Man, if I made a list like this for screwups in my life, I believe I might just shoot myself. Instead, I work with what I have and appreciate it as much as possible. That's all I can do without losing it.
Sometimes it takes an event or series of events to make a bottom. That could easily have been the bottom for this phase in Rocket history. The silver lining is that the Rockets were so bad due to the roster moves that they ended up getting Yao.
Rockets Trade Kenny Thomas for the sake of Eddie Griffin's Potentail for James Posey, who, 5 months later signs with Memphis as a free agent.
Whom they'll end up losing because the Rockets play so poorly that he'll get frustrated and sign with another team rather than be stuck perpetually in medocrity...
Are you serious when you write these comments. You complain about other people who are continually bashing the players but you never have anything positive to say. How can you claim that Yao will be stuck in perpetual mediocrity when he's only been here for a season and a half?
