockets were also interested in getting him. Take that for what its worth.

    He's a winner, unlike another former Rockets PG that returned after a buyout. If he comes back, start him, no questions asked. But keep him fresh for the playoffs, maybe no more than 25mpg.

    As I said in another thread, Sam's only good for 10-15 minutes a game which is 1 quarter out of 4. However I'd love having him be our 4th quarter finisher. His crunch time experience would carry us deep into the playoffs.

    People talked about Steve returning as the prodigal son, but this is on a whole different level. I could see myself cry if Sam came back to finish it up where it all started. Wow. Please let this happen.

    Calvin Murphy always comes trough !! Thanks for the news

    I'm glad Cassell has interest and the Rockets do too. Please make it happen before the Celtics take him and become the new champs !!
