    There are thousands advantages if Ming and the Chinese National Team join our summer league with Rocket coaching:

    - Ming can be trained with our top-notch Rocket and NBA coaching;

    - Ming can adjust to Rocket plays earlier;

    - Chinese National Team players can learn from NBA coaching;

    - Chinese coaches can learn NBA coaching styles;

    - Wang can continue playing the summer league under the Chinese national flag;

    - More young Chinese players can expose to NBA scouts;

    - It paves the road for their future 2008 Olympic;

    - It attracts a high-profile attention in the world for the
    Chinese basketball;

    - It will improve the relationship between China and US; and

    - That will create a model for other teams to sign Chinese national players with a win-win solution.

    :p

    Rudy was the head coach for USA basketball in 2000...

    I bet his buddies would love him helping out the entire CHINA national team!

    Really a good idea, especially for those Ming fans. Yet maybe it's a little bit late to think about this:(, 'cause the CNT has already announced their summer schedule. They'll go and play several games at Turkey at the end of July and leave for Canada (warm-up game between the two national teams there) in early August.
