Cato for Kwame Brown I like Cato's defense, his hustle. But we definitely need to beef up our PF position if we are going to be a legit contender. Cato would be doing great as a center in the East. Kwame Brown is disappointing so far. But I still believe he has the talent to be a decent PF. Wizard is doing very bad and is not very happy with Brown. So maybe we can have a deal with them. Any thought?
I am talking about the future. Everybody knows we need a decent PF, but it's really hard to get one, plus we have no first round picks this year and probably next year.
If ORL gets the top overall pick, how about this? Cato + Mobley = #1 pick + Grant Hill + Pat Garrity Draft Emeka Okafor with the top pick to start at PF Move Jim Jackson to 2G and start Garrity at SF (or Hill if by some miracle he gets healthy) ORL gets rid of Grant's contract and gets two veteran starters to play with McGrady.
I think the best question is, what does everyone think of Kwame Brown's potential at this point? Sometimes he's good, but to me I just automatically think Joe Smith syndrome, with a slight possibility of Jermaine O'Neal. I don't like his attitude from what we've heard over and over. That whole 01 draft was kind of sketchy attitude-wise. I don't think Washington would do it, and I even wonder if we'd be thrilled considering the recent Griffin thing we're all dying to forget about.
No one would take Cato for Kwame Brown. Cato has a big contract and has very little upside. Kwame can potentially develop into a much better player than he is now.
I don't think Orlando would trade the #1 pick. They are trying to keep T-Mac in Orlando, and drafting Okafor would give T-Mac a big reason to stay. But I do think the Rockets need to find a way to move a little higher in the draft.
i don't think ORL would want Okafor since they already have Howard and Gooden signed to long term contracts.
Kwame Brown??? why do the rockets need another young player who's full of potential. Give me someone who can produce now, not 5 years now.
I'm down for anything that brings Okafor to town. I mean the guy is class-act all the way around, not to metion one hellava shot-blocker, sound familiar? Let the Dream's begin.
You think having Juwon Howard would keep a team from drafting a stud PF? They could move Gooden to SF and Howard to center if they really wanted to keep both of them.
Eddie Griffen for Kwame Brown... .... I mean they both suck asss. especially after all the high expectations.
If Orlando get the top pick, I'd love to have a Cato for Juwan Howard and Andrew Declerq deal. That would be great for us. I'd love to have Jarvis Hayes off the Wizards. The guy would fit in with the Rockets really well. Malik Rose would be a decent plaer to have next to Yao, but I can't see the Spurs dealing with us.
