    According to the Ray Fitzgerald Jr (the guy who runs the Hornets BBS) Rockets wanted to sign Erob as a undrafted FA 2 years ago. Anyone knows if he came closes to signing with the Rockets?


    From Ray Fitzgerald Jr, CharlotteHoops.com :

    "When he signed with the Hornets, there were four other teams that heavilly courted him. San Antonio, Houston, Miami, and New York."

    I know Ray, and he's an incredibly reliable source guys. That said, I still see ERob taking the money from the Bulls. Why he would want to is beyond me, but that's what I'm guessing.

    If we had signed Eddie Robinson we wouldn't have gotten Eddie Griffin. And if there is one Eddie I want on the team it's the one we DO have!

    Why does a player that only played 18 minutes a game for the Charlotte Hornets last year get so many threads dedicated to him on a Houston Rockets board?

    Very valid question - I have been wondering that myself.

    ------------------
    Rockets' offseason tasks in order of priority:
    • Get rid of Cato under any circumstances.
    • Sign Chris Webber.
    • Re-Sign Hakeem.
    • Re-Sign Moochie and AirBullard.
    • Pick up the Langhi option for another year.
    • Trade for Bo Outlaw and Raef LaFrentz.

    No kidding Det. That thing needs an abridged version or something. I damn-near black out trying to scroll down and get by it.

    Cat5: Can you post the link to that Charlotte Hornets BBS?

    Also, if anyone else knows of other teams who have boards that are active, please post those links as well. No espn boards though. Thanks.

    Because he can do a windmill dunk.

    He would bring nothing to the Rockets that we don't already have. Why do you think he's talking to the Bulls? Because they'll overpay him like they overpaid Mercer and Miller.

    Don't ask, I lost a bet.
