Rockets now seems to be in a mess.
Players don't know what to do. There's something that's even worse.
The two leaders Yao and T-Mac have conflicts the latter critcized Yao on his complaints to the media.
How can a team go on with its two leaders can't along well with each other. It seems that the best solution is to trade one of them.
So if you were the manager, who will you trade, Yao or T-Mac?
For me, i'll trade T-Mac.

i think that whoever will be traded it is not wise.Yao and T-Mac are too important to Rockets.i don't mean that nobody can fill in them.Whoever will be traded means that several teams will be regrouped,because their prices are both very high,they will both change several the first sporters from the others. the result is that these teams won't have good scores this season.

you are also right .but the problems Rockets face are not only one.the tactics isn't clear:attack or defend.now we see that it is neither of them.this kind of team can't have good scores.the coach must build up his authority.i think that it is the source of the mess.

Two weeks before why i didn't respond you is that i hope there'll be a turning point for them or something like magic happens. But i was disappointed again. But the latest two games give me some confidence, Rockets are running well without T-Mac reason why i post this discussion is that i do not like T-Mac at all. He's a selfish player, when he's on the court, the offense of Rockets is simply his hammer shots.
But now the situation is better. A team without T-Mac is team we want to see.
Thanks so much for responding. Happy New Year!

I think the problem isn't T-mac or Yao. I am a Houston Rockets fan and if you'll ask me, they really need a deeper bench. They need a solid point guard to make Alston rest more minutes and a more agile power forward to speed up their game style. If they fill that, then I think they'll have better open court offense AND defense. But of course that's just my opinion.

I think that Yao should change himself.he lack of the leader spirite.as we know,he played basketball better and better every year.T-mac is also a super star.the problem in front of the team is that who is the real no 1 .that's the foremost.it's not yao's fault,T-mac too.I hope that Yao can lead the team to triumph.but he didn't.it is complicated to the boss of Rockets.so do we.

thx for your responding, you're right. But leadship is not something that one can gain when was born. So do Yao, when Yao went to Houston, the leader then was Steve, when Steve was traded, T-Mac came and he became the leader. Yao never have the chance to learn how to be a leader and he's learning now, look at his performence in the recent games, he's doing good!

Thanks for responding though i can't agree with you to some degree. Let's think about this, what's behind Yao? It's not only about billions of fans but a big market! Therefore, he won't be traded. You may dislike him but there're some facts you have to admit.
Thanks again enjoy yourself here!

I have studied Tracy Mcgrady for years and I can tell u this. He is not a winner.Yea he can score and he's atheletic, but he's not a winner.Think about it What exactly has he won. Trade him and surround Yao with average quality players. Detroit did not need a lone star to win a championship. O Yea; by the way send the coach with him. Hello Byron Scott

I can't agree more, T-Mac's popularity is partly due to Chinese fans. But now T-Mac just can't live up to fans' expectation and he is wasting Yao's time and our patience, i think Alexander is clever enough to find out this! Trade T-Mac for a promising young star!
