I have been out of town for the past week, and I was curious what happened with Nick Van Exel? Anyone hear any news lately?
According to the <a href="http://rockets.realgm.com/articles/68/20050815/mid-offseason_report/">RealGM Houston Rocket's Mid-OffSeason Report</a>: "Lastly, when/if the Rockets waive a player, expect them to continue pursuing a veteran guard. Players the Rockets have targeted include journeyman Nick Van Exel and veteran Gary Payton. The Rockets became wary of Van Exel’s knee, so expect them to look into Payton as their number one option."
i think payton is already talking with the suns. realGM is reporting that the lakers are shifting thier attention to aaron mckie. that means that the only two teams DA is considering right now are the wolves and rockets. I like our chances with DA.
