    Alright guys hes supposed to be our enforcer but lately im starting really not to like this guy.... He just makes boneheaded plays. Pushing down bibby when he is setting a pick is not a "enforcer play" its a stupid-idiotic-boneheaded play. It just seems like Kelvin is trying to hard to play the "bad guy.

    Any thoughts?

    His hands and the ball must have the same electrical charges. Every time he touches the ball.....zing. Pops out like a stray electron.

    Sorry I'm studying chem.

    He has the worst hands of anyone in the NBA...trade him to Dallas for Jamison.

    Love ya man, but Jamison?? Gross. I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot caddle prod. Only way I'd trade Cato is in a package deal for someone better.

    Sure why would we want Jamison?

    A smart player who shoots 53% gets 7 rebounds a game and will only improve?

    Keep the guy who has sulked for most of his career, had problems starting and can't shoot his way out of a paper bag...yeah..that makes a lot of sense.

    No. It doesn't annoy me.....what I don't like is his offensive inabilities....he can't shoot at all....all he can do is dunk. His defense has been great though so I don't know. I would trade him for Jamison...Mavs would probably benefit too from that trade.

    I don't know...then our defense wouldn't be that great.

    I think the time has come..It's time to trade him for someone better. And this summer I would like to check out what we can get for Steve.. The rest of the guys are doing their jobs (even Mobley has adjusted, Mo's great improvement)

    I think our defensive improvement is due to 2 players...JJ on the perimeter, and yao in the paint..the rest of the guys play average D.

    Cato can drive the bus out of town with Francis.

    does anyone think that it is time to start Taylor?

    I mean Kelvins production had decreased as of a late and he is back to not being able to catch passes or even hold on to the ball and I was just wondering what people would think about Taylor starting?

    Do Ya'll think Taylor would be as effective starting, it would definetly stop people from doubling Yao as much Imo.

    I think Taylor should start too. He's much better on offense than Cato and he's actually been doing a pretty good job on defense this year, not to mention he's also rebounding very well this season.

    Taylor is too valuable off the bench. No dice.

    MoT has been a beast lately. He along with JJ kept the Rox ahead in the 2nd and 3rd Qtrs. He definitely needs to start as he is playing MUCH better than Cato.

    The man is 5 feet tall! Who wants 2 midgets with rebounding issues manning the 4?

    Cato sucks it up but his presense as a big man, shot blocker/changer, rebounder are much more useful to the team as it is designed, which is a defensive team with many offensive weapons. Getting the offense to work right has been the problem.

    Plus, why would we help Dallas do what they suck at: rebound. We can't touch those guys as it is.

    Jamison is 6'9" tall and 230 pounds.

    He has career averages of over 19 ppg and over 7rpg.

    Better than MoT and Cato.......and the guy is smart.

    We need players like him who get the easy baskets...they make the game easier for everyone.

    JVG got everyone excited about Cato this season and Cato lived up to the hype, for about 3 weeks. The guy shows no will to win, it seems he has gone back to his lazy-ass ways, and above all that, the guy is such an offensive liability that it's not even funny.

    MoT is showing game after game that he can handle the load.

    Bringing in a guy like Jamison would be a huge addition. The guy rebounds like a machine and scores at will.

    Cato's trade value is probably at it's highest point it will ever get to. Teams get desperate as hell when the tradeline comes around and the biggest need right now for all teams is a Big Man, and that's what Cato is.

    But of course, the Rockets can't get desperate themselves. Any trade right now would be an irrational decision, but we need consistency.

    Exactly. Steve and Cato, bye-bye now.

    I don't know about Jamison. We need Rashard Lewis---shoots the 3, backs his man down, gets those same 7 boards you mention.

    Steve and Cato and Pike, send'em away. In return, a small forward who can shoot and a PG who can distribute and is decent on the offensive and defensive end of the floor. Nothing elaborate. Just steady.

    LOL.:D

    Well,I'll pass the trade with good offer. Cato is the only Rox guy i want to trade.He has D which seems fit JVG's mode well but in fact a incompetently complementary player for us in a long run.His offensive inabilities and mobility ofen make us trap in passive conditions.
