Bottom line is only one team will in the championship at the end of the season every one else gets nothing. At lease we still have Yao and the cash he brings in.
Morey already said that no one was untouchable on this team. I also agree with others, K. Martin is close to be untouchable, all others could be moved if there is a right deal. I also think Yao is close to unmovable this summer because he is on the injure list, it is very hard to evaluate his value when he is not playing.
Two guys that I don't want to see go are Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill. I know the reality is they will be used as attractive trade chips, but I like they're potential and would like to see them develop on the Rocks over the next couple of years. Yes, yes, I know, I know - if we can get a PROVEN talent in return, it trumps potential any day of the week. Just saying I'd like to keep them if possible. -Humer
budinger?? if the raps want him for bosh he would be traded so fast that he wouldn't have time to pack. there are only a few untouchable players in the entire league. those are guys you cant get equal value for. the rockets dont have anyone like that.
A healthy Yao would be the only untouchable, but since he's had some injuries and this big injury missing the entire season he no longer is untouchable just like the rest of the team.
Did you by any chance see the last two games when Yao was shutting Howard down and was a better and more versatile center than Howard.
Did you by any chance see the last two games when Yas shutting Howard down and was a better and more versatile center than Howard. [/QUOTE] Dude, that was in 2008 when Yao dominated Howard but I don't think you'll ever see Yao shutting Howard down again.. Howard is getting stronger and he's so much quicker than Yao.. Hey, I still believe Yao is the 2nd best center behind Howard; that makes Yao the best in the West..
i think Morey is willing to trade anyone if it makes the team better the only person who could be called untouchable would be possibly Yao mainly due to the financial benefits he brings But make no mistake if one of these megastars, Wade, Lebron, Kobe etc were offered to the Rockets for Yao the trade would be made. People who I think wont be traded in the offseason: Yao, Scola, Martin, Lowry
i dont see the need to keep making these threads....it's been clear Yao is the only untouchable, but only because its difficult to guage what a good or bad offer for him would be. Everyone else is tradeable, just look at what happened to Landry, who was suppose to be "untouchable" for man fans..
