    Do you think that he will be happy and stay put, or do you think he will do a draft day trade demand?

    i think he'll be happy with just being in the US... perhaps he'd be happier if he was on the Mavs or Nuggets but still i think he'd rather play US ball than Chinese ball...... personally though i hope we can draft him and trade him off for future picks or some proven talent because if he does wash up we could have the asian shawn bradley on our team

    then again if he proves good we could go down as a dumb team for trading him such as the Bucks are now cause they traded dirk to the Mavs

    I'm tired of everyone comparing Ming to shawn bradley. Ming has skills which Bradley never had. You know how hard it is to make 21 out 21 baskets during a game even against high schoolers let alone professional athletes. Most NBA players can't even make 21 straight free throws during practice these days. The worst Ming will be is another Ralph Sampson which is not that bad as long as his knees hold up.

    Heck, all I want is that he blocks a few shots and lead the rockets in rebounds. Something our current 4 or 5 can not do.

    i did see the stats and 21-21 is amazing, but ive never seen him play so until the majority of the people compare him to someone other than shawn i will be forced to continue to use that analogy

    People only compare him to Shawn Bradley because they are roughly the same size. He plays more like bigger Ralph Sampson with 3pt range . According to clutch's stats, Ralph was 7'4" and 220 lbs. Ming is 7'6" and 280 lbs. In the very least, Ming is a Shawn Bradley with speed, coordination, and shooting touch.
