Perfect thread for the YOFs to hang out in LOL...I hope this thread becomes a sticky so all the YOF's can just chill in here all the time instead of flood all the other threads with their Yao love.
Right on, we can't build around Yao but we can build around TMac if only he is dedicated. In Yao's case, even if he is fully involved and as dedicated as he already is, we just can't win without TMac.
My point is that your logic is flawed. Your essentially saying you can't build around Tmac because he takes too many jumpers, even though Kobe, considered the best in the game, takes almost the same amount. Out of those 4 who do you want on our team? Please say anyone other then Tmac, Please. I'd love to see Yao and Mike Miller try to take us to the finals, thats even if we make the playoffs. Hell are we even building around Tmac? It seems like this team is being built around Yao, not Tmac. Tmac is a wing player, like any other great wing players all you need is good coaching and talent around them. How so many of you have forgotten who kept us much more then afloat, last year when Yao was out for two months. I know a lot of people here would have been happy if we were anywhere near .500 when Yao came back last year, yet we were in position to take the 4th seed at the end of the season. So who are we talking about here? For those pimping that ridiculous Chicago trade, where we get Hinrich and Nocioni for Tmac, please put down the crack pipe. Don't get me wrong, being tough as nails, playing with heart and being able to move the ball are great qualities ...... for ROLE PLAYERS. Weren't all the Francis supporters pimping those as his best qualities? Those qualities are doing him a lot of good now, aren't they? I can imagine it now; 4th quarter, close game, the rockets spending 3/4 of the shotclock trying to get Yao the ball, but the other team is playing their "don't let Yao touch the ball at all cost" defense. What time is it going to be? KIRK HINRICH TIME. This ain't the 90's no more, you need talent with good defense to win these days.
Your hate of YOFs is quite bliding, theres probably a lot more people here that are b****ing about tmac then the total # of YOF that actually post.
