Rockets GM Daryl Morey implies Yao/Tmac era over

[djohn2oo8]

In an interview on 1560 the game:


H: Yao, you guys actually believe that Yao can come back and it is not as career threatening?

DM: I am not a doctor but based upon what the foot specialists are saying they all said with the advances in the genetic goop they put in the bone to help it grow, it gives you optimism, but no one knows how a 7'6" guy's foot will react...but if you look at the data of a normal man, we have optimism there. The bottom line is that with Mac out and Yao out, those are our all star players you need to win a title, whether that is Yao coming back or Tracy coming back or whether it is through a trade or young guys develop into that.....that is our focus right now.



Not a definite over, but read between the lines....He doesn't say that both are coming back

[dirk4mvp]

And the best they could do in that era is win 1 round against a team with a bunch of players who's never made the playoffs before?

[23LeBronJames23]

Yao is over

[djohn2oo8]

And the best they could do in that era is win 1 round against a team with a bunch of players who's never made the playoffs before?

Actually, before scola, brooks, landry, battier, and the other guys came along, they had nobody besides Yao and McGrady

2004-2005 team: Yao, Mcgrady, Mike James, Ryan Bowen, Juwan Howard, David Wesley, Bob Sura, Moochie Norris, Clarence Weatherspoon, Scott Padgett, Vin Baker, Torraye Braggs, Dikembe Mutombo, Jon Barry

2005-2006 team (worse than the 2004 team) : Alston, Derek Anderson, Lonny Baxter, Jon Barry, Keith Bogans, Rick Brunson, Josh Davis, Gerald Fitch, Richie Frahm, Dion Glover, Stromile Swift, Yao, McGrady (hurt most of season), Juwan Howard, Moochie Norris, Luther Head

2006-2007 Team: Lost b/c Yao did not help Mcgrady at all...mcgrady averaged about 30 ppg

2007-2008: No Yao for playoffs

[Double-Up]

And the best they could do in that era is win 1 round against a team with a bunch of players who's never made the playoffs before?

...and I give a fuck because? You won, we lost by 40 that's been the Yao and T-Mac era in a nutshell. I can accept it, apparently some Mavs fan can't accept ala wanna be 2006 champions, etc. Like I said the past 10 years the Mavs didn't do shit and neither have the Rockets. Are you guys proud of the division banner's you hang at the AAA every other year? :lmao

[djohn2oo8]

lol but Yao really should retire since its the same thing every year, and he can't be the foundation of the franchise anymore......If Yao somehow does retire, his 16 mill comes off the books, as Mcgrady's 23 mill comes off the books, and they can go after two superstars......I know they plan to go after Bosh, but if Yao retired they should also go after Wade.....But only if they sign Bosh, they can get Wade too

Yup, the Rockets have a glorious history with a championship gained by Dream, and a second one earned by Olajuwon and Drexler. However, you are an idiot. Your career of being a Rockets a fan may have started at any time after the 2002 NBA draft, but no way did it start at some time prior to that night where the Rockets made a terrible draft choice.

You have to give straight sights to the fact that most of the so-called "Rockets Fans" are actually foreign idiots, I'm not sick of foreigners and my humble self is also a foreigner. I mean sometimes you need to give respites to the foreigners when they talk dumb, you know.

[Rogue]

chill out fellow rox fans........when our time comes, is when its our time......until then, relax, since we have a smart GM, who will be prepared for 2010
:toast you are absolutely right, bro. If all the Rockets fans are as decent as you, brother, the Rockets fan base would have already regained the reputation they lost long time ago. Daryl Morey is a sexing genius and it's totally bullcrap to call the Rockets a hopeless team, a bright future shouldn't be too far from Rockets team as they have such a smart GM. Hopefully Morey will manage to amputate the 7'6 tumor as soon as possible.

[Double-Up]

You have to be a dumb motherfucker to call a team "chockers" after this same team shit on your team by 40 after your team had a 2-0 lead.

Then again, huston public education lol.

Coming from the guy who can't spell Houston...ignorant bastard. :rollin

Look at the playoff roster of the rockets, who was the third best player? Mike James or Bobby Sura? They started freaking Ryan Bowen on Dirk for Christ's sake.

Here is Mavs roster,

Rockets and Mavs fans hate each other. I didnt need a five page thread to know this.

This is sooooo unnecessary.

Time for Houston to tank this upcoming season.

Time for Houston to tank this upcoming season.

If they are serious about bringing in a Star player in 2010, then they cannot tank.....If they do tank, what star is gonna look at the team, and say "oh, I want to play there" ? They might not want to play in Houston anyway, but you have to remain competitive

Colonial Stern is right, tanking a season will give the Rockets much more than what they may probably get after a hard working season, and the star plays won't consider the Rockets crap even if Rockets struggles bad next season. Usually a No.1 draft pick is more than enough to infuse a lot of confidence into a scrub team, like the Clippers who suffered a terrible season and got the No.1 pick but is still expected to be a contender next season, not to say the draftees of this year have the lowest talent and potential in this decade. Morey just needs to convince his current players their team still is good and it won't be a bad decision to remain here, and extend their contracts into the post 10 era. When the 10 summer comes, the Rockets will have a nice squad filled with Scola, Brooks, Landry, Battier, Lowry and the lottery draftee.

sadly I must agree with this. Sure we made it to the 2nd round just this year, but they made it to the finals when we were anchored in the 1st round year after year.


Whats with the Rockets/ Mavs hate?

I never get it

[sook]

As of now they have the better team and we will probably tank. No point in talking shit.

[Kai]

There's no way a team full of gritty, tough workers like Scola, Battier, Brooks, Lowry, Hayes, Landry, and Ariza are going to "probably tank".

They should if they're smart.

I think you of all people should know that it is better to be horrid than mediocre in the NBA

[Kai]

Regardless of the fact that we would have a better draft pick, I just don't see those guys not giving it their all day in and day out. It's in their blood.

I think its good actually, I have a really good feeling that landry, brooks..etc

will have a breakout year. They will have a chance to develop really well

Number of Nationally Televised Rockets Games 2009-2010: 0

Thank you, that is all.

[sook]

Yea and why the fuck would they with no Tmac no Artest and No Yao?

No need to rub it in, you don't see us rubbing in beating you in the playoffs last season

Actually, they could use that as motivation in the sense that "We just took the Lakers to 7 games, but we don't get 1 nationally televised game?" Morey was pissed when he found that out

[Kai]

This is definitely the year Aaron Brooks blossoms into the player that he is capable of becoming. I'm not quite sure how good that really is, but I can't wait to find out. That's one of the only positives that I'm seeing for this upcoming season.

[djohn2oo8]

Yea and why the fuck would they with no Tmac no Artest and No Yao?



Because MINNESOTA gets at least one

[djohn2oo8]

Yeah, the positive is that Brooks, Landry, Scola, Budinger, Lowry, and Ariza can all develop, and be ready for 2010

Yes I do... every single time I come to SpursTalk that's what I see. Every single time I see a Houston fan post on here, RealGM, ISH, or SBN, that's what I see.

SpursTalk is like... concentrated shitty-ness. Pretending that the posters here are interested in anything but bravado and manly grunting is stupidity.

I tried to take SpursTalk seriously for months before I decided that this is like a grotesque zoo where you get to pester and interact with the most unique specimines for humanity, no matter what team they root for.

If you want serious discussion, I don't know why you post here...

Exactly, now Daryl Morey has got to set his focus on the post 2010 era instead of the upcoming season which is expected to be another dark span in the Rockets history.

[DenDen]

Time for Houston to tank this upcoming season.
Naw to much heart for that to happen.

Regarding ring smack, here are surprisingly some of the franchises that have a title in their past:

Sacramento Kings
Zombie Sonics
Golden State Warriors
Washington Wizards
Milwaukee Bucks
Atlanta Hawks

The Rockets are OK without anyone of them, or even any two of them. But it's still unproven if it works with none of them. Hopefully the Rockets will start to replicate the mode of 04 pistons, and Rick Adelman is also pretty professional at handling such a team.

[sook]

Minnesota was in the lottery with a top pick. Teams with top picks generally get 1 or 2 nationally televised games.
