    Just saw this news from chinese website SINA:

    It says a chinese billionaire Mr. Huang was very interested to buy Cavaliers, bcause he even showed his face in Cavaliers' last game.
    Once he bought this team, it's realy feasible that he gets Yao in, which compsoses the title.
    BTW, he mentioned BIG Z is too soft.

    If you can see the future, tell me the truth...

    Man, with all due respect, if you're going to post this goofy conspiracy theory stuff, at least post the link. Plenty of people here can read Chinese.

    If I had to see Yao somewhere it would be next to Lebron. Can anyone imagine Yao in a Jazz jersey? Mwuahahahhaha.

    Isn't the LeBron jersey like the number one or two jersey in China, in terms of sales?

    Some people on this board are crazy if they say Yao wouldn't do well in Cleveland because of no chinese market.

    LeBron + Yao + Cavs support WILL indeed make it to the Finals. Not 100% sure on a guaranteed championship though.

    If they bring in a legit third option, The Yao Lebroniers WILL win the championship.

    If Yao doesn't sign here, and the roster stays the same after 2010, I want Yao to sign with either Cleveland or Miami.

    So a Chinese billionaire...what's that like a 100 millionaire in American dollars? How much money is the Cavaliers franchise valued at?

    I remember the last really credible, important SINA article that was posted on here.....

    ... the one that got misled by internet IQ ads.

    Good one, SINA.

    There's indeed an article about this news at Sina. For people knowing Chinese, here's the link where the OP got the picture

    http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2009-05-22/04594392369.shtml

    The guy's name is Jianhua Huang. In the article, it says that he's a business partner of the Rockets (any one knows if this is true?) and the Yankees. It also says that he's well-known in the US sport world.

    I don't think this news has anything to do with the Rockets.

    i found this funny because I thought it was a meant as a joke because of how absurd the logic behind the claim is.

    I now found the OP to be r****ded.

    Les is a money man. He won't let Yao go and lose all that $$$$. But if the price is right, money talks, anything could happen.
