    Thinking based on age, injury history, and salary that we get a second rounder. Very slight chance a late first, but don’t be shocked if it’s a second or just a swap opportunity of the first (like Tucker).

    Posting an appreciation thread before the player is moved should be ban worthy.

    LOL - no - there are no rules about appreciation threads - he is a Rocket's player, why people get so butt hurt around things like this.....relax, have a laugh, and realize that he is being traded.....

    People who don't contribute should be banned, thought, amirite?

    Weird thought about Yao, if he was going to retire, why did he go ahead with the foot restructuring? Seems he could have just let the bones heal and retire......seems weird that he went through that extensive operation only to hang em up.

    Banning people who are poor and cannot contribute, has the opposite effect, negative PR.

    Because he wants to walk painfree?

    Difficult to say because from a medical standpoint, somethings won't be the same.

    Check the Pelicans off of the list of trade partners.

    Translation, "We're not going to risk Mr. Glass injuring himself at the last second, preventing a trade"

    sending EG back to New Orleans would have been effectively serving him a sh#t sandwich for his last meal. He deserves better; I’m glad we haven’t shipped him to a loser franchise.

    …but come on now….it’s time to get this thing done!
