    I voted for Yao Ming.

    He is not needed at Rockets. They utilize him primarily for defense, rebound, and setting a pick for guards. Cato would be sufficient to do the job.

    Trading the guards is very doubtful. Rudy is loyal to them, and this team has been guards-oriented for ages. Besides, if you were Rudy and you trade one of the guards because of Yao's arrival, aren't you afraid that players lose trust on you?

    Huh? Guard-oriented for ages? I guess it depends on what you mean by an age, but I seem to remember teams built around the likes of Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, and Hakeem Olajuwon.

    I voted for Yao too. I would be so happy to see Yao leave Houston. Trade him to the Lakers for Shaq(BTW, Lakers 4-peat). Damn shaq is so fat now, Yao and Kobe will be so much better for the future. For all ur Rokets fans, u guys don't deserve Yao.

    There are at least 22 non-Rockets fans on this board.

    I know .. I just threw Yao up on the poll just to mix things up but I can't believe people are voting for him.. i would rather see Francis go than Ming.. some of those votes are just troll voters wanting Ming on their team!

    I am a Rox fan but if they dont figure this cr@p out, I vote for
    Yao to just play out his current rookie contract and then go to the Lakers as a free agent. By then, Shaq will be done and Kobe will be unbelievable. Phil will know how to use Yao and Kobe is smart enough to work with Yao. Another Laker Dynasty :(

    The Rockets should definitely trade Steve to a team with fans that will appreciate him...

    I hate the Lakers sooooo much, but this guy is right. The way things are going at present, Rox probably don't deserve Yao. Can you imagine how Yao will be so awesome with the Kings when Vlade retires??? It's like picking up where they left off (without the flopping). ;)

    Maybe they don't treat these polls as seriously as the presidential election. Maybe because the Rockets don't give a crap about these polls. Maybe because even though I love it, it is just a fan website.

    this isn't directed at you Mr. Clutch
    BTW, seriously, Do you really think Les would give up Yao, a complete money maker, and possibly franchise center, to keep a couple of typical NBA players who refuse to pass the ball. I still think the Barkley move was more about marketing than basketball.

    Somebody starts a new poll.

    "What team would Yao fit into the best or vice versa?" :D

    I hope not. But we also have to worry about whether Yao wants to stay with us. I agree with you about Barkley, it turned out to be better matkerting than basketball.

    Yao Ming said in an interview when he was in China that the Kings hoped to get him to replace Davic.

    Don't worry. According to the poll, Steve is the one Rockets fans don't want to go most.

    Peace out Cat Mobley!

    I would take Jefferson, E.Jones, Sprewell, J.Richardson, or how about we dust off old David Jameson (LOL)
