I agree with the boozer-amare trade. Amare does all the good things that boozer does except he doesn’t suck at d like boozer + he finishes strong around the rim. I’m so sick of boozer. He’s missed about 1/3 of the games that he’s been in utah. The jazz also need to trade ak-47. He’s making $16M(more than lebron, melo). His salary is in the top 20 and there are at least 4 players on the jazz now who are better than him(d-will, boozer, memo, millsap). The jazz really need to trade him and boozer, they are getting screwed.

“And finally, one of our favorite NBA tweeters, Marcus Williams: “I think the dopest thing about nba2K9 is they really got my tattoos.” It’ll be even doper if NBA 2K10 has Marcus on it, period. His name hasn’t popped up at all when you hear about available free agent point guards … We’re out like the Ming Dynasty …”

OWNED!!!

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

If his career is truly over, I think that it’s a wee bit short of HoF status, though he was a dominant player while he was active. Just wish that he could play for another 5 years or so. Big fan still!

You’ve got to be joking, totally high, or cognitively impaired to think that Yao is hall of fame material. Seriously, are you high? I like Yao just fine,so I’m not hating, but I think a player should average at least 50 games a season and win a playoff series once in while before you start talking H.O.F. You need something more than just being freakishly tall and popular in China to get those creds. Just my opinion.

hate it or love it Yao is auto hall of fame. Guaranteed LOCK insta hall.

Disproved the myth that giant bigs cant hit a free throw, 20 and 10 and truly the first asian sensation.

He’s in no doubt about it.

Gotta go with the doc on this. GOD bless Yao but dude ain’t H.O.F.

Oh well Houston made their bed by not trading Yao a long time ago. All the signs were there of him being fragile. I been saying I wish they would have gotten Howard instead somehow.

I hate this for Tracy because he will likely be traded so they can get an o.k. center while trying to bring Ron back and hope the new drafts and Von can create on the scoring end.

Tracy is going to come back better and really be decent I feel, but I already know the people that hope in Tracy are of a dying breed but I still got hope for ya boy.

I don’t think Sheed and Ron would be a good combo. Ron needs to be the only Alpha on the squad. Perhaps out of the names thrown around okur looks like the best bet…which is sad.

If Tracy goes to NY I will still be a Rockets fan always but I will have to get my cheer on for NY too.

Wow you can be so high one minute (Rockets advancing and taking LA to 7) and then be so low (injury ish).

What a kick in the nuts!

Yao is a HOF lock right now, if they let Bill Walton in they should let Yao in. Yao has more All-Star selections, career points and rebounds than Big Bill. Throw it down big man, throw it down one time!

Some o y’all are just dense. Got a Laker fan defendin the Rockets center. That stings a lil.
I’ll admit that Yao’s first couple seasons weren’t all-star worthy but look at his last 4 seasons:

05-06 – 22pts, 10 rbs
06-07 – 25pts, 9 rbs
07-08 – 22pts, 11 rbs
08-09 – 19.7ppg, 9.9 rbs
over 50% fg and +85% ft

Those are all star numbers. Dude got votes cuz he Chinese, but he earned his spot. I’m tired of the haters sayin stupid shit and never backin it up. Fans may mess up on votin for the starters, but Yao’s been one of the top two centers in the West for the last few years so if he didn’t get voted in, he woulda got put on by the coaches anyways.

Get outta your bubble. The world’s bigger than your neighborhood.

p.s. Carlos Boozer ain’t optin out. Dude looked around and realized the economy’s in the toilet and he might not get more than he’s gettin now so it would be smarter to play out this contract, pray he don’t get hurt, and try again next year when more teams than Detroit and Memphis got money to spend…
