Here is the problem: everyone here thinks TMac is garbage,

but most of them want him to get back players like Kobe. Why would Lakers do it, why would any other team do that? A player with that caliber will never get equal value back, you will get a decent guy with huge contract, a scrub to fill the salary gap, and maybe a pick or 2 to sweeten the deal. That's about it. With that in mind, Rockets will be mediocre at best for the next 2 or 3 years, because there is no way and no how that Yao alone can lead the team to elite status, not saying they are at that level now.

When Yao reaches 30, I don't know what is going to happen.
