Lebron keeps on biting his nails.. it's so annoying! 6 TOs.. And NO, the Rockets aren't going ANYWHERE! Yao and JVG are going to stay and hopefully everything works out.
It should read Houston trades: ALL YOB (Yao only bashers) Houston receives: REAL ROCKET FANS Change in BBS outlook: Back to how it was a year ago, instead of looking like the ESPN boards, which are the worst possible boards around. If you notice, most YOFs don't start crazy threads. It's all the YOBs that start all the negative threads and such, which has cause this board's deterioration of quality.
Between Yao and JVG? Neither are going to leave, you'll have to trade Yao (ain't going to happen: see $$$$$$) or fire JVG. Although maybe he will quit on his team and owner again....
You never trade your talent, which in the NBA is the players. If we think we need to bring in players who can JVG style ball, we have more of a problem with the coach than the existing players. JVG needs to find a way to get the players that he has to play to their potential.
Suns look bad now, but they have a coach who knows how to coach the euro players. The Colangelos traded Stephon who is arguably the 2nd best point guard in the league for basically draft picks and a bunch of european players. Whether or not this experiment succeeds, management is giving the coach the players he is familiar with. Yao is not a Van Gundy guy. I think Van Gundy would rather have PJ Brown. Why not deal Yao in a multi-team transaction that gets Van Gundy the players he wants?
Yoa has way more upside than PJ Brown. Yoa is a special player in this league. He can do things that other players can't. When he becomes more experienced, the teams that don't match up well with him will consistently have a very hard time beating the Rocks. JVG needs to find a system that maximizes the star players he has. I am not against giving JVG the role players he wants. Adding role players does not change whether the Rockets best players need to have a system that exploits their strenghts, versus being made to adapt to the coach's set system (especially on offense).
