The Rockets are in dire need of an explosive, scoring power forward to complement Yao Ming up top. One name that keeps popping up is Antonio McDyess, a player the Rockets were once thinking about in the past but couldn't afford at the time. Instead they went with Scottie Pippen, but this time around Dice's stock has dramatically decreased with injuries. Regardless, his agent assures us McDyess is healthy enough to start a season right now, and can play any number of minutes or games a team needs.

"I have had no ... conversations with the Houston Rockets about Antonio McDyess," Miller said. "But Antonio has indicated to me that, one, remaining in his adopted hometown of Houston, Texas, is very appealing to him. He loves the city and community.

"Two, he has a high regard and respect for the team, its personnel, management and coaching staff. And three, this would provide him the opportunity to win, to contribute to the success they are having, and to go over and above what they've already achieved."
