    First my grade for rockets draft
    Joel for Collier trade i think was a sign that rudy hasn't given up on cato yet. Because Joel could delvelope into a starter while Collier should turn out to be a good center on the bench. This says to me rudy still belieaves Catos are future C only time can tell if cato can reach his potential and bring it EVERY night.
    The 2nd guy we picked Dan something i forget his last name i think won't be anything special personally. i'm more excited bout Collier i think he'll be a VERY good backup center. Maybe and Hopefully I'm wrong about Dan.

    My Grade: I give rockets C- I think we should have kept Joel and made him our future C instead of trading for Collier.

    my question is we will no doubt we will bring in a big name via next years free agency my question is rather then webber who else could we get? anyone know?

    I'd love if we could get both Webber and Stojakovic. I think Finley is staying in Dallas and I really like Stojakovic's game.

    Sadly enough, I think you can take Malik Sealy's name off the free agent list above. I hope that drunk guy who killed him gets fried.

    Why dont we go after Zan Tabak? Just kidding. He was cool when he was here though. Anyone see him in the few instances he played in the finals. FIrst game they put him in was right near halftime and very first play Shaq gets the ball, scores a hoop and Tabak also fouls him. It was funny. I felt really bad for him.

    I didn't feel that sorry for him. He was playing in the NBA Finals in his first year and he won a ring. Plus he makes lots of money. Lots of guys get dunked on by Shaq, so that's no big deal. What's the league minimum? He probably made even more being that he is a 7 footer. Ring+lots of money=don't feel sorry for him.

    You can't stop F&Brule, you can only hope to contain him.

    Surely Duncan will not sign just a 1 year contract. I heard he will resign with SA for 3 to 5 years.

    I think the Rockets' draft was all about cap-room. Webber would be a fine addition, though I don't see him fitting in personality-wise. Grant Hill would have been a perfect fit, as would McGrady.....oh, well. Only the next draft will tell. In the meantime, we should be going for athletic, defensive oriented players.
