The latest trade rumor swirling around is that the Clippers are offering Lamar Odom to the Rockets in exchange for the #1 overall pick. This would give the Rockets a proven big man that they desperately need, but is the #1 pick too valuable to trade?

If history is any guide then the Clippers drafting Ming would almost guarantee his failure in the NBA.

Is there anyone on the Clippers the Chinese would want in return?

Personally i'm not sold on Ming until I see him play, but i know all the scouts are. Is it a good trade for the Clippers? Sure, losing Odom isn't that big of a deal to me. But if I was the Rockets I probably wouldn't do it. I think the thing to consider here is how they would fit in the team. The Rockets have been centered around Hakeem for years, and Ming could take his spot. While I don't know if he really fits into the Clippers type of game. Although Jason Williams added to that team would be nice.

So if i was the Clippers, like I said sure i'd do the trade, if it was just straight up #1 for Odom.

If i was the Rockets, then no I wouldn't do it.

Hey, if you liked Michael Olowokandi, you'll LOVE Yao Ming!!

Seriously tho, whether Ming is eventually good or not, he is sure to be a project for a couple of years. The Rockets are close enough to being good right now (I think they would have made the playoffs if Francis hadn't been hurt so much) that I don't think a project is what they need. If I were them, I would trade down in the draft. You could get a forward in the trade, and you could use the later draft pick to take a center who is closer to being ready (like Curtis Borchardt or Chris Marcus.)

Hawks get Antonie Walker and Tony Delk. Mavs get Jason Terry, Alan Henderson and a future first-round draft pick (which I'm sure they'll happily ship to Jersey for Jason Kidd come December.)
