If he does not get his way ie; the $$$ he's looking for from another team & has to just settle for a 1 year 4.5-5 mil.(tounge in cheek)contract from Houston. Do ya'll think this would create an unpleasant locker-room? Since he would not be getting paid what he or his agent(bone-head) thought he should? Or would Hakeem swallow his pride & sign w/us just to prove his detractors wrong? (still can play, injury free etc,etc. Opinions welcomed. ------------------ A HOUSTONIAN lost in dallas
I don't think that he would go throug a season causing a stink, and trouble because he didn't get everything he wanted. I think he knows that he doesn't have that much time left to play and want to play it as well as possible. Sure he may be disappointed he didn't get all he wanted, but I doubt he would be purposefully disruptful. After all look at when the 'Hakeem wants to play for Miami' story came out. He called Rudy to apologize to make sure that there wasn't a disruptive element. ------------------
If Hakeem thinks the money he is getting is unfair he will only sign a one year deal or not sign at all. Playing like a sore losser only would prove his critics right and would make other teams think twice before signing him and he is old enough to know that ------------------
I like to believe that if the Rockets can come within about 2 mil or so of the best offer available, Dream will stick with him Rockets home. ------------------ Founding Father of the Refs Suck Club
