    We have indoor b-ball gym at my apartment complex and he was just shooting around (swished everything I saw). I watched for about 5 minutes and left. Much bigger than I thought he would be.

    Isnt he still getting paid by the Rockets?

    dumb question probably, but I wonder if he plans to play in the NBA again?

    I think either this or last year was the last year of the horrible contract.

    It wasn't an apartment complex, but a retirement home --- he finally found someone he take off the dribble.

    Maloney would be a much better backup than Strickland. What the hell are we paying that guy for?

    About 4 years ago i met him at one of my partners bars cuase he always goes to the Bronx. Back then we had this other bar R&R on main in mid town became pangea....and he came in and had a CD he made of his own music in the recording studio. I guess that was what he was doing on his spare time.

    Definetly shows that with enough money you can pay for studio time and record an album.

    So anyways we were there and he wanted all of us to listen to the album....sucks balls...like he was trying to do this jazz with talking/singing or something....really horrible....thank god he didn't ask me what i thought about the album then.....

    We stopped paying him long time ago but his contract value (cap wise) will come off our team cap.

    We bought his contract off with a one time payment years ago but his cap hit continue to count against us.

    He would fit this team much better than the one he left.

    Is this true? It makes more economic sense for the Rockets to have paid him gradually rather than a lump sum payment. If they release him they still have to pay him - there is no obligation to buy him out.

    If the Rockets were to pick him up, would they have to sign him, or could he play for the money they are already giving him?
