    i doubt the blazers would trade pryzbilla. Greg Oden not yet a starting center in this league. To injury prone

    According to PBN:"With Houston center Yao likely to miss all of next season with a left foot injury, the Rockets can't be feeling very good. But at least general manager Daryl Morey appears to believe now there's a better chance Yao's career is not over"

    Well, I think if Battier remains with the team, the team can compete.

    Let's face it, on the 22 game win streak, McGrady was missing in action at the start. And then Yao missed out on the end of the season.

    But, Battier has been the only constant.

    Even this season, when Battier was injured, the Rockets struggled. Once Battier got healthy, the Rockets started to win. With and without the stars, as Battier goes, so go the Rockets.

    Nothing new here. I wish they would at least hint who they're targeting.

    We need to find a permenant replacement for yao, I have given up on yao and tmac to be healthy for 1 season. Yao has been a very good center but he doesn't fit into RA's offense and he's also hurt EVERY year so you can't count on him.

    Nice. .......Not thrilling, .......but nice.
    We get 7ft center, they get defense, we get possible lotterypick, Hamed Haddadi(silence!i kill you!) :D . Sweet. But i love battier. If this trade happened, I would die but soon get over it. The trade probably won't go down anyway cuz Morey likes Battier too. But i donno what to think.
    Neat to bring up
    -------------------------
    first time i saw haddadi play, achmed was the first guy i thought of
