Although the Draft on June 26th is only left three days, Yao Ming's NBA trip is still unclear. "All the processes are being carried on." This is the explanation which the reporter obtains from CBA on 24th afternoon . On June 22nd, the Yao Ming's representatives once said at the Shanghai press conference:"After achieving the agreement with Shanghai Sharks, we hope the step of Yao Ming's joining NBA can speed up." They expressed that they needed CBA to write one certificate to the international basket association at June 24th and prove the Chinese basket association agrees Yao Ming to play NBA. On 24th afternoon, reporter called CBA and was informed:"This time (June 24th) only is the hypothesis time of Rockets club, not the international basket association's deadline." Many agreements about Yao Ming's joining NBA are still intentions. They are needed to be implemented step by step. " All the processes are being carried on." Therefore the CBA has not sent a letter to the international basket association. The staff cautiously expressed the CBA will cooperate with every effort to complete the correlation work brfore the draft. http://news.sportscn.com/c/183/183518.htm
Another simple move to show who is in power. The deal will get done, and on their terms or it won't. The Rockets will know before they draft him, and anyone that thinks they don't know the EXACT status of the negotiations is kidding themselves. Since we do not hear anything from the Rocks, let's all take a deep breath and realize that they know what they are doing, and that barring any MAJOR problem Ming WILL be a Rocket. DaDakota
