Fire Carroll Dawson

According to Mark Berman of Fox 26 (according to Clutch Fans), Scott Padgett, star of the 1997-1998 National Champion Kentucky Wildcats, has opted out of his contract for the 2005-2006 season. If this is true, you can (a) eliminate all consideration of the Rockets as serious NBA Finals contenders in 2005-2006 and (b) consider Carroll Dawson on the hot seat.

OK, I'll attempt to shed a fiber of my bias. Truly, I imagine that Scotty P. has intimate knowledge of the current situation with regard to the labor negotiations, and I would bet that he knows that he's likely to be able to make more money later in the summer (under the prospective new deal) than his current option affords him the opportunity to make. Intelligence is one trait that #35 has that his fellow playas are lacking, not surprisingly.
