Dale Robertson of the Houston Chronicle optimistically predicts that the Houston Rockets will sign Chris Webber, Hakeem Olajuwon, have a solid draft and increase next season's attendance this summer.  He argues that Houston is the most attractive of the teams that can afford Webber.  And, though Webber wants to play for New York, what New York would have to give up in trade would be too expensive.

Robertson also thinks that the Rockets will have $4.5 million left over with which to sign Olajuwon, which he will certainly accept.
