Houston officials are hopeful All-Star center Yao Ming will bephysically sound for the regular-season opener. But I'm hearing theRockets aren't about to rush their star back too soon and he couldmiss up to the first two months of the season. ...

If true, this could make all that talk a few pages back pointless.

Then, there was this glowing assessment of Wall from Mavs coach Rick Carlisle: "He's a cross between Derrick Rose and Vince Carter."

i may be just looking at this different, but its not like he couldnt play, Houston would rather make sure hes a strong as possible for a playoff push, than rather push him up just so be makes opening night but risk the foot down the line

Naw, I don't hate him, I was just confused by that last thing he said.  I thought he was hired by the Blazers........

 

[franchise3]

First off, that dude who wrote the story is the Bucks beat writer. So I dunno how credible his sources are when it comes to something Rockets related.

Everything out of Houston is Yao is ahead of schedule. Even in his article he says Rockets official are optimistic Yao will be ready for the opener.

We'll just have to see.

I read about Cho, and people like him because he's so well versed everything basketball related. To the actual game, and the stuff surrounding it like the business aspect of it all, with all his degrees. Plus dude was under Presti's wing, so I think he'll pan out.

[h2]Bucks Acquire Jon Brockman In S&T[/h2]
Jul 19, 2010 5:35 PM EST

The Kings and Bucks have completed a sign-and-trade for Jon Brockman, sources have confirmed.

Brockman was drafted by the Kings out of the University of Washington.

Brockman being shipped out of Sacramento was no surprise. He would have been their 6th big behind Cousins, Whiteside, Dalembert, Thompson, and Landry.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

^thanks bro. I dont understand how to cut+paste apparently

Edit: The trade was for Darnell Jackson and future 2nd round pick considerations.

 

[kiddin like jason]

For Darnell Jackson and a future second.

I like Brockman a lot. I was hoping the Hornets might do something like that to get him, or Joey Dorsey. I'm a big fan of brutish, undersized post players that rebound the !+%* out of the ball.

Matt Barnes will "likely" sign with the Raptors, according to Associated Press reporter Tom Withers.

Talks between Barnes and the Cavs appear to have stalled and he mightbe drawn to Toronto, which has minutes available at SF and plays anup-tempo style.

@Bucks BREAKING: The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Keyon Dooling (6-3, 195) to a contract, General Manager John Hammond announced today.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Brockman is a nice pick-up for Milwaukee.

 

[japanair21]

Jesus, how many players are the Bucks getting this off-season?
