It's looking more and more likely that Yao has less than five serviceable years left in his NBA careerOriginally Posted by Mo Matik

not even 5 years. remember, this is his 13th season playing pro basketball.. IMO he only has 2-3 decent years left.Originally Posted by renkxedik

it's no surprise why he has had constant lower-body injuries.. dude is just too tall for his own good.
That's only a better deal if Deng is worth $10M and/or they're able to get rid of Richardson for a deal that expires after next season.Originally Posted by holdenmichael
Well, it looks like they're trying to blow up the team so that they can be players in the summer of 2010. Maybe they'll land Bosh and Joe Johnson/Wade.Originally Posted by mjd77
So...I wonder what "direction" the Suns are going in this offseason. Their plan seems to change every summer. Please get rid of Kerr...NOW!
But I think if the Suns are serious about shipping off Amare, they could go to the Bulls and get Deng + Tyrus + filler which is a better deal than the Rockets deal
Sources: Nets, Magic in serious talks

The New Jersey Nets are in serious talks with the Magic about a deal that will send Vince Carter to Orlando for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee, two league sources told ESPN.com.
NBA Rumor Central
ESPN Insider has the updated buzz from the National Basketball Association rumor mill.
Story Insider
The talks have reached a point that a deal could be done by the end of the day Thursday, according to sources.
The trade would give the Magic even more star power on their quest to win an NBA championship. The addition of Carter to a lineup that already consists of All-Star players Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson would make them the favorites to win the Eastern Conference title next year.
As for the Nets, the move is a cost-cutting measure. Both Alston and Battie are in the last year of their contracts, and trading for them would shave $16.5 million off New Jersey's roster in the summer of 2010 and put the Nets well below the salary cap.
The deal, if completed, would also give the Nets a young, promising shooting guard in Lee.
Chad Ford covers the NBA and NBA draft for ESPN Insider.
If this happens... no way should they give up Lee. %+$% I dont even want Vince. Dudes days are over.
because he doesn't equate to wins. he's all about stuffing the stat-sheetOriginally Posted by FoShizzle
^why not? He doesn't play D, perfect for Nelson's system.

its pointless to trade for him cause the chances he resigns would be slim

We'll miss u Sasha and Big Ben.....Sasha alittle more. Shoulda traded Z's oofey a**. Cant wait to cop that Diesel jersey in white
I doubt they resign Hedo if VC comes to townOriginally Posted by OneTrust
Vince to Orlando!!!!If that goes down, man i might have to change my pick of Cleveland taking it all. Vince and Hedo, two VERY clutch players. Pick ya poison.
As for Amare to my Warriors for Biedrins and 7th pick, i dont know. I REALLY REALLY like Amare but i dont think it'll make our team THAT much better.
There's enough rock to go around by having VC, Hedo, Shard and DHoward?
I think so. Both Shard and Hedo can go through some horrible dry spells. They usually have one quarter's worth of a scoring spurt thenthey're done. Plus it never hurts to add another clutch player to the lineup.
