Pretty sure we have enough average to below average defenders on the roster. We shouldn't be throwing money at anybody that's not going to improve us on the defensive end of the court.

If Yao is the Beatles, Yi is syndicated Monkees reruns. He's a good guy to have around though if you want to do some "addition by subtraction" by getting rid of him in midseason/offseason. So like sort of a Y-factor if you will.
Would you like to see Kelenna Azubuike back in Rockets Red? The New York Knicks have waived guard Kelenna Azubuike. He's been injured this year, but is a good-shooting, good-rebounding guard who I think would be a good addition to the team if he didn't mind coming off the bench next year. Anyone else on board the KA Train?
Do we need him? Is he better than Lee? Does he see this apparent logjam and still have interest? I doubt it.
Could Kevin Love be that star? Obviously this guy is a top rebounder and scorer... and he doesn't seem happy in minny. http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/steve_aschburner/03/01/k-love/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 Wouldn't all our draft picks and maybe a veteran or two also help minny in their "rebuilding process" I'm not sure when Love's contract is up, but I could see him becoming a rocket in the future. What do you guys think?
