    ....if a tree falls in the woods and the lakers don't, or more specifically, Kobe doesn't, hear it...

    does it make a sound ?:confused:

    Yao is not worried, why should you? He still made most money among sports stars and movie stars in China last year. Yao doesnt seem to be a money first kinda guy. Going to LA, leaving what he already have just doesnt make sense.

    The only team I know that don't care for Yao is the Suns. This is the only team that haven't give Yao credit for anything even after his dominant performance last week. Their coach D'Antonio dislike Yao and even called him out that he shouldn't start in the all-star game.

    Where is this KG talk coming from? Is there a credible source out there? I don't think so. Just to clarify you can't have three max players on one team. So to get KG, you would have to get rid of either T-Mac or Yao. The Rockets will not do that

    Trade Yao for Earl Boykins before he is able to walk away! While Yao's underachieving (not my own opinion, BTW), Boykins overachieves every time he steps on the court!

    D'Antonio is an idiot...I lost a lot of respect for him when he made that statement...he had 3 players from his own squad make the All-Star team...so what the hell was he whining about?

    I heard someone mentioned that Yao wants to leave the Rockets to be the next Chinese Chairman. Dang! How can that be? We need him more than China! CD, JVG, TMac, do something. Talk to the guy. Fans, let's write him a open letter asking him to stay...

    Download the CBA.

    Please present me the Article and/or Section in which it is stated three max players is not allowed.

    Thanks.

    How is that a double edge sword? The Rockets will be able to offer more than any other team. His big payout will come from here. And by all accounts the Rockets are getting everything in place to be able to do that.

    The rumor I heard has CD setting up a deal that will get us both during the offseason... Duncan will play center, and KG at the four spot. Of course, that means we'll have to pass on LeBron, according to my sources.

    Depends upon who else is there, and who is coaching the Lakers. The Rockets have given him very little reason to be loyal to this organization. Not that he WILL bolt, but the possibility exists.

    Even though Kobe may play better individual D than T-Mac, overall the Rockets are playing better team D than the Lakers. And as last night's game demonstrates, there's no way Kobe can keep up his defensive intensity throughout the game AND finish the second half with any type of offensive intensity.
