I've been reading all these post from people who blame all the teams problems on Yao and from others who blame all the team's problems on Francis. So here's two solutions based off of historical wisdom. Solomon Solution: Lets petition the NBA to start a new expansion basketball team for Houston called the Rockets 2. The nucleus of this team will be Yao Ming. The Rockets 1 will continue to have Steve Francis. The other players will be divided evenly between the two teams and placed randomly. Rudy T can even come back and coach Rockets 2 to solve the JVG vs. Rudy T problem. Having both of the teams unburdened with the major cause of the Rox' failings (either Francis or Yao) will guarentee that at least one of them will go to the playoffs and crush the Lakers, Mavs and Kings in that order to triumph over the sacrificial Eastern conference team and bring glory back to Houston. Thomas Swift Solution: We trade both Francis and Yao. Since if we are to poll Rockets fans about 50% of them seem to think that Yao is problem and 50% believe Francis is the problem therefore 100% of the fans believe that France or Yao is a problem so to guarentee we get rid of the problem we need to trade both. I'm sure these modest proposals will be guarentee success for the Rox and peace and harmony among in the Clutch forum.
