    Yao is still effective. he was avg 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks in only 24 min. he took a step back with his latest injury, but at least it wasnt a serious one. i dont see any1 trading for him and giving us a quality player in return. i think he should, and would, take a sizable pay cut to continue playing for us.

    theres no way that they could have foreseen that yao wasn't going to become the franchise player. if you saw the way he played the 2nd half of 05/06 when tmac went down w/ back spasms and the way he played before he hyperextended his knee in the first half of 06/07 there was no way that you could have said he wasn't going to be the franchise player. the man was consistently putting up games of like 30/12 and there was nobody on other teams that could stop him

    This guy's an idiot. Dump Brooks and keep the most injury prone player in NBA history. He must've not watched any Rocket games in the last few years. Aaron Brooks is our best playoff performer, so why would we trade him?

    SPECIAL BLEACHER REPORT!

    WE NEED 2 WAY PLAYERS LIKE LUKE WALTON AND RICHARD JEFFERSON. I THINK CAT MOBLEY AND FRANCIS MAYBE WERE 2 WAY PLAYERS ALSO!

    ONE WAY PLAYERS LIKE JOHN AMAECHI WILL NOT SUFFICE HERE IN ROCKETLAND!

    WE HAVE TO BE OPEN TO BOTH SIDES!
