    Well as everyones knows we traded Hakeem Olajuwon in the off season. But whos backing him up in Toronto>>? Keon Clark. I think that he is the piece of the puzzle that we are missing. He gives us a healthy young backup center/power foward. He can give us that extra punch off the bench that i dont think Collier and Willis can give us. I would give up Mo T for him, maybe even Wizard too. To me the Rockets need a Small Foward, but i think we should fill the 5 hole instead of the 3. Hopefully Rice will make a good come back but lets not forget that we have Eddie Griffin and Kenny Thomas. If we get a Small Foward will he get any playing time??? But lets be real, we are more than likely not going to get Yao Ming, but i say we get the next best center available. Someone who can back up Cato, if we cant get a free agent center.

    You do know that Walt's not under contract, right?

    Keon Clark is a bean pole with some skills. Sort of like a poor man's theo ratliff, but taller, and a bit better with the ball. Ok, so he's not that much like Theo Ratliff ;). He's a worse shot blocker, as well.

    But they do share a similar weakness: neither is going to play C or PF in the Western conference, since neither has a big enough body or enough O.

    Keon is like Cato, he gets outplayed by Olajuwon at times, and other times shows flashes of brilliance.
