    1. they say tmac is till about january, and we got past that with yao and ron ron.

    2. yao went down, we still had a solid team, with ron ron ron as our leader and everyone playing a part.

    3. ron ron becomes free agent, wafer free agent, and everyone is rejecting every offer we throw at them.

    our offense is basically gone, and so is our defense....

    i just want to ask...what did houston do to deserve this?

    i mean i understand this happening to the bulls or the knicks for what they have done to their old legends.... but us? we've always treated our players with respect, and were such good fans and have great teams. but somehow we cant ever do anything because someone is always injured....can someone answer me, why us?

    Why is "random chance" such a difficult concept? Only a handful of lucky people go to Vegas and come out ahead.

    The pendulum of luck swings both ways. It was luck that Danny Ferry passed on Scola and he fell into the Rockets' laps. It was "luck" that they got Artest in the first place. It was "luck" that the ping-pong balls took them from the 4th likely to the #1 Lottery pick for Yao.

    It is baffling to me why so many here have the "woe is us" mindset. There's a HUGE element of good and bad luck along any NBA pathway.

    No No No... First off, Yao and Tracy cant help injuries. I mean you cannot deny the talent these guys have. Who wouldnt take these guys healthy? It just so happens, we have them, they are battling significant injuries. It is the luck of the draw. I mean it could just as easily be the Lakers with this dude named Kobe Bryant who has amazing ability BUT he cant stay healthy... same with Lebron, yadda yadda yadd... It just is the case, they are healthy.

    Tough luck...

    In the case of Ron Artest, I love Ron. I think he is a neat guy... He has a cool personality and plays hard though, he has lost a step. He is not so exlposive anymore. I do not believe Ron is a guy you can necessarily build around. He is a 2nd or 3rd star type. With that said, Tracy is not the old Tracy and may never play for us again and Yao is injured and his status is up in the air. Yao is locked up for a year and he has a player option. Tracy, he and his $23 million are off the books this year. If we commit $30 -$40 million to Ron, we are not sitting as pretty next year to at least try and make a run at a legitimate star.

    I believe Gortat is a good, athletic, big man we should lock up due to Yao's current status. If we give him $30 million or a lil more over 5-6 years and he turns out to be more than we thought, in NBA dollars, that is a steal. We then can add a huge piece next off season to go alonog with a very young core of players in Brooks, Lowry, Landry, Scola, Taylor, etc...

    Just my thoughts... Im not in panic mode at all. I can see Morey and the Rockets strategy here...

    When we drafted Yao anyone who knows sports knew he would probably have injury problems. But I agree it is a bit of bad luck that they are this bad.

    09/10 will be an off year, but I think well be extremely aggressive in the 2010 free agent class. 20M from T-Mac, 8 Million from Ron's contract, and maybe 15 Million from Yao's...that's a hell of a lot of money to use on free agents.

    Hopefully we can get D-Wade for 25M a year and Bosh for 15M a year?
