    This might have already been discussed, but I'll bring it up again.
    Ming will be "property" of Republic Of China.
    Therefore the next time a US plane gets shot down over China or something, what stops China from not giving Ming his Visa to play the next season?
    China DOES NOT have to allow Ming to go to the US if they choose not to.
    I would hate to see Ming become some damn political pawn, not that the US government would give a crap because it is just basketballl, but it is a way for China to "stick it to us" if they so please to do so.
    Also if China doesn't allow Ming to participate in training camp, won't that be a problem? I know the Dallas player has yet to participate in training camp because of obligations in China.
    I don't know, I'm intrigued about Ming, but also cautious.
    Maybe Ming came come over here, love it and defect!!!!!
    Correct me if I'm way off on this subject!!!!!
