    yao should just play 30-31 mins next yr. let landry/scola/deke play more. that will let yao rest but also give a change of pace.

    Why? It's only fair to point out the possibilities the way the Stevie haters do.

    I love how everyone here wants it their way... or just know for a fact who will play next season.


    BTW- in case anyone missed it... this team just whooped the Suns without Yao or Stevie... or Battier for that matter.

    Hm I gotta agree with this. Our team can function pretty well without Yao for the most part, so having Yao play only 30 minutes a night will preserve his career and prevent less injuries. Only when we play against other big teams would we need Yao for more than 30 minutes.

    Right, maybe we can avoid all those injuries using less Yao.

    I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but there is a reason guys take the shots they do. Its just as hard to take 20 shots as it is to make 10. If scola was capable or had the mentality to take 15 shots he would. Taking shots, take mental and physicaly capabilities. Scola is a guy that should take 8-10 shots per game Anything more, and ur asking for trouble. Scola is 12pts 8 rebs type of player. That's his game. If teams were to focus on him. it would crash. I think he's a good player, but to give a guy extra shots when landry is can do what he do and then some, is a little off.

    If we can get Diop, we can let Yao play only 25 min/game during regular season.
