how about the entire Rockets team for the entire lakers team? in fact why don't all Lakers fan come live in Houston and all Houston fans move to LA? save the trouble of printing new shirts and all?
TheHangover atually made a good point, if we can trade yao to make rox better, why not? if dallas could not pass the first round, we can trade yao for the MVP; i think miami is going to rebuild we can trade yao for MDE or trade yao to orlando for howard or trade yao to mephis for oden(if they got him) + fillers
its just a matchup problem, JVG doesn't want Yao out on the perimeter and guarding a top level 4 is tough for Yao.
i was just joking, you could see clearly in all thosescases yao would make those teams better. that's why we should keep yao.
Actually 1st. As a Rockets fan, I feel that I should hate on our most underachieving player. That's kind of the point of being a fan, you know, expecting effort and championships. Yao is Ralph Sampson part II. If you're Daryl Morey, sell high.
Centers with 25/15 ability that stand 7-6 are harder to find than short, bald creativity-challenged coaches who can't even compliment a non-superstar who takes a comeback-stopping, game-winning charge.
fine, and I just hope our Yao can work in another better condition,any eastern conference team will be fine with me.
lol... are you serious?? yao is not the same level as dirk, and howard and oden have too bright a future for yao to match. actually rox is the only team in the league now which is stuck with slow old-fashioned center.
Easy. Amare Stoudemire, Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, Emeka Okafor. All 4, unlike Yao, play defense and rebound. A center is only as valuable as his defense. Otherwise they might as well be a power forward. Or I guess you could just call Yao a soft center.
Hahahaha. This is hilarious. That basically sums up the feelings of 90% of the site. That would be Yao fans not from Houston. It's okay, Chinese fans. You can cheer for that Jianlian kid now, until he inevitably busts too.
This thread is ridiculous! Please lock it somebody! Name another center out there you would like to have.
