Could we get Yao Ming?

[cfan79]

Boston seems like one of the best places for Yao Ming. Do you think it is possible for us to get him and would you want to? We've got expiring contracts and young prospects.

For example

Perk, Ray, Rondo

for

Yao, Battier, B.Barry

(Sign AI and Mutumbo)

Possible New Roster

Yao/Mutumbo/Powe
KG/Baby/Scala
Battier/B.Walker
Pierce/Giddens/T.Allen
AI/House/B.Barry

Post this on the Houston board and see what kind of a response you get from them.

Your trades are so unbalanced.

Your trades are so unbalanced.

I've seen much worse trade ideas. Yao's agent knows he would make much more money in a bigger market. Rather then Houston being left with nothing they may have to accept a similar offer.

Id love it but again this isnt NBA live

Thank God, NBA live sucks my hairy sweaty abnormally large nutsack.

Your trade ideas are whack dude. I do not believe I have ever read a trade idea you have come up with that the other team even consider.

[RickyDizzle]

Its true, not to be a jerk, BUT you say you've seen worse trades, but you are still evaluating any trade fromy our warped perspective that views all this crap you post as fair.

Believe me a nuetral fan (which I do not claim to be) would laugh at this offer. Even being a celtic fan, its easy to see that like most of your proposals, this does everything for the celtics and nothing for the other team, which in this case is the rockets.

Guys, this is Cfan here. Uneven trade ideas are his MO. I for one, love them. If the RealGM Celtics board were Seinfeld, he'd be our Kramer.

[meatball sub]

Yao has Bill Walton feet. No thanks.

[Havlicek17]

Ray, Rondo, and Perk?

Anyone can get Yao Ming. Especially if you're in a drunken stupor, late at night, after the bars have closed in Shanghai.

It's not easy to get rid of however.

Didn't Rondo just come back from there? Maybe how the rumor started...

[BakersDozen]

has Yao ever had a season in the NBA where he wasnt injured?

[Tenbomber]

JMO here...

I'd be bored sick watching him....

I just have never been a fan of his....He has some skills... but not anything that would fit what they try to do in Boston....

I like egg rolls and a good chop suey!.... and hot and sour soup is my absolute favorite!.. (I'm not kidding!)

Does that count for anything?

Battier is a different story....if we could somehow get him here, that would be super!

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

This thread = waste of bandwidth.

[captain_cheapseats]

They'd never trade Yao even if he sucked....the guy brings in too much $$ to get 'rid of. Though I will say, from a purely basketball perspective I'd move Yao for that package if I were Houston. He's coming off a relatively healthy season, which might fool a couple teams into thinking those last 3 or 4 years of him missing 45 games or so a season were just flukes.

[Andrew McCeltic]

Yao is a rich man's Ilgauskas.

Still, if they wanted to trade Yao and S&T Artest for Perk/Ray..

[Darth Celtic]

this is why back long ago, in the before time..... i used to lock 95% of all cfans trade threads.

[threrf23]

Yao/Barry for Perk/Ray would be interesting, actually, IMO. If Yao were to stay healthy it would work out as a good deal IMO, not only would it potentially help us win more games (we could pick up an extra wing or two in FA) but would be great from a business standpoint to the point where our owners would be able to regularly add more to our payroll. But, "healthy" is the key word.

For discussion purposes, I actually see little wrong with Cfan's proposal before he adds Rondo/Battier to the mix...

Thank God you're not a Mod anymore. You used what little power you had like Hitler.

[Al-Haqq]

I doubt we'll ever see Ming in a Celtic's uniform.

We're not going to get him. Period.
