Nah, a more reasonable trade Cleveland would do would be Yao for Ilgauskas. I'm sure the Rockets wouldn't miss a beat defensively or offensively. Yao is after all a Rick Smiths type of player so neither the Cavs or Rockets will get an upper hand ... a straight talent for talent.
Trade yao for al jefferson. I think yao commands more double teams so that should make min better. Al jefferson is younger and more athletic and fits RA offense better. Plus he has great contract.
Basically I don't think this is going to happen because: 1, the owner love money. Yes, some may think championship is more important. Even so, no one can guarantee championship-->we only has little chance to get championship. So, is that worth? Remember, most likely we wont have chance to get another top level Chinese player any more (it says we won't get another chance to earn this "easy" money). But we still have the equal chance to get championship in the future. 2, Yao is not that bad like you guys think. D Howard is hot. Even so, without him, Magic can still beat 76er and with him, Magic can lose. I think most of NBA player is not big difference, really depends how we use them. Also, we need look long run
CAN'T you get it through your thick scull that the Rockets are not, I repeat Not going to trade Yao Ming. Please stop waisting space and time.
how bout this trade Yao+lowry+Landry for B.Davis+Marcus Camby+Thornton that would be a beast team B.Davis/Brooks Tmac/Thornton/Wafer Artest/Battier/White Scola/Hayes Camby/Dorsey/ young athletic and big
