If the Rockets even mentioned that they even consider the possibility of trading Yao Ming and it got on the wire, within 15 mins every team would be contacting the Rockets to say- select what players you want for him, we want to have him!
Please................. This team will be BETTER if you logjammed position 4 with 5 to 6 power forwards, and playing with a scrub centre??? You just forgot how the Rockets, playing WITHOUT Tracy McGrady almost beat the Boston Celtics on January 2 when Yao Ming + Bonzi Wells contributed 44 points and dominated in the interior. http://www.nba.com/games/20080102/HOUBOS/boxscore.html And how we beat the Phoenix Suns with Yao Ming dominating in the interior eating up Amare Stoudemire + Shawn Marion alive on November 28. http://www.nba.com/games/20071128/HOUPHX/boxscore.html
maybe its just me, but I just saw the comment you replied to as severely sarcastic. everyone knows that Houston got KILLED on the inside in the boston game and sorely needed an inside presence... maybe its just me...
Boston has killed EVERYBODY inside so I don't see what your point is. I mean Kevin Garnett is in there what did you seriously expect? And who do you expect the Rockets to get to combat him Tim Duncan? The only way the Rockets could combat him is with a healthy Yao Ming, who would have butchered Boston in the paint.
Yao 2007-2008 13.7 M next year 15.0M Scola 2007-2008 2,9 M next year 3.1 M And Marion 2007-2008 16.4 M, next year 17.1M perfect!!!! Chinese Fan eager to this!!! Yao is tired to play with 20-30% shooters...
SUNS wants to get something in playoff this year. So they give up Marion and get Shaq. A good playoff team must have a good center. that's obvious. Trade Yao? if rox wants to rebuilt, give up Yap, means give up a champion combo. think about it....
Yeah.....that's EXACTLY WHY this proposed trade by Dr.-knows-nothing-about-basketball does not make any sense, business or basketball wise to start with. HOW will the Miami Heats be willing to give up Shawn Marion + NBA 1st or 2nd pick which is at HIGHER value for Yao Ming?? That STUPID trade proposal will be thrown out of the window the minute it arrived at Miami Heats GM desk.
Wanting the Rockets to get size is one thing, that's fine. If it's because Boston killed us that's crazy. Again, Boston has a former MVP at PF and one of the most talented players of all time. A 7-foot PF.
What size?? How tall is Shawn Marion? How tall is Michael Beasley? HOW is this Rockets team be BETTER, when it will be logjammed with 5 to 6 of all these 6ft 9 or 10 small or power forwards, while missing a dominant > 7ft centre in the middle?? I really don't care how great this Michael Beasley will be 3 to 4 years down the road. For Christ Sake, the kid has not yet declared for NBA, and may not be NBA ready. You bet your team's future on an unproven rookie and an aged selfish over-his-prime Shawn Marion? GIVE ME A BREAK......
oh yeah, it's all yao's own doing with some of the major injuries in the past, like when hayes landed on him during a clipper game or when okur kicked yao's foot during the utah game!?
