    trade T-mac for Le-Brown, which can satisfy all of us. :)

    If we don't get a star player this off season to help Yao out then I could see him wanting to leave Houston (like the possibility of Lebron leaving the Cavs) if we don't make the finals or even more if we start another streak of losing in the 1st round. We should be as concerned as Cleveland is about possibly losing Lebron in 2010. That's why you see the Cavs trying to possibly get Shaq and there's even rumors of them firing Mike Brown. Morey should do whatever it takes to keep Yao on the team past 2010 cause it just wouldn't be the team without the big guy. :( We lose him; we lose a lot of fans, endorsments, money, and most of all, a great guy that's a top 2 center in the league today. This is the year that makes us or breaks us.

    GET IT DONE MOREY!!

    Not necessary a star player. Role players that fit the system would do. Players that do not get injured often and players that can play within the concept of team play. Of course, getting a star player would be great but it also probably mean giving up pieces that have fit so well with this team. Yao will be a Rocket for a long time.

    Probably a championship ring in 3 years. Marketing would be a dream come true for the Rockets.

    Awesome for Rockets? I don't see how. Awesome for legend YOHs like you?

    Do you ever wonder why only 0.1% of posters have that little red square following your screen name?

    I see what you are doing. :) If Les is greedy, he will go for the billions of Chinese and Hispanic fans in Houston and around the globe.

    Any of the 30 team owners would love having those two players not only because of their talent BUT because what they bring in the marketing of the team worldwide. $$$$$$$$$ :eek:
