    Why isn't Yao on court?

    We had to trade Ariza anyway because Cbud requires more playing time and at this rate, he will replace Shane soon (especially if he can play average-decent D)

    Our depth will win us a lot of games this season.

    Whether our 2nd unit is better than the 1st is less significant than the fact that they will usually be better than opposing 2nd units.

    He's got definite potential, but some gaping holes in his game he needs to work on.

    He may well get opportunity to play if injuries come to play later in the season.

    Exactly, they were not exactly playing a Tim Duncan led squad there.

    More specifically, Blair.

    Regardless, the point is that we have phenomenal depth.

    Start the 2nd unit and our 1st unit would kill it.

    We're a team... and a deep one. That's what matters.

    If Morey works a good trade for a star and/or Yao can give us a solid 20+ mpg by mid-season, we'll be in real good shape. No, Yao doesn't look good now but he's going to improve a lot.

    And you are basing this assumption on what? the 6 mins they played together?

    Yao is the main reason the first unit is struggling, there is no chemistry yet...
