Oooh yeah. Lets couple Yao Ming with LeBron James. Then you can stop posting on the Rockets board and go bug the Cav fans. I've stayed out of the Yao-only talk until now. Come on. This is just plain rediculous.
I guess it's fair that Yao has a few bad games and people want to trade him, given my propensity to dump Steve. But Yao is getting it. He has backslid these past few, but he has looked tired. And he depends on others to get him the ball. If the others also play like young knuckleheads, then we have a recipe for disaster. Thing is, just be pragmatic about this. Yao Ming = 1.3 billion potential jerseys sold (well, you get the idea). China TV rights. A player that every other team (including the Lakers) would give its left nut to obtain. Yao ain't going nowheres. I could see Cato going to the Cavs along with Cat, then Ilgauskas and his half-court game to Indy, and players from Indy to us. But not Yao Ming.
That is the worst thread idea i have heard since i started posting on this site, just horrible. That like saying lets trade Yao for Cherokee Parks, no more post from you.
thats terrible...wow...trading Yao??? for ILGAUSKAS, who has a career of nagging foot injuries and probably wont last another 3 years??? Please tell me you're kidding
glad to hear that so many love my trade idea on a serious note, i believe that this trade can help both teams in the long and short term. 1. Yao does not fit into our guard oriented offense. It will always be Francis team whether we like it or not. Can't beat em, then join em. Small ball it is. 2. Rox are going to have salary cap issues moving foward given Steves max contract. This trade will help get rid of Cato's huge contract and in return, gain Big Z's soon expiring contract. The Rox can then go and get a iso oriented foward to compliment Steve and Cat. Possibly a player like Antoine Walker or the like and can always get a active big body to grab rebounds, play D, and set screens for the guards (Gadzuric). Gadzurich- C Walker- PF Miles- SF Cat- SG Steve- G 3. Cavs will benefit by getting one of the best centers in the league. 4. Together with Lebron, it has the potential to develop into the Kareem/Magic type chemistry. Trade accepted

Let's trade Yao to LA for Derek Fisher. Or trade him to Dallas for Shawn Bradley. Or trade him to Indiana for Jamaal Tinsley. Or we can trade him to San Antonio for Malik Rose. Whatever we do, let's trade him to a contender where he can win a championship, and let's see if we can get nothing in return, okay?
