Its probably totally bogus, but I read in the new Sporting News that Boston and Houston might make the following trade in the summer. I don't know how its possible though since we owe the Wolves 2 firsts.
Ray, Perk and 2 first rounders
for
Yao
Boston/Houston trade rumor???

Houston does it because they have soured on the oft injured Yao.*
As for the pick they could do it during the draft. We pick for Houston, make the trade and include our 2011 pick. Minn. gets our 2009 pick, but the other pick is their own.
But I think this is just bull.
*wishful thinking

come on. ridiculous trade. yao is still a young guy while ray is at the end of his career.
Wouldn't want Yao anyways, he's always injured and overrated. If the season was 41 games long, then I'd take Yao.

It is bogus, but the fact that we owe the Wolves 1st rounders doesn't kill a deal including picks for us this off-season. It could happen on draft day after we have selected whoever the other team we are dealing with wants and they could get our 2010 1st rounder.
What kills the deal is that it makes no sense for Houston. Yao is a young, franchise center and a cash cow for their organization. They aren't dealing him for a 32 year old (albeit, a very good one) shooting guard, a role player and 2 late 1st rounders. They already have T-Mac at shooting guard, too.

Hey Houston, I know we currently have the best team in the league and I know we have a good chance to win a ring but I'm thinking in the offseason of trading two valuable pieces of this team. What do you think?
Ray and Perk for Yao. Let's get this started now so hopefully after we win a ring we can totally change things up and roll the dice next year!
This is just dumb.

Why, exactly, would Boston do this?
I wouldn't do this in a million years...Yao is always hurt and Perk is more of a banger down below than Yao is. No thanks.
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

The only logical Yao deal that can happen this summer is something like the following:
-Yao Ming for Emeka Okafor '08 first round pick, and future first round pick.
-the '08 pick could net Houston with a nice prospect going forward, and Okafor is also young himself.
Other than that, if Houston was ever going to deal Yao...they could get so much better than Walter Ray and Perk.
