They are not showing it live. If you want to see the press conference, wait till Fox 26 news at 9 and they will show it.
They didnt put on what they said. All I know is that carrol and rudy were there making the deal offical. My guess is that rudy said the same things yesterday. If I find out , Ill post what they said.
Dawson said that he has a great relationship with hakeem. They have alot of inside jokes. Draft picks are lottery protected till 2007. The highest priority that Dawson said is to resign the free agents on the team. ( mo , moochie, shandon )
Got this from eblastoff The Houston Rockets have traded center Hakeem Olajuwon to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a future first-round draft pick and a future second-round draft pick, Rockets General Manager Carroll Dawson announced today. This transaction comes one day after Olajuwon ended contract negotiations with the Rockets and requested that a sign-and-trade agreement be arranged. The Rockets are currently holding a press conference at Westside Tennis Club to announce details of the trade.

The press conference was nothing more than announcing the deal was official. As of a little past 6pm Hakeem became a, gulp, Toronto Raptor. Dawson does not expect any problem with signing the remaining free agents. Old School
