I didn't know Robert Horry was a free agent. And hasn't he been talking about Houston recently? ------------------
Hey, maybe we should try to sign that Webber guy. I had no clue he was a free agent. ------------------ I don't want to waste my time And become a casualty of society. I'll never fall in line Become a victim of your conformity and back down.
How about C-Spoon as a rebounding SF. ------------------ Liberals favor using artificial means to alter the normal to a state which facilitates and justifies how irresponsible they want to be
I'm probably gonna get nailed for this, but what about bringing back Mario for some veteran experience. We aren't exactly an old team if Dream is gone. Anybody know if Elie still wants to play?? ------------------
Toronto's Jerome Williams - energy player, solid, good rebounder Miami's Todd Fuller - wouldn't take much to sign him from Miami, has size If Houston intends to compete next year, they will need all the big bodies (fouls and energy) they can find. University (Electric Company) Blue ------------------
how about these free agents Aruydas Sabonis center Could be useful if we lose Hakeem Danny Manning him and taylor would stabalize the power forward posision Anthony Mason good defence and rebounding Detlef Schrempf small forward still a good defender and can hit the three Nazr Mohammed Center still young getting better thease are some of the players that I think could help us tell me what you think ------------------
We could consider veteran SF-s Clarence W-Spoon Big Nasty Kendall Gill - anybody knows how he is recovered?? PF-s Webber Horry A.Davis Jerome Williams Catling Samaki Walker ------------------
Guys that could help this team: Nazr Mohammed Clarence Weatherspoon Marc Jackson Robert Horry Cedric Ceballos Darvin Ham Stephen Jackson Doug Christie Chris Webber ------------------ Jazzkiller
If the Rockets fail to lure Webber in I'd like to see them freestroke some of that money out to guys like Robert Horry, Darvin Ham, Nazr Mohammed, Jerome Williams. ------------------
what? bryce drew is available? bring him back! i don't care if he'll be the 3rd pg behind steve & mooch... i still believe in the guy. ------------------
Well were most likely gonna need a backup shooting guard since Shandon may be out of here, and will definately need to get a sF. Since were probably not going to get the 18th pick like we were on the original thinking that we were that only leaves two picks in the draft most likely for sf/bigman in that order. Jefferson and Ken Johnson.. So picking up Robert Horry and a Mario Elie would be an excellent edition to those draft scenarios, a resigning of MO(or webber), and the rest of the team sans Hakeem? Sounds okay. ------------------ -jbond77
Would love to see the Rockets sign Mo Taylor, Marc Jackson, and Eddie Robinson...forget Webber. Gary Trent would be good as well, if he can stay healthy. ------------------
We gotta go after Jerome Williams. The Rockets already have enough firepower in the Francis-Mobley backcourt. What the team needs is some solid frontcourt muscle. Jerome fits this requirement to a "T". I would also like to see Antonio Davis of the team, although I wouldn't break the bank for him. ------------------ All hail Fadeaway's Cyberfish -- your 2000-2001 BobFinn* Fantasy Basketball League Champions!
Darvin Ham would be nice if we can't land G.Wallace. Their games are alot alike. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
