Dream turns down latest Rockets' offer. Fegan said: 1) Dream wants to go to a team that wants him for what he currently can do, not what he did in the past. 2) Among the best chances for the team to reach the Finals is a requirement. 3) Compensation is also a factor. Dream is currently considering all offers and a decision is expected in the next few days. Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Resistance is futile....you will be assimilated.

blah blah blah It's not about money (yah right!) The tone of the piece was trying to get across that Hakeem is leaving but he's really not a bad guy and it's not all about money. Bigtime spin job. ------------------
Jeff-Have you posted any of the dirt you picked up at the arena deal? Mango-Any teams mentioned? ------------------ "Larry Johnson, who spent the last 48 hours railing against the world, what a pathetic performance by this sad human being." -The one and only Bill Walton
Fegan also mentioned that Dream's not accepting anymore offers, so it looks like the end of this is near. ------------------ This post contains no smilies, you must judge my seriousness on your own...
No, but they did say that money was not the #1 priority. I listed the criteria in the order that Fegan said/implied that it counted in the decision. Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Resistance is futile....you will be assimilated. Start more Dream threads!
For some reason,that sound so similar to what Mr.Arbitrator was trying to discuss, don't you think? My take is his primary consideration is playing time and the number one option for the team which the Rockets is not willing to give him. Dang - we lost an icon for that? ------------------
Not yet. Will give a full report in a while on the front page. ------------------ Who's your buddy? Who's your pal? I am, aren't I?
I will tell you that no one was talking about Hakeem AT ALL. No comment was the phrase of the day! It was really odd. Everybody seemed worn out by it all. ------------------ Who's your buddy? Who's your pal? I am, aren't I?
mango, why does your post have a question mark but not the title. you had me all jazzed watching the news. what's up???
Well the Rockets are in a scre**d up position. If they S&T Hakeem where he wants (Toronto), then Toronto gives us garbage in return. If the Rockets don't send him to Toronto in a S&T, then Hakeem can say scr**w Houston and sign straight up with team. WELL I GUESS HIS TRUE COLORS ARE COMING OUT!! This is definately over, Feagan saying no more offers is it!!!! But with Shandon and Moochie, if Feagan spurns the Rockets - do we even still want to deal with him!!!! ------------------
heypartner, Because I heard some of a promo/lure from Berman earlier about something on Dream and vaguely heard something about his agent. The Dream part I had confidence in, but less confidence on the agent interview part. Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Resistance is futile....you will be assimilated.

I will be soooooooo pissed if we pay SA more than we offered Dream. I really mean it. Let's put it prespective, we give up the best player to wear a rockets uniform, who in my opinion is still one of the best defensive players in the league and best and the best rebounder on our team so we can sign a former jazz that has no offensive skills except for the break and in over-rated on defense. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------
YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORSE THING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT is, that if Hakeem had no intentions of resigning with the Rockets (which I suspect) for less than 10 million a year, then he SCRE******D us twice!!!! Once by playing these games until every other major FA signed elsewhere (to try to get his annual 10 million), and NOW TO PROBABLY DICTATE WHERE HE WANTS TO S&T TO!!!! He has probably already told Toronto to only give us scarps, since it will hurt his new team roster next season. ------------------
Maybe Fegan said "no more offers" because everyone has already let it be known they have given their final offer. This would jibe with Popeye's take that the Rockets' offer was final. It's hard to imagine Fegan would say "too late" if CD called with David Robinson type money. ------------------
Please forgive me...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness. (The swear word I can live with at a time like this -- the 400 characters without a space I can't ) [Note: This message has been edited by Administrator]
If all of this is true I have absolutely no respect for the Dream, no Hakeem, any more ------------------ [This message has been edited by THE BREESE (edited July 31, 2001).]
