Is it the time to remove Yao and get a real center for this team?

If you can get Dampier, Dunleavy, Richarson and a first rounder for Yao, you get a solid rebounding center, a combo forward with equal potential to Yao, an athletic swing man on the rise to stardom and a lottery pick. And more importantly, you send away your risk to the Warriors. Let the Warriors bear with the pain of watching a great "potential" eventually become just that: "potential".

In case the Rox have not tried yet, the Magic could be interested in Yao and agreed a trade of Yao for McGrady. Would not you go for it if it was offered?

Kobe will opt out of his contract this summer. If he was surely to leave and the Lakers offered a sign and trade of Kobe for Yao, would you not consider it?

All these trade talkes do not sound like too crazzy right now because Yao is still considered a great potential. Imagine in a couple of years Yao remains the same as now: a great potential, any of these trade talk would be considered crazy ...

You make sense. Anyone and everyone is up for trade if the price is right. If the Toyota Center was sold out every night, I think it would present a different scenario. It would mean the fans like what they see. The 9k at the Toyota Center gives a stark picture of fan sentiment towards the team. However, I think no big moves take place until you see something around 5k at the arena for a game.

For you Yao-haters, what do you say Rox propose a trade to Kings: Yao+trade money for B. Miller+two 1st round picks + cash? I think Kings will jump on it for long-term interest.
