This is almost, not quite, but like the situation we were in last season with McGrady. Large expiring contract. Lots of good possibilities. They did pretty good with that situation. Why not this one?
Let the 1 billion chinese turn the channel instead of watching Yao, and watch his butt get moved faster than a little mouse from mexico that screams arrreeebbba before he dashes off!! :grin:
I know Yao gives us a chance based on the evidence. You didn't hear T-Mac and Artest talking about how much they wanted to play with Clearance Weatherspoon or Rafer Alston. Again, there is evidence to hold out hope that Yao can come back. Look at Big Z. You are basing your opinion on less than a month of limited action. If that was the case, Amar'e Stoudamire shouldn't be in the NBA because he played like crap when he came back from his microfactrure surgery a few years ago. If I remember correctly, there were a lot of talks about him being finished as a player also. Again, using his expiring to get us players we can you now and would still leave us fighting for the 7th or 8th seed. Name one player that you can add that can make us a contender? And Melo might or might not come. But the fact that we were one of three teams mentioned as possible destinations means that the Yao affect is working. The evidence is not on your side.
So how many of you thought you would see this new Yao Ming news coming out? I did. Saw it coming a mile away. I figured this would happen. Just like last year. Now is the time to trade.
What do you guys want? For Yao to be out another month or so before you make your minds up? Don't worry then, you will get that chance.
Who told you that they want to rebuild? I can argue that the rockets want to rebuild, and just let Yao go, rather than take a fat contract from Brand, who had keen problem as well.
Brands played a full season and more. He hasn't had knee problems fo two years now. Phillies current line-up isn't working out as they planned. It has been in the news. I guess you just missed that huh?
This is so stupid, yea lets trade 17mil expiring contract for 2 over paid players on long term contracts so if they don't work out we are stuck with them, hells yeahhh11!
