i'd add Lowry to that list too.

this could be one of his few mistakes. no one even knows if that deal was on the table though, and if it went through they would have to turn around and move prince or battier. Brooks was also on the rise. i would have rather done a Rip/filler for tmac. Rip is the perfect 2 guard for adelman.
if tmac comes back healthy and fits in the system well, all of this doesnt matter.

- being too cheap to pay for a quality backup center that would have allowed Yao to play Duncan style 30-34min each game and maybe sit out some b2b. Yes, even if such a center maybe cost 5mio a year

Dorsey didn't pan out, mutombo got hurt etc... not a whole lot Morey could have done if les doesnt allow him to. they did go after Gortat before dallas/orlando. really what decent centers are out there? you dallas boys should know that.
yao is just really injury prone... it is what it is.

- after McGradys in&out not to trade for a pure pg that can bring the ball to Yao any time. Alston, Brooks, thats a pure fail when it comes to playing with Yao. Yes Brooks is nice and young but hE and Lowry are not pgs for a game with Yao. They should sell Brooks next summer high and get a pg for Yao. But they wont and i will again laugh my ass off when Yao get fronted every game and Brooks and Lowry cant throw a damn pass to him.

i'd rather trade yao for an athletic big but Les won't do it because of the business connection to china.
i'd really like to see horford in a rox jersey.
les is a pretty good owner though he's bought plenty of draft picks, (3 last draft) they don't all turn out though. budinger looks like a steal so far.

spurs drafted Scola. rockets traded for his rights. v-span for scola/butler.
