    It seems that he does not get along with his teammates, whcih is essential for this team to thrive. So let's trade him for the sake of the rest of the great team.

    FYI: From HoustonChronicle

    Divac feels for Yao

    As much as Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich can make a case that "no one has ever done this" about Yao Ming's unusual adventure, Kings center Vlade Divac comes close. Yao is the first player solely from an international league to be taken in the NBA draft and has drawn rare level of scrutiny, and the curiosity of Divac.

    "I can relate to what he's going through," Divac, the Lakers' first-round pick out of Yugoslavia in 1989, said. It has been a long time since I came here. But I remember there were a lot of difficulties.

    "First, the language and then the system. And not just international guys, but you see in a lot of rookies, they are not consistent. And his game is the same way. But he's going to be a great player."

    Divac said Yao's success early in his career could depend on his teammates.

    "For him, I think it's very important how (the Rockets) adopt him," Divac said. "I was lucky. The whole Lakers organization helped me a lot.

    "Hopefully, the Rockets are doing the same for him." :mad:
