The only place Yao is going if he ever gets traded is to an LA team, NY, or whatever team Yi is on at the time Yao enters the trade market.

Stupid, they're not gonna trade Yao and even if they were, they could get better value than that.

Doesn't Toronto have the largest Chinese population in North America?

Isn't Bosh from Texas?

I hope you all realize that this "rumor" was an April Fools joke in Sporting News.

Houston would need to add more salary to this deal to make it work.

This trade would never go through, the Rockets would want a lot more, at least someone like Kwame Brown

Even if the T-Mac/Yao combo doesn't work, and I don't think it does, the Rockets wouldn't trade Yao Ming simply because of business reasons. The guy draws so many fans and revenue. I would believe that if anyone is going, it would be McGrady.

Anyways, that Celtics trade is terrible for Houston. I would trade any package not involving Bosh from the Raptors. I don't know what Houston would want, but Colangelo should be doing everything he can to pair Bosh and Ming up. Here's to day dreaming...... :pray:
