    How could something be "better" than "perfect"?

    I don't remember where I read that Yao can get out to another team with the agreement of his current MAX contract. Being not familar with trade rules, but I got the impression that Yao is not really locked up with Rockets.

    Could anyone explain?

    He can opt out of his contract in 3 years, I think.

    PJ's latest quote regarding Yao and Amare's FA...basically he thinks the front office was smoking crack thinking either would go to LA...

    "There were a couple of ideas that the club had that I disagreed with, and that's gone by," Jackson said. "Ideas that there would be players that would be centers in this league that may not want to sign long-term contracts with their ballclubs and then eventually be free agents in a couple years did put some restrictions on the direction we were going. But those are really good shots to take. I was in agreement with them, even though I didn't believe those things would happen."

    LOL! Let me translate this for those of you who don't want to read all that.

    Mitch: Phil we think we're gonna go after Yao when he comes up for FA. What do you think?

    PJ: uh, I'll let Jim take this one.

    Jim Mora: Yao Ming?! Don't talk about Yao Ming! You kidding me?! Yao Ming?! I just hope Kobe doesn't get arrested again!

    We could trade Yao for Odom. With Steve, Cat and Odom running the break, it would be over!

    That'll make much more sense; In 2002 the lakers were still Shaq Daddy's team and I don't think anyone in their franchise would consider dealing for a top-1 pick but ended up < 10 min court time in the coming season.

    Typical hangover from an ex-champion team.

    You need to look into Rocket history before making a statement like that! You either chose to ignore the facts, or do not know them.
