    I hope he knows that this starting line-up does not play well together. Everyone in our starting line-up needs 15+ shots to be effective.

    Our only play maker in the starting lineup in Aaron Brooks and 50% of the time he turns it over by over-penetrating.

    If Morey does not wish to make a major trade, I hope Adelman moves Brooks, Martin, or Yao (It doesn't matter which) into the 2nd unit to distribute the shot production.

    With Yao taking all the shots in the beginning of the game, this makes players like Kevin Martin and Luis Scola useless because of their lack of play making skills.

    I don't know what it is, but the Rockets' need a major change somewhere.

    The problem with 0-4 is that it's only 4 loses from 0-8. The West is deep, and some holes cannot be dug out of.

    :(

    The real question is: Will Morey be moved before January?

    Doesn't matter!
    The season would be already over by January.

    Brooks + Battier + picks for All-Star caliber swingman.

    And we are only 16 loses away from 0-20! Geez. I am sure the Rockets won't allow 0-8

    If Morey is really good, he should have traded Yao by now.

    Not that simple. Yao is a cash cow, unfortunately. I think Morey is a very smart (and somewhat overvalued GM) but Les simply won't allow that until at least Yao's current contract is up.

    I get depressed thinking about that fact. On one hand it's always nice for owners to rake in more cash, but on the other hand would Les really sign off on a Yao deal or let him become a free agent if it meant actually WINNING championships?

    January? How about the February trading deadline?

    Even if we don't get our act together this season, I see no reason to panic. We will jell. DM wants to make a big trade, but not out of panic.

    I think he will make a significant trade by the trading deadline.

    And who are we going to offer them? Yao, they'll laugh in our face

    Martin? the same

    This season could come down to how quickly Hill develops his game.

    Morey might want to trade but it takes another willing team. Other teams will take a more unfair advantage after seeing the Rockets need.

    There is no trade out there to be had....

    Morey can only be opportunistic, the team is what it is, the coaches need to figure it out.

    You can not rely on a trade as a way of building a roster, because that is a terrible way to run an organization.

    Oh you mean how for the last 10 years we had a new starting roster almost every single year?

    People don't realize, most championships teams have a core of players they play with every single year.

    Our Fans expect a trade to magically make the Rockets better. Even if we had Melo, we would still be sucking because of chemistry issues and having yet a new starting lineup.
