There sure are a whole lot of overpaid people in this world.

------------------
In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things:
1. Don't tell everything you know.

 

I'm content with what we have after the signing of Mo, but the terribly weak FA class next year unfortunately ensures that we'll have to pay the max to Mo, since there will be a ton of other suitors for him.

------------------

 

There is not ONE passable Center or Power Forward in that listing... oh my!! We better hope that Mo doesn't want to play in Motor City!

------------------

 

Oh great. 93 overpaid scrubs to pick from, more or less. Looks like we'll be relying on the draft next summer.
No Webber? Sh*t...
Oh well, we couldn't have landed him anyway.

------------------
The best is yet to come.
Go Rockets!

 

Joe Smith wouldn't be a bad pick up if we could get him cheap.

------------------
You ain't gotta like me, you just mad cause I tell it how it is, and you tell it how it might be.

 

I agree, but he's going to want to get paid since he already took a small contract with Minnesota.

What about Corliss Wiilliamson or Olden Polynice?


------------------
I am the founding member of the Butt-Nekkid Party! White House here we come!

 

ugh!

I don't want Polynice on any team I like.

Geez he sucks.

------------------
I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.

 

joel przybilla looks a lot better than cba collier and a conditional first, doesn't he?

the rockets have "accidentally" maneuvered themselves to not have to pay for rookie talent this year, not pay the exception, and then give away their firsts next year because they won't have any roster space for them.

nice job, rudy t.

------------------

 

Youre an aidiot

The Rockets have purposefully maneuvered themselves to resign their top FA, during a year where there were many suitors offering him much more, to sign a young, energetic, good PF FA for the exception and have begun stockpiling a number of picks in a very strong and deep draft next year. Further, they should have cap space, and while theFA class next year looks like it sucks, you never know what will happen. Like you thought Austin Croshere or rashard Lewis would have been getting big paydays this summer.

------------------
Remember.... You are not really drunk until you must hold on to the grass to keep from falling off the earth.

 

Zan Tabak 2yr/$2,300,000 2001,
enough said


------------------
Bow down to GOD FRANCIS!

"If they offered me (a lifetime contract) tomorrow, I'd take it."


-- Steve Francis on if the Rockets offered him a lifetime deal. He has now been elevated to "God" status.

 

Thanks JayZ. You took the words right out of my mouth.
