Answer 1

What? I wanted him in the lakers

Answer 2

Yea, with him it means no double team since they all attract so much attention, so its like pick your poison you want to get beaten by inside outside or both. A VERY GOOD TEAM

Answer 3

Yes. We should trade Rafer, Battier, and Head to upgrade the PG spot. We could do that because we are so deep. We have like 22 players on our roster

Answer 4

yes

especially since rick adelman is the coach

Answer 5

yeah he would play good with tracy mcgrady i think they should get ridd of yao they prooved they could win alot of games without him!! give him to a team that really needs him!!

Answer 6

yah.. i think he will fit in

Answer 7

If he changes his attitude then yes. I just hope that he has brought all that hes got and will not jump in the stands like he did in Detriot.

Answer 8

They won games without Yao, but they beat Spurs and come close to Celtics in the Garden when Yao was on the court. Yao also man handled Bynum in Lakers/Houston's first match up last season. To say Houston doesn't need Yao's ridiculous.

Adelman will make it work though. He is the first ever coach to carry Rockets to have winning record without Tao or McGrady. He also went far when the team had three injured starters. He will make it work. Both Artest and Battier can D up 1~4. Artest has better offense and can create his own shots. Adelman loves running high pick and roll, and Artest could be involved with that as well. But he could also be a slasher or spot up shooter when high pick is done on the other side.
