I was talking to my friend who knows a lot about the Rockets. He said that Mobley wants to stay in Houston, but the Rockets will be gone in to years, and he should've signed a two year deal, worth more money I think. I am not sure if I agree with him. I would like to know what you think about what he said. I am so glad Mobley resigned, cause he is a great player, and I love to watch him play. He has the potential to be a great player. Scoring 16 points a game off the bench isn't exactly easy. ------------------ Peace, Dave Rockets Online

Six years, $30+ million?? Sounds pretty smart to me... Now, he can afford to get some birth control pills for his girlfriend... KIDDING!! ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!

I thought he looked familiar So FABR, are you 13 yet? ------------------ "The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life." ---George Carlin
Are you really expecting someone to to post here and say "Yes, I believe Cuttino was dumb for signing with the Rockets for $30million over 6 years?" Though possible, I think its highly unlikely. ------------------ Ugh, Another Rockets off-season....I'm gonna need a keg of Pepto-Bismol.
I meant since he didn't care much about money, he should've got a two year contract and if the Rockets move go else where, and get more money. ------------------ Peace, Dave Rockets Online
By the way, even if the Rockets were to leave, and I don't believe that they will, their Compaq Center lease doesn't expire until 2003, which would be 3 more seasons if I'm correct on the way the lease is set up. As far as the question, I think Cuttino signed more out of love for Rudy, Steve, and the Rockets organization than the city of Houston itself. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

Well, we know why he chose the name steviewonder, because he's BLIND!! The Rockets are not moving anywhere, thanks to Jeff and SOR.com...The only real threat came from Necktucky, and they've pretty much given up trying to get the Rockets to move there...I hear Charlotte is having arena troubles, though... The $31 mil in Mobley's contract is guaranteed, which means that, barring any major screw-ups on Mobley's part, he WILL get $31 million from the Rockets, or any other NBA team if Houston decides to trade him before his contract runs out... Now, if I had the choice between the following: a) $31 million, no questions asked b) $12-15 million, then the POSSIBILITY of getting more money in a couple of years... I'd have to go with the former...Mobley knows that the next time he jumps in the air, he could come down and his entire career can be ruined by a torn ACL... Think about it....$31 million....that is a LOT of money...Life is short, and Mobley knows that he better get as much as he can right now, because you never know what will happen tomorrow... DUMB? Yeah, tell that to Cuttino as he's cruisin' with his son in the new Benz to his brand new mansion in River Oaks ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
i dont think yoor frend nose much about the Rockets cuz if he did he wood no that mobley cant play without steve so mobley did the best thing he could buy sticking by francis like that they are frends and they kiss. also the rockets will stay in hostin cuz they will play in the Astru /Dome. house of pain. Mobelly rules!!!
Crisco*, That was a nice FABR tribute post. Mango ------------------ 1. Put new topics in the proper forum 2. Use clear wording for new threads 3. No duplicate threads 4. Conduct yourself as an adult The Serious Police are watching Donate Blood or be assimilated!
A home is not a home without a family. Isn't what Cuttino loves is his Rocket family... Little Stevie Wander, Rudy T, CD, Hakeem, et al? ------------------ Time is a great teacher-- only problem is it kills all its pupils.
a-train.. i hope you are right but the deal is far from being certain at the moment.. true this is a good deal but the voters still have to be convinced... jeff and sor.com are doing a great job and will help this deal greatly but i expect the vote to be very close and probably decided by who does the best campaigning right before the vote.. i'm far more concerned about the vote then i am thi s year's basketball season at the moment [This message has been edited by Rocket Fan (edited August 06, 2000).]
