Webber/Peja are on trading block. If they ask for Yao + Mo + JH (or Spoon) for Webber + Peja (or Miller), will the Rockets at least talk? Personally, I won't. Your opinion?
*time until a YOF says, Yao would be the perfect fit in Sacramento* 5,4,3,2,1 no really..it's something to at least think about but the way we're playing right now..I hate to see these types of threads come up
helllllllllllll no!!!! LOL! At first I thought this was Peja--and that was what I thought when I typed that...now that I see it's webber and MILLER... you HAVE to be kidding me.
I agree. Brad Miller got destroyed by Eddy Curry the other night. He had a good statistical night that Mike D Antonio would be proud of of but let Curry and anybody other slasher or driver to the bucket do as they pleased, and his team lost the game. Yao Ming will never let something like that happen. He is a man who takes pride in being able to play both ends of the court. Webber or Miller don't have that. Therefore Yao Ming has a bigger impact on the outcome of the game.
I wouldn't take CWebb at all. No matter the deal. The guy is a non-factor when it comes to winning big games, he just always seems to make the wrong decisions. I'd like to see Sacto's record the last few years with Webber in the lineup and with Webber out of the lineup. My guess would be that they are just as good a team when he doesn't play! Put him on the Rockets team and he destroys it - he takes the ball away from TMac, and sets himself as the Franchise player. Plus he's old and hasn't got long left as an impact player.... Yao for Stoja and Miller I'd have to think harder about - but I think I'd still decline because I'm not certain that it addresses a significant weakness
I am saying Yao + bad contracts from the Rockets for either Webber + Miller or Webber + Peja. Webber has to be in the deal since he is the one the Queens are trying to unload.
He always put on a hurtful look in the middle of playoff games like he's thinking, "I'm not going to **** up this year... not this year!!!" Then on a game 6 or 7, he shows his true colors by disappearing or getting injured. hah!
Webber is the posterchild for superstars that will never bring home a championship. Like Peja, he only dominates when nothings on the line. If it's the 4th quarter of a must-win playoff game, he's invisible. It should be embarassing to him that Mike Bibby is the only guy that's made noise in clutch situations. Adding to that, he's got that most frightening deal in the league - amazingly enough, worse than even Houston, Rose, and Kidd. Pick him up, and you're locked into $19.1 next year, $20.7 06/07, and $22.3 in 07/08. He's already shown that he's on his way down, and the downside of the hill is much steeper than the one going up. Beyond that, does Webber come here and happily agree to sacrifice over half his shots and become a role player/3rd option? Can he really be a defensive presence next to Yao at this stage in his career? He's been getting abused by guys the last couple of years. It's just not reasonable. I'd only do it if he agrees to waive his 2006/07 player option (making next year his last). And I think we all know that chances of that happening. I'd rather facilitate a 3-way deal with New York that sends Webber there (pairing him with another classic big-numbers-can't-win guy in Starbury), and brings us Kurt Thomas or Mike Sweetney. And I didn't even touch the ridiculous notion of trading Yao. Even if Brad Miller could be considered to be in the same league (as much as I like him, he doesn't face ferocious double/triple teams each night), the team revenue and attendance would plummet. We're on the right track. Our window of opportunity is wide open. I'd honestly would rather see us make a deal to move up in the draft or dump Mo and his salary. Evan
Look at the deal again. It's Yao for Miller + Webber, not Webber only. And the Rockets get the chance to get rid of 2 bad contracts.
i do not want to trade Yao away. The only plaers i would think about trading for Yao would be Garnett and James and duncan, nobody else. So definetly not Webber
