There is a lot of talk of trades so lets change it a little. If no one gets traded who do you thin stays on the team? Who do you think will be battling for a roster spot? ------------------
Bryce Drew Matt Bullard Carlos Rogers Devin Grey Pig Miller They will definitely make the team. I doubt if Steve and Cuttino will! ------------------
If Bryce gets traded for a pick, we're down to 13 players.... Which means Rogers will be on the IL most likely... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
Well, here's my opinion, DEFINITELY IN Anderson Cato Collier Langhi Francis Mobley Olajuwan Taylor Thomas Williams Likely Inclusions Bullard Norris Miller Williams Likely exclusions Rogers Drew Devin Gray I am very tempted to put Walt in the likely exclusions, but at the moment, with an unproven Langhi as the only other real 3, I don't think they can afford to ship him out just yet. I would not be surprised to see a package involving a combination of Williams, Rogers and Drew at some stage - traded for a solid, but unspectacular 3. I think the Rocks really like Walt, but to maintain any fantasy of getting Webber next year, they will have to unload him. Bullard will probably stay because he is Rudy's boy, he is a FA next year, he can shoot the lights out AND i like him. Pig will stay because we need the big body and he doesn't get out hustled. Los is out because he is redundant at the 4 behind Taylor and Thomas. Of course, we may not be able to move him at $3mil per, so he may do some lengthy IR stints. Can someone post the correct number of active roster spots and IR spots? I think it is 12 and 3 respectively, so if the Rockets cannot oull off some trades, they are going to need to make some tough decisions. ------------------ Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info
Davo, 12 and 3 is indeed correct as far as active roster spots and IR spots.... And technically it's against the rules to have a guy on the injured list that's not really injured, but so many people do it now that it's become common practice... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
If no trades, here is the opening day roster: Francis Mobley Anderson Rogers Cato Taylor Thomas Williams Langhi Norris Dream Bullard Injured List: Collier Drew ------------------
NewGuy your roster sounds about right with the only exeption of Drew, a little bird told me he will be gone by the time training camp starts........ if not very cls after that . ------------------ Life moves pretty fast, If you don't stop and look once in a while you might miss it!! ...

los definitely needs to stay, i even thinkn he should get a roster spot and not a ir spot, he really is very talented. and were one injury to mo or kt from having only one power forward c-Cato/hakeem pf-mo/kenny/los sf-williams/langhi/bullard sg-anderson/mobley pg-franchise/norris then you have collier gray and drew(if we keep him) on the ir list... good?
The roster seems pretty set barring no trades or injuries. Who is gonna get a strained back? I guess Collier will be on IR. Looks like time to get ready to roll. ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
sorry cat...didnt mean to offend you, but for now i see rogers outplaying collier. rogers was averaging double figures before injuries.
Even if Carlos is more valuable, which I doubt, you still have Langhi and Bullard ahead of Collier. Don't get me wrong, I like Langhi too, but what you saw was two summer league games. He'll be a good NBA player, but I think Collier will be better. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi? Draftsource.net ClutchTown.com Go Packers and Rams!
Devin Gray get re-signed yeah when pigs fly. ------------------ [This message has been edited by DJ (edited September 30, 2000).]
Collier will not be on the IR. You don't just not put your first round pick on the team. I'll almost guarantee you Collier will be on the active roster, and will surprise almost every single one of you. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

Collier should be a solid guy of the bench playing probably no more than 10 min. a game since we have better guys to fill his positions. Look for Langhy to get more minutes than him. ------------------ against all odds
I think if Collier gets 10 mpg, that's good for him and the team. It's enough for him to progress and learn the NBA game and would mean that is acceptably productive to get that many minutes. If Damn Lanky gets more minutes than that, that means he's doing damn good. Hope that's right. By the way Arnel, did you by any chance play for BSU? ------------------
Hey Moe, I didn't play for BSU (yet) but I'm gonna be a freshman there next year, and I'll definitely try out.. ------------------ against all odds
now, i actually think that collier will turn out ok, and that it wasnt a wasted pick. but im also worried, he looked overweight.
