Yeah, oh wait, Hakeem, the most treasured player in Houston Rockets history, who you probably never even saw play, never won a ring until the age of 30. How old is Lebron again? Get out of here with that BS.
does anyone else think artest takes way too many bad shots? tmac does too, but he makes them a lot more. artest seems to just jack up some terrible shots in my opinion and his defense isn't all its cracked up to be. besides the miami game, i have not really been that impressed by him. battier is a better defender imo. artest gambles too much and gets drove on, and roy was just choppin him up like celery...now i know he adds a lot of toughness to our team, but would trading him for rashard lewis make our team better? i think it would make us better offensively as our offense seems to struggle at times. or artest and package him with others (head or whoever) for turkoglu adonal foyle and cash or picks?
Hey, what about trading Yao for the Superman? I'm so disappointed that so many of you step out to speak ill of Yao just after a loss. No matter how good a player is , first he must have good teammates to help him. look at what kind of role players were there after the deal of our three starting players for tmac. I really hated to think of the seventh game with Maverics and Utah. How badly we needed a power front who knew offense. Of course, I respect Hayes for his defense, but could Hayes be the starting power front in any other NBA teams besides Rockets? Look at what Kobe had done without Shaq before Gasol came to him! No better than Tmac and Yao. And now we have Scola, we have Landry, but Tmac is out and Ron is still struggling, and the most important thing is that we have Adleman as our coach who still doesn't know how to use a dominant center and who always makes puzzling decisions at crunch time! Our coach always forces him to do what he is not good at. In terms of his salary compared to some other coaches, I have to admit he has done quite a good job. Yes, we all know Yao can't jump high, can't guard 3 pointers, moves slowly and doesn't dunk often. Oh, he has bad defense. Just think why Adleman has to play Yao too much on the court though it seems everyone knows it's not good for a big man. I just see when Yao is out, all our opponents choose to attack our rim. There is one man with such a height who could still jump like Amare, dunk like Howard and Shap, and was as flexible ,aggressive as Kobe. That's the superman. So, what about trading Yao for the Superman? BTW, Yao gets about 15million a year, what will be the salary of our superman?
