    1. Why would Ming fail to live up to the hype like Bradley? How about he lives up to the hype... like Tim Duncan? Or Shaq? Or Hakeem Olajuwon?

    2. How much tape have you seen of Ming? How much have the Rockets seen?

    3. Do you realize how terrible Vin Baker is?

    Troll.

    Worse, he's a TRG troll intentionally trying to stir things up here. Ignore him.

    Haven I know youre not saying that Ming will be in the same mold of a Tim Duncan or a Hakeem.In fact at this point in time Vin Baker is a better player than Ming, Baker would punish Ming down low.

    Ugh.

    Maybe this guy is playing devil's advocate?

    As if we went through all those negotiations for Ming, THEN drafted the guy, so that we could trade him.

    We drafted Ming with the stipulation not to trade him, yes?

    I wouldn't want to trade Ming for some fishing bait (shad).

    DMWT,

    Good to see you here on cc my long time nemesis :D But please stop comparing Ming to Bradley. Ming is clearly more skills and athletic. This is not only evident in workouts but in the International games as well.

    Any chance we could just trade the Rockets for the Cavaliers? At least then we might have a chance for LeBron James and then trade him to Charlotte (um, New Orleans) for Bryce Drew.

    We'd have to make sure we got rid of Andre Miller and DuJuan Wagner first. That's the only way "Don'tMessWithTexas" could get this deal done...

    Vin Baker might be the worst 4 in basketball right now. For the money and the talent, probably the worst bargain in the whole NBA.
