I didn't know much about Shane Battier before he joined the Rockets, other than some vague statements that about fundamentals. I quickly became a...
You mean Favors, two future picks, and Devin Harris got Deron Williams. Harris was the biggest piece of that deal. Although the Sonics were...
If the draft class is widely regarded as mediocre or weak, with no sure fire superstar like LeBron, Howard, or Durant, then people aren't going to...
What is this "talent" people speak of? "Recording triple-doubles?" We're talking about a guy who couldn't even start on a terrible Nets team....
Problems with tanking: 1. The draft class needs to be strong enough for tanking to be worth it. 2. You need to scout the right guy, and be...
The Rockets with their well-respected coach and highly ranked offense should change things to accomodate a sophomore with who was recently sent to...
The game was held in a big market, there were exciting new stars like Blake Griffin (a hometown boy no less), and we didn't have 3 or 4 lame...
LeBron wasn't the absolute monster in his rookie season that he is now, but he was still performing at a damn good level. He didn't make the...

As a big Yao fan, I think Yao should be traded. It will be a fake trade no matter what, done just to satisfy technicalities so that the other...
After accepting the premise that Yao is not the superstar that he was signed on to be several years ago, Yao's contract right now is a win-win...
Trade Yao after talking to him and telling him that he'll be welcome to sign with the team again in the future, if he's well enough to play. Are...
Like you could've done better with the majority of the team's salary tied up in two always-injured stars. Yao's $17 million expiring contract...
Tanking is a funny thing. Theoretically you're increasing your team's chances of doing better in the future. However there are still ethical...
Rockets irrelevant? Multiple 50+ win seasons over the last few years is irrelevant? Most of the league wishes it had what Houston's had. I...
Someone please find a short clip of Yao's multiple under-the-backboard fakes against the Pacers during his rookie season (remember when the Pacers...
Morey's a Moneyball guy. Unfortunately, the smart money is not on Yao Ming. :(
