    you're considered young until you goto the playoffs and lose a few years. They're still young in the fact that none of their players (maybe JJ) is on the downside of their career... yet.

    It really depends what you consider 'young'. I think the best way to put it is that the Rockets' most important players (i.e. Ming, Francis, and Mobley) are all yet to enter their prime.

    When your best player is in his 2nd season, you're a young team.

    How old was Magic when he won the championship, or Bird, or Kareem?

    Young has nothing to do with it...skills and smarts do.

    We were young. But since we acquired JJ, MJax, Spoon and got rid of Posey, KT,etc, we are now old.

    No, they are not young, they only have young IQ relative to their age.

    Steve Francis will be traded for AI. Mark this.
