    No need to get offended, stop being so sensitive. Be strong and don't let critical comments offend you, for all humans get talked about in some negative fashion at some point in his or her life. You cannot go in life wanting to slap everyone that don't agree with you. I'm here the same reason you are, now suck it up and stop being so weak minded.

    Go Rockets!

    If you were a realist you'd know that no team in their right mind would trade 24 year old for a 32 year old. Again, tell me who will stop Yao once Shaq is gone? Yao does not have to be physically dominating because there are so many facets to his game. He can dominate in so many other ways. A realist would also not give up on Yao after only 2 years of playing in the NBA. You give Yao 20 touches a game and I'm sure he'll dominate just fine, you just have to realize it.

    Yao at PF? he doesn't have the moves of a PF. Shaq at PF will be more eligible, though i know this trade is not going to happen.

    Your sentiment for Yao is getting in the way of your ability to think rationally. A wise team would trade a 32 year old for a 24 year old if the 32 year old is the most dominant player in the game. Yao will never be at 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 what Shaq is at 32, 33, 34 or 35. I seen enough of Yao to know that he will never be a 82 games dominant player on a consistent basis. He will be dominant in maybe 1/3 of the games he play. Like I said before, Yao will be a little better than Rik Smit. All the physical centers in the NBA will give Yao problems.
