I think it should be explored. With yao having a lot of miles and being injury prone, why not? I mean Kaman is younger and is a better rebounder/shot blocker. If u can get Kaman and livingston and swap picks u gotta give it a serious thought. The rox don't get any extra revenue from china because of yao. If they did , they wouldn't be crying about the luxury tax.
You are a very silly person. Our team is built around Yao - if you trade him for Kaman - first of all we'd be the laughing stock of the world and secondly why would you trade away a top big man who is unstoppable in the low post????
First, the trade deadline has already passed. If you mean in the off-season my response is this: Absolutely. Assuming we can get both Lebron and Dwight for him in a three or more team deal.
Lol of course this starts. Ok realize this, Yao can play only 1 game a year for next 15 years and get paid 20 million a year and he is NOT going ANYWHERE. Les Alexander is going to milk Yao for all he is worth, and whatever that cost Les he knows he is getting a 5x+ return on it, so I can't blame him. Don't even make threads about this...
I cant believe nobody caught the sarcasm of this thread. Same thread about T-Mac gets greeted with 5 stars and a ton of "here here" and "Hell Yeah!" Which was posted after the team wins a big game without T-Mac in the lineup.
Oh stfu, he is injured. That is sports. Does it suck? Yes it does. But everyone on the rockets is considered a "pro". They have to look past it and keep working. Just because someone gets hurts doesnt mean you start talking about throwing the season so we can sit higher in the draft order. People who think this are freakin morons.
Yao Ming, Luis Scola, Steve Francis, 2008 1st round pick for Kaman, Elton Brand, 2008 1st round pick nobody said anything about tanking the season. he noted Yao is now regularly injured for long stretched, and asked if that means we should trade him. Even if he wasn't injured, if you can get a great deal for any of your players, do it. now that he is injured, again, you do have to think harder about it. im the biggest yao fan in the world. but let's not forget the goal here. winning championships. the yao injury just complicates things...a lot. Why? It was becoming a somewhat common thought that if the Rockets didn't make noise this post-season, T-Mac might be on the block. Now what do you do if the team makes the playoffs and loses another tough 7 game series...this time without Yao? what if the opposite happens? what if they continue to win, win the first round series and either win another round or again take it close. then, is Yao necessary. i don't understand why these aren't valid questions. i don't want to see 1,000 threads about it, but to see a few would make sense, given the news just came out today, no?
This just in: This thread is a flip of the knee-jerk T-Mac hater threads saying he should be traded after he got hurt. And you know what, the polar opposite reactions of the equally ludicrous statements of trade star X because they just got hurt is really disheartening for a Houston Rockets forum that has been here long before either arrived and will be here long after they retire.
