BOO HOO...Yao didn't get this blah blah blah...I'm tired of all the cry babies on this team. Since when does Yao get to pick what is best for the Rockets future...That is why the big bucks are paid to Morey and his stat staff...they see things in players that Yao doesn't. If The Dream, the biggest legend in Houston History, was only called in twice (the clyde trade, and when he was traded to Toronto) then that tells you Yao has NO REASON to be upset....I guarantee you if the Rockets were to trade for Yi then I know that Yao will be contacts right away and asked about his opinion. I really don't know why Yao would be upset that Rafer is gone...our team looks almost the exact same (including our bench) The only thing I can think of is that Rafer worked his butt off on pick n rolls because he knew Yao sucks at P&R defense...so Rafers great P&R defense didn't make Yao look as bad as he is going to now. Our team is going to struggle big time on the P&R because Yao is not mobile enough to come out and play proper D on it.
So you think 激动 = emotional? Ok, let's just drop this discussion because this certainly won't interest most people here.
Man, re-read my post. And for the record the 2nd trade trade Dream referenced was Barkley. AB hasn't shown the ability to throw a consistent post-entry pass, Lowry hasn't played with a dominant center, so does that get any of your synapses firing? Yao's not the only one that doesn't see this as helping us this season. There's not much to cull from this article, but I'd say those same things if I were Yao. And keep saying "boo hoo" in reply to sentences you don't undersand. It makes you sound special.
This comment here speaks more than what many realize. Morey will always struggle with owners for this very reason. I like Yao as a person. I like him as a player. Him and MeMac are very very different, but their circumstances are very similar. Both can get max contract, (maybe not Tslack anymore - who's to say) unfortunately neither have the capability to carry the team. Unfortunately for Morey, Yao is a huge financial asset to Les. Like it or not, Yao is not pulling his contract's worth on the floor. While I do not believe he is a liability on the floor like Tslack, I think we can get better talent for the money.
Dude I wasn't trying to call you out...I was using your post to reference the Dream trades and make a point that even Dream wasn't included in management decisions the way Yao is b****ing about (assuming the article is accurate)
the chinese don't stop speculating and trying to make stories of nothing.. im sorry to burst your enormous chinese bubble but yao is overrated, always has been, always will be... and if yao wanted to prove himself by going deep in the playoffs this season with rafer, then i think he should still be able to do so without rafer.. we still got a chance to do some damage this year in the playoffs and if yao thinks hope is lost because we traded rafer, then ****, i think we're screwed. i personally hated the trade as well, and i hate the way tracy has carried himself even more. But despite all thats happened, i think we still got a shot at makin some noise come playoff time.. btw i know it sounds like i hate yao, but i dont.. i like his personality and love his work ethic, but the problem is hes simply too slow and not aggressive enough around the rim.. either way, i think he can help us go far.. lets go rockets!
I don't know if this is true or not but it's reminiscent of the crap T-Mac pulled with Horace Grant in Orlando. If true this just goes to show you why you don't cater to a prima donna and a drama queen. If true T-Mac's just a disgusting human being.
easy. it doesn't matter who reported it or which website it is on. sina, espn, it ain't matter. i use my own judgment. you use yours. in this particular case, it's all opinionated speculation and hardly any facts. all i have seen lately is a happier yao (unless he's acting).
To be frank,I don't think we had less possibility to pass the first round after this trade.I allways believe we can move on to the championship.
Yeah, i agree it, Rox can pass 1st round even without R-Alston. It's not truth for those words about Yao and Mo . I dont trust it.
Yao reads, in English, slower than Morey. Give him time to catch up. What page is Morey on? Hehe, sorry. Midnight brings bad humor.
michael jordan was rarely consulted in trades. until yao proves he can lead this team, then yea, he can gripe about it. we've won this year without tmac more on team ball than yao ball. and you can argue scola is the most consistent player this year. morey is a smart guy. he knows.
You still don't get it? That has always been the goal, but until Tracy went out, it wasn't really possible. To be truly elite, you hav to play team ball. You think the Spurs play Duncan ball or team ball? Only if you have truly elite players, you can completely rely on a our two players to get you almost everything (i.e. Cavs, or the Shaq and Kobe Lakers). Even the current Lakers weren't good until Kobe let his teammates play. Obviously Yao isn't close to Kobe's level, but neither was Tracy; that's the reason we've never been pass the first round. Also, think about it, in the past few years (when T-Mac and Yao weren't injured), how often have we ever played team ball? It was just TMac iso and Yao post up, other guys only shoot if there's a double team. Granted talent is much better now, but it wouldn't have really mattered with the ball being in Tracy's hands so often in the half court sets. 95% of the league don't have the horses to build a team like the Cavs, better to be like the Spurs or the Pistons (of a few years ago).
