    Here's how it would shakedown if Croshere came to Houston.

    C-Cato/Dream/Pig
    PF-Thomas/Langhi
    SF-Croshere/Williams
    SG-Anderson/Mobley
    PG-Francis/Norris/Drew

    But I bet you Drew or Langhi is also involved in the deal. Since both teams have the trade exception we could see multiple players being exchanged. And to get Indiana to do the deal we would probably have to take on somebody with a fat contract as well. With Croshere, I think the Rocks would be in the hunt for the playoffs again and would be a very good team.

    'Los and Bull must be on IR, so you're saying they'll resign Pig and trade Collier to Indy for Croshere?

    I think Croshere starts at the PF and Langhi backs up Williams at the SF in if the scenario goes down.

    I see Collier as a bigger, slower Croshere with unproven range. I might keep him over Croshere if he can prove his range and ability to guard quicker players. Those are big ifs.

    Williams would be the defensive-minded SF.

    If Williams is the defensive SF, there's a problem.

    Collier's got just as much shooting range as Croshere, if not more.

    "Since both teams have the trade exception we could see multiple players being exchanged. And to get Indiana to do the deal we would probably have to take on somebody with a fat contract as well."

    Umm, why? Both teams have the same amount, they'd end up just cancelling out, unless you're talking about BYC players being involved....and Cato is the only what Houston has, while I don't think Indiana has any.

    Of other note, if we did a sign/trade for Croshere with Indiana, Croshere is the ONLY player we can get from them. They can't send things along with him in a sign and trade.

    The more lefties on your team, the better.
    Collier is Seven Foot and Left Handed. How can you go wrong?
    Trade or bench Kenny Thomas.

    Are we talking about WALT Williams here? Walt and defense? There's a new idea.

    Great signature Cat. Now I know I'm not the only one who has faith in the Rockets next year.

    Forgot about Los. Thanks for that reminder. He would be in a battle with Bullard for the last spot.
