    ... would you like to add to this coming year's squad.

    One rule: no stars. It would be too easy to say Hakeem or Moses.

    I'm thinking more about role players. Who would be valuable to the Francis, Ming, Griff, Mo-T, Cat, Cato, Posey nucleus?

    How about Robert Reid?

    Two options: ( Do you call these guys stars? )

    Rodney McCray. Have him take the burden of leading the offense off of Steve's shoulders, avoiding the whole pg/sg question, and do a lot of the litle things.

    Otis Thorpe. Tough banger on the inside, exactly what we don't have.

    Craig Ehlo - Bill barely let him off the bench but he played smart and well when he was on the floor - as later demonstrated on another team.

    Otis Thorpe is EXACTLY what this team needs!

    wouldn't mind having Mario Elie back, either.

    the outside shooting and tough veteran leadership that we so desperately need more than anything.......

    otis thorpe is still capable of helping out the rockets today, with our 'un'powerfowards. or as could be stated, he is still worth a lot around the nba. just ask detroit. :D
