Thanks for the advice. Here is some for you: DON'T RE-SIGN T-MAC! unless it's for like 5 cents (and even then don't)

Actually TMAC did pretty well with us, stayed healthy and ran the point pretty well. for 1.5 mil, it wasn't a bad deal, however we were expecting the orlando mcgrady when he got healthy. unfortunetly not.

at least he played! i don't think yao's body is meant for basketball. maybe every other game

If you don't think that Yao was built to play basketball then you never really got to see him play. He is/was an incredibly talented player with high basketball IQ and tremendous skill and strength. The problem was that a guy his size (most don't realize how freaking big Yao is) needed much more rest than he ever got. It is a testament to his dedication to the game that he held up as long as he did, playing year-round basketball due to the NBA schedule and his commitments to the development of basketball in China.

Hardly anyone could have lasted as long as Yao did. When you consider his size it is that much more impressive.

fyi, Jordan Hill and the 14th pick for the 7th pick is still a deal any Rox fan should be happy with.

(Then maybe they could package the 7th pick and some other "assett" to move into the top 3 picks of the draft....since there may be only 3 guys from this draft who earn a 2nd NBA contract.)

you are correct i never got to see him play, and he was beast as a basketball player, i feel bad, cuz he probably be one of the greatest centers of all time, but i really don't think his size and the nba schedule will allow him to last that long. if you resign him, hopefully the Rockets just play him the playoffs.

p.s. WHY THE HELL DID YOU GUYS FIRE ADELMAN?
