Could we get Yao Ming?

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

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

Godwin's law.

As to the trade, Houston's GM laughs at you and hangs the phone as soon as you mention Yao. He's a cash cow and the best player on their team. If you want a player like Yao you have to be sending a superstar Houston's way. And even then, they probably would not trade for non-basketball reasons.

a lot of guys can come up with trade ideas that are bad for one team, or the other, but cfan is the only guy i know who's usually are horrible for both teams. It used to be 2-3 of those a day, might as well make a "cfan's daily horrible trade idea" sticky and be done with it to clean up the forum a bit.

It can be right next to the Darth doesn't know anything thread.

A day after Rockets center Yao Ming sidestepped questions about the idea of joining the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 to play for the Cavs’ Chinese minority owners, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was far more direct about his plans. “Yao,” Morey said via email, “is the cornerstone of our franchise now and in the future.” Amid speculation in China that Yao would consider leaving the Rockets for Cleveland after next season, Yao dismissed such an option as “unknown.” Houston Chronicle

Add this to cfan's greatest hits.

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...

Damn. You got a deal that the Rockets can't say no to. Congrats.
