    no worry, just let's get in the playoff to gain some experience,
    we have a good chance to rebuild this team at summer since
    this summer has a lot of good players available, and we
    can do some good trades. also..we might see a different Yao
    after this season. Hope so . .

    Holy Rudy on a flaming stick, WHY? The Yao we've been watching so far this season has been pretty amazing.

    I'd prefer to see a different EG next season. Or a different MoT. Or TMo. In fact, it would be nice to see Nachbar at all next season!

    Rockets have been rebuilding for a while now I'd say four years some would argue more. (Francis Yao Eddie) :) (Langhi Collier) :( They just have to let this team gell together. Rebuilding is over

    I think what's going to happen in the summer is like this:

    1. won't resign Kenny
    2. will sign a 6'6", 6'7" defensive specialist for around $3mil/yr
    3. will sign a veteran PF for $1mil/yr or trade for one.
    4. might be able to trade Mo. Taylor away
    5. sign a shooter like Steve Kerr.
    6. If we do trade away Kato, it will be for a defensive SF/SG.

    The lineup will be:

    Center: Yao
    PF: A veteran PF / EG off the bench
    SF: Rice /Veteran Defensive SF / Nachbar off the bench
    SG: Defensive Specialist /Mobley
    PG: Francis

    Depending on matchup, two of the SF/SG/PG would be at least 6'5" and up.

    yes but the rebuilding was before Yao gets here, plus.. we need to fix every hole we see if we can

    also.. Yao is doing great and amazing but i expect him can change the game. can change the result in the last moment.

    He is the one The challange only can makes him more Tough

    Why does different always mean something negative? lol


    What he emant was Ming will be much better next season.

    I definitely expect trades. We're not keeping Kenny, that's for sure. We're not keeping Rice either. He has a big, short contract, and we have T-Mo and Boki.

    I'm hoping we make a trade before the deadline to solidify our stance as 3rd or 4th seed. We have to get rid of one PF, or trade 2 for one.

    We need to make 2 deals:

    MoT for Anthony Mason (Deadline)

    Future pick, KT, Rice, and Moochie for Mike Miller and Orlando's worst contract (Anytime, if Hill is healed)

    This league no lack PF but center, this why i don't like the PF to
    play center.

    just like who we played with tonight, The Clippers will have 4 playes available this summer.

    I think some of you people need to take up pocket pool, because you guys don't know **** about basketball.

    Go Rockets!! :)

    we don't need a rebuild, is for the knicks , or the jazz.
