    If so he is unrestricted and has miami's attention. Morey needs to get him signed FIRST before worrying about everyone else. We have no center and not having him leaves us with a bunch of bums to choose from. Crazy to think we might be almost last in the west with our roster. All other teams making big moves while we go into tank mode it seems.

    I'm less concerned with them going into tank mode than I am with them going mediocre 14th pick mode again.

    If our record sucks next year but our young players start developing that would be ok with me.

    I think he is inclined to re-sign with Houston considering that he is trying to recruit Dragic on Tweeter. Of course, if Miami offers him a shot at a ring, which is more important to him? Comfort in Houston or a shot at a ring?

    He might be more useful for Miami than he would here.

    And tank mode? What's wrong--I thought that's what some/many wanted? :p

    I don't see the big moves you are talking about. I see a bunch of free agents talking to GM's, and I see various teams trying to work out trades. The Rockets are talking to free agents and trying to work out trades like everyone else.

    As far as Camby is concerned. He lives here and wants to play here, so I suspect he will be signed.

    dont know if i can take 4 more years of not making playoffs. Team will lose what little support they had in this city.:( Man its hard for me to see twolves, GSW and others get better while we look to keep cap flexibility and get murdered every game during the season while developing bench warmers.

    I think they want to get better. But wanting to and doing it are entirely different things. I love the Rockets but I'm critical of ownership and management.

    Good point, and now the FO is reminded Camby exists. We know everything that goes on behind the Doors. Everything.

    Camby gets a huge home town discount.

    camby is a great locker room leader and would be a mentor for the young team we have now. if scola is traded camby would be leaned upon more to guide the youth. gotta sign him now.

    Yeah, between him recruiting Gogi on Twitter and now not visiting with other teams, it seems like he's coming back. Good news, I like the Cambyman and what he brings to the Rockets.

    If we land Dwight and re-sign Camby, we will have the best 48 minutes of post play, post defense, rebounding, and shot-altering every night they both play.

    Outside of Davis, who did you want to tank for in the draft? Which guy would have been significantly better than the 3 guys they got? Which guy other than Davis would have resurrected this franchise?
