    Smart kid.

    Re-read Troy's statement in this thread. It's worded so it really can't be wrong. If we don't draft Ming, we'll draft one of the other highly regarded picks, but not Jay Williams. Boy, that's going out on a limb. :)

    Troy, when you where having breakfast with Jim Rome, did he happen to mention to you anything about spelling his name correctly? From listening to his show, it sounds like that is a pet peeve of his.

    If Francis aint happy and Dunleavy for #1???????? man thats not right....I say we take the best trade possible. Too much heat in Ming around Steve and Cuttino. Odom and some draft picks sounds good with me...then maybe trade them....just my opinion.

    I have 3 fingers down and one thumb with one finger in the middle pointing up JUST FOR YOU.

    I got permission to post that about Francis comments to some extent. You will see the domino effect if Ming is drafted as a Rocket and we fail to make the playoffs.
    Let everyone start sweating when Francis prolongs his signing an extension. Everyone is banking on Francis signing this summer.
    Well,July is near and in the coming months you will see just how much Francis runs this team.....Like it or Not.

    You guys can flame me all you want but the truth of the matter is you guys who just started posting after Ming's name surfaced, I have one question for you....Where the hell were you last year.
    And all you Ming lovers I wanna see the seats filled with you people who think we should draft him.

    This does not apply to those who live outside of Houston.

    Earlier, you posted that Ming would belong to the Rockets for roughly ten minutes and that a major trade scenario with the Clippers and Bulls was in the works. Now that seems to be all off and Francis will hold the team <i>hostage</i> in regards to signing an extension. If Francis has as much influence on team decisions as you imply, then the Ming trade scenario that you mentioned earlier would still be in force.

    Aelliott and others asked you intelligent questions about many issues last time and you ignored them. Yet, you keep calling for others to respond to your question? If you want to call other people out to respond to you, then you should be willing to respond to those who call you out.

    Have you started working on a <i>Farewell Thread</i>?

    Its becoming obvious Troy knows and is close to Francis to some extent. I believe Troy is passing us legit information when it comes to Francis's personal stance on Yao Ming. I also believe Troy is very passionate about his desire in making sure MIng does not become a Rocket. This is what makes him sound like an *******. Because an innocent scoop becomes muddled by his personal favoritism for Steve Francis. Maybe with the addition of Ming, and therefore the subtraction of Steve, he loses a friend to hang around with.
