    If it is possible to trade this total liability, I urge the Rockets' "brain trust" to do so quickly. After last year's stellar preseason, I have *never* seen this lummox give it up to get a rebound (see Chris Webber's last missed free throw), dive for a loose ball, or catch a passed ball cleanly. He has the offensive skills of a drunken Shriner. Cato only excels in 1)whining at the ref's in a most pathetic fashion 2)spending time on the I.R. 3) conning Rudy and various people in the media that he will one day reach his potential. His true potential is spelled with three letters: C-B-A. Trade this millionaire tosser!

    Sorry for the rant,
    Elvis Costello

    Do you want him in a green shirt next season?

    Would you get happy if Rudy & Co said clowntime was over?

    The entire Pippen deal shows that accidents will happen.

    I'm not sure about trading him yet, I mean, I'm not sure if we can get a quality player for him. There are a lot of teams who could use a big men, but taking Cato would sure be a risk for them. He just came back from the injury, maybe we ought to give him more chance to prove him self, he'll probably get more time now that hakeem is still out so let's see how he does.

    I am all for trading him if it meant that another team makes the same mistake we made and saw something such as POTENTIAL... as long as we got something in return of course.

    If you are a positive thinking person but yet you listen to country music, isn't that odd?

    Trade Cato, keep KT. Thomas keeps proving himself... But Cato - think of it as clearing up a spot on the injured reserve...

    Don't forget who else we got in that deal...........the wonderful All-Pro (ha,ha) Walt Williams who is easily the worst player in the NBA!

    It wasnt Cato's fault on that last missed ft by Webber. The ball came to Mo Taylor but he didn't really jump for it & Divac went over the back for the board.

    When does Cato lose his BYC status? If I'm right, he'll be alot easier to deal then.

    I wonder if they gave Cato a physical before offering him that immense contract, no they couldnt have, or else they would have known, beforehand, that he prefers to wear pannies under his basketball shorts.

    Cato, sorry guy, but when it comes to playing basketball, your hopeless.
