    it's a conflict of interest for him to be devoting energy to another organization while he's under a contract with the rockets.

    he should devote every ounce of his energy to rehabbing to try to win a nba championship.

    Dream set the standard for centers and he should want to live up to that legacy since Yao is the franchise player.

    good points.....i think trevor will fit in pretty well if yao comes back healthy. ppl expected way too much from him. the lakers run last year and the media praise kinda gotten to his head. ariza is a good role player that can hit his shots and can play very good defense if he puts his mind to it like he did with the lakers. right now, i think he is more interested in playing offense and elevating his status in the league. hopefully he is able to recognize that and just play to his strength instead of doing the things he is not accustomed to.

    There has always been a player in the city that the everyone says if we got rid of them it would solve all our problems since 2003. Here is the order of hatred.

    Derek Bell
    Matt Stevens
    Steve Francis
    David Carr
    Brad Lidge
    Rafer Alston
    Brandon Backe
    Tracy Mcgrady
    :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
    I have no clue who's next but as far as trends go its probaly a Texans player. Right now I'm going with either Dunta Robinson or Mario Williams for Texans.

    Have you been paying attention? He is busting his ass rehabbing. Many times is the first one in the gym. See the pictures sitting in the chair shooting hundreds of baskets? Yao has never been accused of not working hard. It is going to be awfully hard to live up to the Dream standard, he was the best player this franchise has ever seen. I want the best Yao, not Yao trying to be Dream.

    Trevor Ariza, a man with a .374 field goal percentage, and averages 16 field goal attempts per contest, is the obvious choice.

    Addressing all the men and women who selected Brian Cook, kindly note that Cook was an essential component in the exchange for Kyle Lowry, and was expected by Darryl Morey to produce as he is currently. I do not pay the man any mind.

    Its sad that Ariza gets bashed for trying to be something he's not. At least he's not going out there thinking he's the best player in the planet and trying to "impose his will" on the other team. :rolleyes:

    He's being asked to do something he's never done before, carry a scoring load for a team, in the long run this may help him get better but when Yao returns and we get another solid SG to contribute this won't be asked of him.

    I'm going to pick on Yao Ming.

    I just don't like that we have a player that is nearly two feet taller than I am.

    He disgusts me! :grin: ;)

    It is pretty obvious it will be Ariza.
