    Brad Miller? He did more than passively suck. He actually lost us games.

    Remove Brent Price as well. He blew out both knees playing for us on a decent contract.

    Cato's contract was not that bad. I've always said that.

    I think Yao Ming was the most profitable player in any franchise in NBA history

    This isn't even accurate - I knew the girl he was dating at the time and she was not related to Rudy

    his contract was still terrible though. and if you compare cato's contract to the ones centers are getting now, its not that bad...but the decision to give him a massive extension over what he was getting at the time, after 1-2 preseason games, was a terrible decision.

    Scottie Pippen

    He was such a great robber that for most of his career he hid in the shadow of MJ.

    The Rockets did pay Glen Rice $18MM over two years.

    In today's dollars, not that bad. However, for the production the Rockets received that contract was absolutely horrible.

    Terrible List, both the inclusions and omissions. Take a little more time researching before creating a thread.

    How is Stromile Swift not on this list.

    Sorry but Eddie Griffin belongs on it too if you're going to throw Jordan Hill on there.

    Easy. Scottie Pippen. There was a basketball trivia thing on here about 8 years ago. It was really funny. It asked :
    What teams did Scottie Pippen play for?

    A.Chicago Bulls/Portland Trailblazer
    B.Houston Rockets/Chicago Buls
    C. Portland Trailblazers/Houston Rockets
    D. All of the Above

    If you chose anything but option A, then the responsed would say:

    That answer is incorrect. Scottie Pippen did not actually play for the Houston Rockets, he only picked up a paycheck.

    Pippen never fit in, especially with Barkley. Too bad, it could have been a good thing.
