    So that means that when the playoffs are here and we finally make it past the 1st round you will finally give this trade your blessing? :confused:

    Pppffttt!

    This is a good trade much needed youth injection to this team. And now 1 scrub get's traded and now "people can't recognize this team"?

    Now that's what I call bandwagon boppers!

    Rafer is not God!

    I would LOVE if Yao retired this season, or walked out on his. Absolutely LOVE it. He is the worst thing that has happend to this team concerning advancing in the playoffs and winning (ok he brings money, idc about that though)

    How about holding up a sign in Toyota center to deliver your message to Yao?

    Wrong. RA was -by far- the worst shooter on our team. He had his good side as well (defense and low turnovers) but c'mon now you are overreacting to a very high degree.

    The math is Champion-TMAC- PG = lottery team
    How many of fans here gave up hope before this bad trade? Nobody.
    We lost TMAC, but we got Wafer! Why make this stupid trade, I fail to understand, really

    Even if you were true, RA was the worst shooter on our team. Is KL better than him?

    Even worse than that. we are still going to make the playoffs, so we dont even have the right to play lottery.

    I do not dislike Yao, his style play just isn't effective in the NBA. He can't even play in an all star game. Everyone on our team must change their offense for Yao, and most the time when we try toget him the ball he drops it, or misses it, and its an automatic fast break on the other end. when he does get down to the other side of the court, he either draws a foul or his man makes him look dumb.

    If another decent PG is is coming, I wont complain anything.
    But now we have only Brooks, who is great at penetrating but not that good at passing.

    So you think Rafer is the key to our success, not Yao?

    Get real


    I am not saying that Yao would leave just because alston is gone.
    If Rockets do this trade just for salary concern, why Yao want to stay here?
    How can a contender team do this kind of trade right now? We are still in the playoff run.

    And if I were me, oh wait I am me, anyway, me being me I am not sure how much I would miss him, not sure you can win with him or atleast without him and a very good, like the absolute best supporting cast in the league.

    I'm talking "Yao, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Luis Scola and Chauncey Billups" good supporting cast. How likely is that to happen, not very.

    Rafer is not the key. But basketball is a team work, he did his job for Rockets for the past years. We are playing a game with salary cap, we can not get CP3 as our PG because he is too expensive.

    That will be because they have the best center in the league.
