    Just a hypothetical situation...

    What if we still had Yao to pair up with Lin & Harden?

    We would have absolute domination in the Asian market and be an instant title contender

    Yao would be on a 24 minute limit and at some point would get hurt. :(

    They would have to dramatically change their style of play. Yao couldn't handle this team's pace.

    this. assuming a healthy yao, the team wouldn't be able to play at the pace they play at right now.

    D-Mo would have someone to talk to on the bench.

    If we still had Yao, he'd probably be sitting out the season with an injury to his foot.

    Clutchfans probably is 90% asian. At least Yao was a legit superstar.

    It isn't like yao was a prime shaq.

    When Tmac was out literally we spend like 15 seconds of the shot clock trying to get him the ball.

    I remember the 2nd Portland game they literally could not get him the ball. Once he had the ball he was pretty much going to score. Too big, strong, and skilled.
