That's a pretty redundant statement. Kidd with Kobe would be way better along with Kidd and LeBron or Kidd with Howard. And I can tell you right now, none of them would average 50PPG and all of them are better then Yao.

Yao is more skilled than Dwight.

I can tell you right now, almost 99.9999% of people would pick Dwight to build their team around then Yao. By next year Dwight is going to be the best Center in the game.
Actually, right now I'm pretty sure Howard is better then Yao. When Howard can learn to hit a FT, he will be almost unstoppable. He is way better down low, a way better defender and when he plays coaches build defensive game plans around him. When Yao plays, they build them around McGrady.

Yao is 10x more skilled than Dwight is on offense. Dwight is better on defense and that is because Dwight isn't limited by the pick n roll like Yao is.

While I will admit he has a lot to add to his game, he has a lot of offensive skills and do what if he dunks it? He has more dunks on his own then some teams have in total. He is a monster. Yao Ming, not a monster. He is easier to defend then Dwight and easier to box out. Yao again, is a better shooter and passer, but 10x more skilled...that's just stupid. Dwight isn't limited? How about getting boxed out by 2 guys and getting held on. Yao isn't a good enough shot blocker or post defender to go down low as often as Howard.

That's a good thing if you didn't realize that. and yes Dwight hardly has any post moves. Yao actually has an outside shot and can get to the basket with skill. Dwight just uses his strength and athleticism to get there. Most of his points are dunks and that's because that's all he can do, Greg Anthony even said he's a player you can't really run your offense through like a Yao Ming. He didn't say about Yao ming but he did say you can't really run your offense through dwight.

Is he wants out, it could turn into a big mess for Houston. What direction will they take without their franchise player? I know Yao can be built around but even though he's definitely a #1 option, great big men need either great second options or perimiter shooters to take advantage of constant double-teams. I do not think, with Yao being in his late 20's, that the Rockets should rebuild. They need to try to pull off a superstar for superstar deal or if they get young studs and draft picks then they should use that as components for a trade in the off-season. This is a tricky situation for the Houston Rockets.
