Nope. Bosh isn't the type of player we need on our team, especially when we're in the West.

there should be a sticky for trading yao fans

Yao will never be traded, never, its more of a business issue

get over it, he will retire as a rocket

Nope, there is no way I would do that. Unless of course if Calderon, and a future first was involved.

I don't know if I'd go so far as "retire", but +1 anyway.

Next year, year after? Sure does seem like his body is doing a Bill Walton imitation.

I fully understand not wanting to lose the Chinese support, but from a B-ball perspective I'd be looking to trade him for the right fit. You guys have done so much with an old center and the pieces you have, I'd have to think Yao could get something to become elite.

We're not going to trade Yao, period. We'll take the chance of him recovering and hoping he can play a full season. His on the court production is much greater than Bosh's considering he can anchor both your team's offense AND defense. Then considering the off the court revenue Yao brings, the only way I could see trading him currently were if he demanded a trade which seems unlikely considering his character.

Simple answer...NO!

Long answer...hell no to this deal, Yao isn't the problem & isn't the one moving.

The last franchise center we had we shockingly traded him to Toronto.

We're not doing it again.

Bosh brings less to the table than Yao does. Their offense is pretty on-par, but Bosh doesn't man up big men as well as Yao Can. The only logical reason the Rockets would have to even consider trading Yao for Bosh, is that Bosh is a little less injury prone and a little bit younger than Yao is.

Bosh is weak and definitely not worth yao. Only players worth Yao's value is no one, but bball wise I'd let him go for Kobe, Lebron or D.Howard. Period. Quite frankly I'm not impressed with Bosh, in fact, I think he sucks.

Our roster is good enough to make the final. If the injury didn't kick in we could have advanced. It's neither the right time nor the right move.
