    Imagine this trade. I personally think if Wang can get good minutes, he will produce greatly. This would be a plus for the Rockets because he is a decent center that we really need. Mavs dont lose all with Cato. He gives them atleast more bang and hussle down under than Shawn Bradly. Wang would be a great assist to the Rockets success with his great outside shooting for a center. Personally, i just want to see Wang get used for more minutes. Great talent like that just can't sit on the bench until the last 2 minutes of the game.

    I know Dallas drafted Cato. I don't know if they want him back. I also don't think their salaries match and when Bradley comes back they won't need the Catomic Bomb.

    why would Dallas help a division rival? Wang might turn out to be good and you don't ever want to help someone you might be competing with.

    If we're trying to dump Cato's salary I'm all for it. However, if it aint the salary thing....Call me crazy if ya want...But at this point I think Cato fits in better with our team. At least the dude has some size. Now all he needs is a heart and some brains.

    To me, Wang is too soft. Rockets need more bangers not finesse jump-shooting centers. Players in the OT mold. We already have a jump shooting center in Collier(?)...Personally, if we can get rid of Cato's salary and add another center, I'll be happy.

    Someone like Ervin Johnson might suit us better. I really wish we had traded for outlaw.

    Why must people bring their personal lives into a basketball conversation?

    3 oclock- I will call you crazy. Cato doesn't fit anyone's theory of a cente unless you call for a lazy bum whom shows up 1 time every 4 games. He sux and they should make every effort to rid him of this team.

    hahaha,..leebigez, :)

    i think it's cuz I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that we're gonna be stuck with the "bum" for a long looooong ~~time. I'm being realistic. I mean, who in the right man would want him? Denver and Chicago aren;t options anymore with the recent turn of events.
    Might as well get use to it...I'm not giving up hope though...who knows, maybe griffin can punch some sense into him. :D
