    I apologize in advance if this topic has been beaten like a dead horse but I can't seem to find the answer in other threads. Under current arrangments do the Rockets need to send two "good" players to the Shanghai Sharks as part of the compensation for releasing Yao Ming? Or is this simply one of the current demands in the negotiations between the parties. Thanks in advance.

    OK smarty pants read this from this chinese guy posting on lakers ground.net He is posting a list of demands/requirements reportedly from CBA/Sharks Officials in both Chinese and the English translation he got from a Chinese newspaper.

    You could have easily used the search function but here is the low down. The sharks never wanted us to send players over since slavery is against US law. What they wanted is for us to refer second or third tier players (guys that would otherwise play in Europe or USBL) to the CBA.

    They can have Matt Maloney. We are still paying him. I know he isn't busy because I saw him at SEVEN on Saturday.

    Matt Maloney and Kyle Hill would do the trick, if these reports are even true.


    I doubt we send anyone though. If we send them someone, it takes away the whole meaning of "draft".

    You're right, that sounds more like a trade, not a draft.
