So get the hell out of here , why do you want him even for Ford and Bargnani if he is so bad.

I didn't say he was bad. I'm just saying that i don't see longevity in the man. I would love to have Yao on the Raps as i'm sure any team would; however, given his stature i think that he is a very risky asset.

I think it's a fair trade offer. Yao is like Andre the Giant. How long before this dude has a heart attack? Bargs is easily a better post passer than Scola (whoever said otherwise).
Although I think this deal would be more fair if Jose were to replace TJ.

Oh god

Ironic that the best player in the OP proposal is Ford who is one bad fall away from ending his career.

Bosh is a young stud PF. Calderon is an up and coming top 10 PG.
What is Yao? Sure he is a dominant post presence but there is a price to pay when you're body is that big. I don't see his career lasting another 5 seasons. Typically the joints/respiratory system of people his size are not built to last. He probably suffers from some disease that got him to that size.
To get to my point, you would be foolish to think twice about BOSH/CALDERON for YAO

I would not suspect the talent level bosh/calderon could bring to the rockets. Nevertheless, on pure basketball standpoint, true center is rare. Yao probably one of the top 3 centers in the league. On market standpoint, Les won't trade Yao unless the same market value player like Kobe in return and LA won't do that.

In China, Bosh + Calderon popularity is not even close to an aging Iverson. Bosh always suspect he can play team basketball. Raptors' records are better when TJ starts though Calderon put up big numbers. Bosh and Calderon never good defenders. Those all are concerns. To trade a franchise player is never easy and you have to put every pros and cons on the table and decide which way is going to be better for the team. NBA is a business overall.

Unless you have evidence to support this then don't bother writing it. Bosh and Calderon are never good defenders? Calderon isn't a great defender, i won't deny that; but to say that neither of them are ever good defenders is a joke.
Although i agree that market value of Yao is higher because of the draw he has for the Chinese population.

Quit trolling. The bottom line is we are never going to trade Yao. The line slightly above it is you wouldn't keep Morey on the phone longer than a couple seconds without both Bosh and Calderon packaged with several picks coming the other way.

Yao is EASILY a top 2 center in this league, and the most marketable player in basketball history. He is arguably the best at the toughest position to fill in the NBA, is a true and solid post presence, and plays both ends well.

Nothing Toronto can offer can match what Yao brings the Rockets. Nothing.

LOL your offer sucks, You'd need to offer at least Bosh and TJ to be part of the deal for it to be even considered, and that's probably not enough

Hell, not even the Raps starting 5 would be enough.

Every raptors fan, gtfo.

Seriously right now. Yes I don't give a crap if the OP is a mod, gtfo. You should lose your mod powers for this.

We don't want your **** for our star. This is the worst offer ever, like bar none. Horrible. Pathetic. Bobby Jackson jumper bad. Steve Francis jumpshot pathetic. This is the worst deal I have ever seen?

I don't care that you get it that I think this is the worst offer, what you don't get is that you guys are still Raptors fans arguing this deal.

Can we have this stickied, and like a HOF type post. The RGM nation needs to know about this **** Raptors post. this is will be an example of all bad trades whenever suggested. i guess we've been SkinnyPeed.

Who would want to see Bosh's girlfriend at the games anyway?

Overreact much? Completely uncalled for.
