Subject: Cato Anyone?
How about getting Kelvin Cato? I've always
liked this guy and on a few occasions have seem him put up all-star
numbers.
If he could just get some consistency. I
know there's probably not a way to get him though, with his huge
contract.

>>>05/18-CATO TO
PHOENIX?- The Arizona Republic's Bob Young, slid in
little piece today saying that potentially the Houston Rockets were looking to
part ways with Kelvin Cato, and he may be a player the Suns explore trading
for. So lets talk about this, first of all the Rockets internally have said
they felt Cato had a promising future in Houston, and that due to his enormous
contract and less than stellar first year moving him, would be at a loss for
Houston, who has already lost Charles Barkley, and may be looking a
Hakeem-less future too. Cato at the end of the season, stated he was committed
to bettering his game and would be working diligently all summer with Rockets
trainers, and coaches to improve. Cato is a big 6'10, and some say more like 7
foot, and he has great shot blocking and defensive skills, his offense is
virtually non-existent, and his temper and demeanor have made him look like a
bad guy to the officials, but overall he is a solid and serviceable big man.
Its safe to say its highly unlikely Houston moves him unless they are looking
to move his contract, in that case its unlikely Phoenix could make a deal as
they are extremely capped
