I hadn't heard this before.
All I've heard is: $$$ (to the Chinese govt and his team), a deal to do camps or such in Shanghai and knowing that Ming will leave the team whenever China has to play int'l competitions, like the Worlds or Olympics.

There you go.
Given that, I wouldn't draft Yao Ming.

Reposted on: 31.5.09 1259.05 | | So if the Rockets feel that Yao Ming isn't worth the potential headaches, should they trade their pick for a proven big man? I don't think drafting somebody like Jay Williams would make any sense (unless they make him trade bait) since a guy by the name of Steve Francis has that position taken. | ekedolphin

Reposted on: 1.6.09 1621.32 | I wouldn't be overly surprised if the Rockets did, in fact, make that trade.
But you know someone is going to pick Yao, and then we'll have a major Player's Association problem on our hands. | evilwaldo

Philly is rumored to be offering Mutombo and the #16 for the #1, Rice, and Cato. The salaries do match up under the CBA so this trade is possible.
If anyone wants to check a possible trade here is the link I used:
