    Has anyone heard anything? Seems like we haven't had much news on this front in some time now. Most of the other teams' draft picks appear to be signed already. It's not surprising that this one would take longer, but I hope there are no significant issues that haven't been worked out yet...

    An interview of the GM of Shanghai Sharks (Li Yaomin) a few days ago:
    he said, "if Yao Ming can go to NBA, that's the best; if he cannot go, we have no loss, and we will try to keep the championship of CBA this year."

    A little strange, right?

    I think I remember reading that they were going to try and make it official when he is in the US. I believe the deal is pretty much done. I could be wrong though. Besides, it is pretty hard to negotiate with a guy across the world, playing with his national team.
