    Whatever! That guy is a wimp! He's just among those who wants that fat contract and then just wants to sit on his ass.

    Trade his sorry ass to the Clippers or to some team in Mongolia.

    That line just made me chuckle. Dunno why... but the fact you'd insinuate playing for the Clippers somehow equates to playing for some team in Mongolia is just funny. [​IMG]

    DoD,

    Sorry! The Clips have improved! Lets instead trade him to the Bulls for Marcus Fizer or atleast a pick.

    The sad part is, after his six years are up with the Rockets (most of that time on IR), there will be another team which will drop a million or two on him again.

    i would definately like to see fizer in a rockets jersey. i know rudy t liked him, and i expected a trade when the bulls picked him. i fell in love with fizer last year. got to see him play alot on cable. oh, by the way dada, man didn't evolve from apes, we are only cousins. we (man and monkees) both evolved from something called australius athropithicus (sp?) we share something like 99% of the same dna. fyi

    Keith Jones said in the Chronicle that Cato just really isn't ready to come back from his high ankle sprain yet. This type of injury has kept baseball, football and basketball players out for entire seasons. It takes time to heal and Cato just hasn't had the time yet.

    I think it was just wishful thinking on the part of the Rockets and Cato to believe he could return this quickly from an injury of that nature. They are better off letting him rest it and fully recover than re-injuring it trying to come back to quickly.
