    Has anyone heard where we stand in terms of re-signing Moochie? He's an excellent point guard and I'm sure there are some teams that could offer him more money and a starting role...but I hope he'll stay he're. I think the Rockets play their best w/ Moochie, Steve and Cuttino all in at the same time.

    See we can't "hear" that he will be resigned and for how much because players can't discuss numbers until July 1. Until then people might call it tampering but I think Moochie will be taken care of somehow.

    I'm pretty sure we can't negotiate with Mooch just yet in an official capacity, but I'm sure there have been several "hypothetical" discussions. But I wouldn't really know about that.

    However, a good rule of thumb, if you don't hear a lot of speculation about where Mooch is going from the press or how Moochie has to make a big decision on his future this summer from the press, thats a good thing.

    I think a lot of teams will be scared off pursuing him because they may feel he is almost certain to resign in Houston, and they would ratther pursue other Free Agents that they have a better chance at getting.(see Finley, Michael - A top-notch free agent who won't get much press or offers because he's almost a lock to resign in Dallas).

    mooch is perfect for his roll on the team
    and because Anderson will probaly move on to another team. The Rockets will need to keep him
    if other teams start bidding for his services and I know they will mooch could get as much as 4 million a season with us
    but if we sign a big free agent like
    webber he could sign with another team
    like all other free agents it is a wait and see game

    I hope Moochie stays, but I'm kindof worried that he may end up bolting . . . he loves it here (apparently), but I'm worried that he'll snatch up an opportunity for more money and a starting role somewhere else . . .

    He may have some loyalty because the coaching staff took some time with him and a stress problem. He just couldn't sleep.

    I have head to expect him to sign in the area of 2 million.

    Moochie Norris has said in a chat on the CBA website that he would love to remain on the Houston Rockets for the rest of his NBA career. Norris said the only other team he might consider is the Washington Wizards because he is from Washington, DC.
