    I think he's versatile enough to play both the 3 and the 4. We need someone like him on this team who brings toughness and has an attitude the Rockets are lacking. He's just like Bowen but plays bigger, with atleticism and a lot better rebounder.

    Last year when we played them at MSG, he was doing a decent job defending T-mac early. Then he started jawing and T-mac lit him on fire.

    Ive always liked Jerome Williams. He doesnt do one thing really well but he does a lot of little things and I think that he would do well for us if we decided to get him. I could see him doing well for JVG. The problem is finding a place for him on this team. He would be a nice addition but we just have to wait and see what happens.

    I'm not sure about that, I read in the papers that he will get his full contract if he retires from injuries, its just that 75% of it will be coming from Insurance, and tyhe Knicks will pick up the other 25%. The Knicks save more money if Houston retires, because they wont have to pay 75% of his salary and I dont think his salary would count towards the Knicks cap

    We're not going to pick up anybody until we find out what's gonna happen with Finley. I really believe that if he is let go, we are gonna make a move for him. We may not get him, but I think CD and JVG are gonna offer him the LLE and the starting SG spot and hope they get him.

    There's absolutely no reason not to, but it's still a longshot unless there's something we don't know about. I think it's more likely that one of our possible trading partners has zeroed in on him, or a team that really was looking hard at Houston.

    I still expect one more move this off-season.

    We dont need anymore has-been Knick Forwards on this team!

    basically its a war between Isiah and CD.

    We send the Knicks our scrubs to tank them: Shandon Anderson, Moochie Norris, Othella Harrington, Mo Taylor! :cool:

    They send us back junk: Ewing, Ward, Baker, Weatherspoon, Vin Baker and Moochie (Return to Sender)

    i think we are on top right now since we have JVG and the expiring contracts of ward, baker, spoon, moochie.

    also, i know baker is bad but you don't have to count him twice ;)
