    I saw alot empty seats on rocket's home game...why don't we get Zhuzhu(since Clipper doesn't want him anyway...) and Bateer.
    Then...there will be 130million more rocket funs...
    :D
    But seriously, would it be nice if we have
    C-YaoMing--ZhuZhu
    PF-Cato--Bateer
    (I don't know if it will work out or not, but at least that lineup could ...stop shaq?)

    I don't know...it might be a hiphop thang, black ppl seems don't get along with FOB. But, webber seems get along with Divac, so as me and my roomate. :p

    I think that is an interesting possiblity... that is to use the Rocket's experience with Yao Ming and international players to exploit the talent pool of Chinese basketball. Since the rockets already have Yao Ming who is familiar with their system, any Chinese player will have a much easier time acclimating to the environment and, more importantly, will be more comfortable and willing to play for the rockets.

    We should use the early hardships and current trials to our advantage -- we already did the hard part with Yao Ming, just do it again with Yao's help. We could use Zhizhi and better utilize his abilities than the Clippers are. We could probably get him for chump change as well. Think of it, another 7 footer with shooting ability for a fraction of what we pay Moochie. Zhizhi has his problems as well, but many of them are the same as Ming's.

    This might also be a good way to introduce Chinese guards and other talent for a bargain price. Quite frankly, Yao Ming's prescence with the Rockets has many advantages... in the future it might be worthwhile to take advantage of them, especially when no other team in the NBA has that advantage.

    Uhhh... No thanks to this deal...

    This is coming out from a Chinese mouth...

    Even though we want to get attraction from other places around the world, however we need to have good quality players playing for the Rockets... and I am not sure if Wang or Bateer can do the job...

    :( Zhuzhu is not a quality player?
    :( Bateer is not a quality player also?
    I saw most Zhuzhu's action from Mav's game...but I heard he's more then just a 3pt shooter
    ----
    anyway...I don't think it's gonna happen...since Zhuzhu had pissed off ChineseGovernment...and Rocket are in some kind contract with ChineseGovernment, because of draft yaoming...
    nevermind...
    I'm a zhuzhu fan by the way...really wanna see Zhuzhu and Drik play together...T_T guess he's gonna spend rest of his life on CLIPPER's bench

    We dont need Wang on this team. He's still not that good of a player by NBA standards yet.

    if wang cant get playing time on the clippers then why would he get playing time on the rockets? right now wang is just a taller version of matt bullard, who i love but he wasn't very versatile.

    Wang could become a hot commodity though. Did you see how he poked those balls away from Ming, it's like he knew exactly what ming was gonna do. If Ming becomes the player we know he can, teams might be interested in finding a Ming "Frustrator."

    I would take Wang for Moochie right now. Wang can be a good NBA player he just needs to be on the right team and have the right coach, like the Rockets! Wang coiuld play PF or C for us. I don't think we need Bateer though.

    Crazed Chinese fools. :D
    But really, I wouldn't mind taking Wang for Mooch, but Wang would be playing crap minutes on the rox. Besides getting rid of Mooch though I wouldn't take Wang at all. Nor Bateer. Don't get too overzealous with the Chinese players thing..

    I will bash Moochie everyday until the day Rudy trades him. He doesn't have any outstanding athletic ability and ball handling skills. I would trade him for Stockton.

    LOL, now that we've tapped into the Asian market, let's tap into the next most populous country in the world:

    India.

    Who's going to search for the best Indian player in the world and turn 500million Indians into the Rockets direction?

    Wang and Bateer just aren't good NBA players. Maybe in time they will improve, but they would not be an improvement to our team.
