Shaq for Yao

[Lager]

Would you make this trade if you were the GM for the Houston Rockets? Seems like a good deal.

 

[hdeck]

no.

 

[z0mb13]

shaq is close to a has been, yao is getting better and better

tough call

also yao has a lot of asian followers

 

[Shlong]

Yao's 9-10 years younger then Shaq, heck no.

 

[BCYL]

no, I would keep Yao... Shaq is always out of shape or getting injured, Yao still has a long way to go in developing his game...

 

[Lager]

Shaq might bring in the championship in his first year. :Q

 

[GhettoFob]

I would keep Yao.

That's what they said about Kwame Brown!

 

[fs5]

no, Yao is too young, too much potential to trade for an old shaq

 

[jagec]

trade a young, good player for an old man who can't even shoot free throws? No thanks. Yao > Shaq.

 

[cronos]

no way. yao is only going to get better, while shaq's prime might already be over.

 

[Corporate Thug]

no, yao is 24

 

[miri]

Shaq salary for next year, $29,464,288. Ming salary for next year, $4,436,880. Ming is 23.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Hell yes! Trade him to Los Angeles. We need some young blood here!

Can you carry that out to 6 decimal places for me?

 

[DPG0wnz]

Yao>Shaq

T-Mac>Mobley+Francis

Yao+T-Mac=Playoffs

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Not a chance in hell. A fat center who's best years are behind him for a rising star? No way.

 

[Jgtdragon]

Yao > Shaq

i agree. shaq may be a better player right now, but yao has tons more potential. shaq's left potential=nil. i dont think him being a better player is enough to justify that difference.

 

[Imdmn04]

Yao's value is more than anybody in the league in a businesss sense.
First of all he is dirt cheap compared to other superstars, and most importantly, there is a 1.3 billion chinese market to tap. TV broadcasting rights in China, offical merchandises, etc. Also for any U.S. city with a significant population of asians, there is a huge benefit financially in acquiring Yao for obvious reasons.

 

[wkabel23]

No.

 

[PlatinumGold]

Ya, if i were LA.

 

[MournSanity]

Stupidest.Trade.Evar. *CONFIRMED* *OFFICIAL*

 

[RagingBITCH]

Shaq's nearing the end of his time. Yao hasn't even scratched the surface.

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

.....(nodding head)..........No
