he is athletic dude. have u watched him? when he dunks, his head is near the damn rim. he just doesn't fit jackson's system. and he was injured this yr. and he's slow?? undersized?? he's 7ft. and he's quick enough to guard PFs. know the players first. and before anything, the lakers want to trade him before we want to trade howard. so we won't take back any bad contracts
When you make a thread about trading one of our player, you better state the trade you want!!!! Try to be realistic and make sure it actually work! Simply asking to trade yao or t-mac or whoever is pointless! gotta be more specific.
The point of the thread was that we should start re-building now, because we can't become an elite team with our salary cap situation. The only way to re-build is to get flexibility by trading Yao or T-Mac. But I can take it, flame away at these trades that I would make if the other team would bite and the salaries fit: T-Mac for Redd, filler and a top 3 pick Yao for #1 pick plus gasol and filler Yao for #1 pick plus Al Jefferson, Szczerbiak, filler if needed McGrady for #1 pick plus Al jefferson, Szczerbiak, filler if needed McGrady, Howard for KG filler on either side to make work McGrady and any rockets beside Yao and Battier, for Lewis and Allen McGrady, Alston, and filler for Lewis, Allen, Ridnour McGrady for Igoudala, Miller, 1st rounder this year, 1st rounder 2009 Yao for Bosh, Calderon, filler McGrady for Brand, maggette filler on either side Mcgrady for Brand, Livingston filler on either side McGrady for Brand, mobley, 1st rounder, filler on either side
If you trade away Yao/T-mac, you are definitely not going to win anything in the next 3-5 years. We can still accumlate and grow talent without doing that.
i can't believe because of one series you people aer wantign to trade our franchise player (yao)...and even tracy.... if we would have won game 7, everybody would be chanting MVP for both tracy and Yao......its ridiculous that because of a few bad breaks our season ended but you don't go and blow this team up...those of you that think that are clueless....i'm sure the rockets will add a few pieces here and htere to surround our 2 superstars and that will get us up there as a contender..and that is what i'm happy with...not the 4 million diffferent ideas people on this site have...from trading tmac and yao to the celts or having Battier become a player/coach for us un freakin believable!!!!!
if you trade Tmac and Yao, say good bye to 10,000 season ticket holders (and thats what les cares about)...including me..i would be on the phone to cancel within 5 minsutes and i wouldn't even care that I lost my deposit.... tracy and yao put people in the seats...its a business.... nobody is going to buy tickets for the future...they want to win now..
Yeah, - i'm not advocating trading Yao or T-mac. With those two in place, Les can fill the seats. So all he has to worry about is getting better. I also don't advocate letting JVG go. But I do think he needs to think a bit longer term and the "win-now" pressure has to be taken off him and institute a 3 year plan. We need to get better - better playoff success - not better regular season records.
I think this combination doesn't need to be broken up. We just need to add another guard and a 4. I don't think anyone wants to rebuild.
