Trade Yao, are you joking? The boss of Rocket can trade everybody except Yao.Yao means money to every team.
I think you are missing the point. At least when it comes to trading Yao or Tmac. Nobody thinks that Yao is "the problem." In fact, he represents a solution. You and I both agree that it is the supporting cast thats the problem. I, however, take it a step further, with the trade, whereas you say, well yao is not the problem. How does that solve anything?
Nobody is saying yao sucks. This is totally crazy. You don't have to trade a player because he sucks. You make a trade because it makes your team better. Yao could fetch 1 to 2 very nice players and an up and coming superstar. Why do u do this deal? Because the rockets are at least 2 midlevel players away to contend seriously for a championship. There wont be able to get those players in less than 3 or more years probably. By then, tmac might be too hurt to do anything. Keeping stars like this just doesnt work on any level.
I cant believe there is trade Yao talk on his 30/15/6 night. This is beyond crazy, it is betrayal. Without Yao's 30 points, this team not even close challenging Dallas. Yao is not the problem of offense.
Fact: T-Mac had questionable shot selection tonight Fact: Yao's offensive production nosedived in the fourth This is the same litany that has been posted on ClutchFans an incalculable number of times. There is no way Yao is going anywhere, it just isn't happening so it's a waste to talk about this idol daydream. The front office also apparently doesn't want to move T-Mac based on comments earlier this year. It's just a shame that people have to get so combative when they are taking about stuff that will never happen. My suggestion is to start giving AB some time if James' percentage doesn't go up. The simple fact is that it will be hard to win against the Dallas's of the world if MJ and Bonzi suck.
Why we should endure all this stupidity? We competed pretty well as a team, just some error at the end and the fault not lies on a single player, but the team as whole. Where is the help D when Yao got isolated with Harris in that play? Any smart player would anticipate a Center will get blown off by the smaller guard for the lay up from 3 pt land. What's up with the TO in the begining of fourth quarter? It's like the Rox thought they got a sure win after the 3rd quarter 18 pts lead already. The thing that really pissed me off would be their attitude as a whole team, this kind of choking happened before, not only once I remembered, why the Rox still played so carelessly after all these crucial time choking losses is beyond me. Maybe RA didn't know their previous choking and therefore failed to warn them about their choking mentality when 4th quarter came.
Wow, great post. You should re-post it every time after that rofflesaurus fool sneaks out from his hole to b**** about Yao.
I agree 100% with the concept. However, realistically, what actual trade could be done where we wouldn't get totally screwed like Minny? Who could we realistically get that would make it worth trading the guy? Of course I mean "worth it" in basketball terms, as no one comes close to Yao's in terms of marketing potential.
TMac took more shots than any other Rox player and made only 6 of them. Any night of 6-19 FG and 6 TOS by Yao would be enough to blame the loss on him. As you said, let's be fair. TMac caused the loss tonight. Period.
I agree with you guys Yao deserve a better team than this. This year I have a high hope for us to go all the way since we finally got what they called bench. But Rockets still missed one thing KILLER INSTINCT if you have the lead on anyone no matter what kind of team they are you have to finish your job with authority you can not let down and relax after the lead. Nobody complain if you we build our lead to 20 or 30. And when you are 5 point- leading with couples minutes left you have an upper hand so try to take care the ball and take good shot. I really upset when Rafer took that three point shot why we only need penetrate for two point of that basket only. I think it is all up to using your head at the end. Other good team they tried to attack the basket but we alway try to jack up a nonsene shot at the end.
Yes, the greatest post so far in this forum. trade yao for Juwan to save the Rockets and make the f**king Maverick suck. Do it right now and no trade yao post any more.
How about trade Kareem to the Lakers for their entire team. Then watch the Bucks win five championships in the 80s. Brilliant Or trade Chamberlain to the Lakers for whatever and watch Philly win championships in the 70s. Brilliant. etc, etc, etc
If Yao is a liability at crunch time, what is/was Shaq. He couldn't even make a free throw if his life depended on it. Ask the Lakers how it has been after they traded an already declining Shaq away and watch Miami win a championship. Yao is the best center of the league in his prime and extremely loyal to the Rockets. Are you crazy?
It's not the big men's job to close the game, ask TD or Shaq. At least Yao can make FTs. Trade Yao for some1 who can close the game, because TMAC cannot do it any more. Does this make sense at all???
lets trade yao for dwight howard and tmac for lebron james... then we will have DoF and LoF...... enough about this branding of fans just because they ask for a trade for yao and tmac. But for 1 thing, trading any of this 2 will create more problem then its worth. Yao is the only center of the team, other than grandfather deke, while tmac is the only PG,SG,SF along with battier that is taller than 6"6. Unless we are getting a superstar at the same position for this 2 players we will not fix any problem. I laugh at those proposing we trade yao for kobe, do you actually think a team of RA,Tmac,Kobe,Hayes and Scola is better than than the current starting 5? Trading a front court player to our already crowded backcourt will fix all the problem? Yao will have defensive problem especially against speedy guards, and yao will always be to slow on help defense. But i be willing to take those in stride because he give so much on the offensive side of the game. The way to solve this, is to have bigger/better guards, devin harris is just too fast for any of our guards while our best perimeter defenders battier/tmac need to guard howard/nowitzki as the other players are too small. We should have a bigger player like a bonzi or a synder just because of their size, they be able to match up to howard, and let battier guard stackhouse who have at least 3 inch on both james and alston.
