I guess Chase and Trevor are not experienced enough to take the spot of efficient volume shooters. They are inconsistent and haven't proven to be the main guys in the playoffs. Who is this mythical efficient volume shooters......and as an FYI...that makes no sense....volume shooters means you need volumes of shots to get...

Quote: Originally Posted by trugoy Coming back is one thing, but how about playing a full season of NBA ball. Imagine if Yao comes back exercises his Player option, and then breaks his foot again in 2011. Basically he will be forced to retire, this way he has a good insurance policy on his health. His foot/ankle joint area was realigned . I think many fans missed that part of his surgery. Is his size still going to make it more likely for him...

Quote: Originally Posted by Carl Herrera I am thinking one thing that might make sense for both sides is for Yao to (1) opt out, and (2) sign 2 year deal, with 2nd year being a player option, paying him, say, $12 million each year. I think he is scheduled to make $16 to $17 million next year. So, the new deal can increase the Rockets cap space by $4-5 million dollars. At the same time, Yao gets about $7-8 millon in total guaranteed money...

Quote: Originally Posted by saleem I don't mean to be personal,but you're completely delusional if you think replacing Tracy with Camby will make us a contender. The running won't be enough,playoffs will be half-court. Teams will devise strategies to slow us down. Chase cannot create eg Tracy,and neither is our passing good enough even with the improvements that Aaron and Lowry are showing. Once Brooks was trapped by the...

Anyway, Dwight is def. a better all around defender, but when it comes to domination on the offensive end? Are you kidding me? You must have missed all those games where Yao made Dwight his bitch. Can't believe I just replied to one of a million "Dwight is soooooooo much better than Yao " post started by...

However collectively what we say as people has an effect on one person that...
