    This is about Dream as well -- if he doesn't sign, then he can't play here.

    PG- Francis
    SG- Cat
    SF- Griff
    PF- Mo
    C- Dream

    KT, Moochie, Cato

    Also if Walt is shooting well he will play. Collier/Cato's role will be bigger if Dream does leave.

    Bullard, Anderson, Williams, and Langhi will all likely be on the depth chart above Morris.

    vengeance-no, it isn't. it presupposes hakeem. though perhaps it should be (non hakeem-haggling topic)

    well, i was going to put tmo in the lineup but that would've seemed too partisan. i put langhi in to conceal that partisanship

    I don't know if Rudy really uses an eight man rotation. His bench is used differently depending on the opponent.

    I expect Mo, Griffin, Cat, and Francis to start. Moochie and KT definitely get PT. Langhi and Morris will fight for PT, IMO. Shannon will get PT if he signs. Hakeem gets start if signs. Cato gets PT if his hiccups go away. Calvin Booth gets backup center minutes if signed. Walt will get minutes when hot.

    A 8 man rotation will not get your team through an 82 game regular season. During the regular season the Rockets usually go steady themselves with a 10 man rotation.

    heres the top ten guys so far:

    Francis
    Mobley
    Cato
    Griffin
    Taylor

    Norris, Thomas, Langhi, CBA center?, Morris

    And where do you all figure Shanderson figures into all this?

    Dream/Cato/Collier
    Taylor/KT/Griffin
    Griffin/Anderson/Langhi
    Mobley/Anderson
    Francis/Mooch

    Teams don't use 8-man rotations until the playoffs. Most teams have 9- or 10-man rotations during the regular season. This is probably what it will look like if the Rockets stick with their team from last year.

    Francis
    Mobley
    Anderson
    Taylor
    Olajuwon

    Norris
    Griffin
    Bullard
    Thomas
    Cato

    Williams and Langhi will both challenge for a regular spot in the rotation, but Rudy LOVES Bull as a sharpshooter off the bench to create mismatches. Morris, Collier, and Colson will watch most of the season from the bench or in street clothes.
