Sixer fans should not hold their breath waiting for a championship just because their team picked up Moses Malone. With Houston, Moses was probably the premier center in the game; however, lining up with Erving, B. Jones, Toney, etc., Moses will find points and rebounds harder to come by. Caldwell Jones was an important player for the Sixers and will be sorely missed. Chemically he was a key team member. I think you Rocket fans are the ones who should be riding high. Caldwell will play well for you and next year your team stands a good chance of picking up either Sampson or Ewing. Also, since the Rocket organization will not have to dish out the all that money demanded by Moses ticket prices will probably stay put or just rise a little. It is amazing guys get paid so much for dribbling and shooting a basketball. The kind of money Moses is going to be making is just unbelievable. Heck, you would think this guy was the biblical Moses..... Thurman (columbus, OhighO)
