MIN/HOU 

Post#1 » by Klomp » Fri Dec 4, 2009 6:03 pm

Jefferson, Gomes, Cardinal for Yao, Ariza

Thoughts? If healthy, Yao would be a good complement to Love down low. Ariza would be a major wing upgrade, and is the type of player I think we need...

Flynn / Sessions
Brewer / Ellington
Ariza / Wilkins / Pavlovic
Love / Jawai / Pecherov
Yao / Hollins

If Yao were healthy, and we added a legit scorer at SG, that would be a very strong team. However, Yao is never healthy for long.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Not a fan for either side. I think Yao is on borrowed time. Despite that, Houston fans won't want to give him up.

Also it would make this season that much more unbearable.

Financially, Houston couldn't afford to trade Yao for our entire team.

I don't see Houston wanting Al Jefferson. He doesn't fit with what they do -- ball movement, defense, team oriented play. I'm sure Morey has some sort of metric he uses that would discourage him from making a play for Jefferson. Scola and Landry are very productive for them.

If you want Ariza so bad (I don't) try making a trade cetnered around Rubio for Ariza. If you remember, Morey offered any 2 of his players outside of Yao for Rubio after the draft.

Right. As I understand it, the Rockets have worked for several years with different stations all over China to get their games broadcast throughout the country.
