    Yao is the only one not to have a good game? what games were you watching? SF had, what? one good game. mobley turned over the ball how many times at utah? cato? how many minutes did he play last game? If anyone should be traded off the team is Mobley....if you watch the games, he doesn't like to pass into Yao or Taylor when they're open! rather, he'll jack up a 3! He should be gone!

    Yao for Okafor might not be enough, the Rox might have to throw in some more players.

    (Yao + SF3 + future 1st round pick) + (Shaq + Kobe) for Okafor and it's still not enough. Need to throw in JVG and PJ also.

    Orlando would gladly trade their first pick for Yao. Heck, to sweeten the deal, they would let us pick any one player from their list not named McGrady. Don't believe me? Go post this in an Orlando forum.

    Imagine McGrady & Yao plus some spare parts in the East :eek:

    No, it is 100% correct, I'd bet my life on it. As for being a gentleman, I have no respect for liars, so why would I treat them with any?

    Strange... from what I recall the Rockets would still not have clinched yet had it not been for Francis. Francis picked up his play at the right time while Yao's dropped off at the wrong time.

    As people said a lot on this thread: Think before you speak.

    BTW, Yao can trade with their 1st pick straight up, otherwise the salary won't match!!!;)

    Orlando's first round pick counts $0 in a trade, so how does that match up with Yao's $4.1M salary.

    Okafor is going to be a good player, but not nearly as good as Yao is going to be. 'Nuff said.

    Steve Francis has thrown away a lot of close games this year. Not to say Yao or any of our other players are perfect, but goodness gracious.

    Steve did have a great game against Denver. He really stepped it up, and I'm proud of the guy. He also plays hurt. Before the inner ear condition was diagnosed, he would play through the agony of migraines.

    But he has no basketball smarts at all. He has shown he can be an Iverson type player, but that means sending him East. We need to fix our weaknesses at the forward spots. We don't need our star to be a combo guard.

    Damn bro, it's statements like that that makes people think you have some kind of personal issue with Yao. There's just plain hatred streaming from that mouth of yours.

    Well actually Yetti's been a rocket fan longer than you've been alive. Of course he's definately stepped into the Pro Yao / Anti-Steve, Anti-Cat camp since Yao came on board. OTOH quite a bit of other long time posters are falling into the Anti-Steve camp.
