    Even more this…

    I would love if Yao was a part of this team… That would be insane. Can Yao become part owner of the team with other investors?

    He’s basically the Adam Silver of China. I don’t think being an assistant is in the cards for him. You could probably hire Jeremy Lin though

    Hateful? I just think Rasheed was a jerk who did longterm damage to the franchise. You and I have agreed so many times and now you block me? Me thinks thou doth protest too much!

    Yang and Clingan are going to provide consistent, fantastic screening and re-screening in the offense. That's one aspect where they are very similar.
    Another aspect is that they don't give up on a play.

    I’ll never let anyone convince me not to get hyped about SL.

    I thought he stepped down from his position with the CBA. But I agree, he’s got bigger shrimp to eat.

    I will lose it if we ever see a “Eat the head” type goated commercial. I hope he becomes as famous and popular as Yao. I think he could man… Gonna depend on how he plays. But he’s got popularity like you don’t always see with players. The basketball fan base loves this young man.

    If he’s an all-star they need to get Yang,D Wade, Chuck, and Yao together.

    Going from Ayton>Yang might be the biggest upgrade the Blazers have ever done at a position in the off-season?

    Felton> Dame was a huge upgrade. But Felton was a much better player than Ayton so who knows.

    If he can shoot respectively from 3, he's going to slice and dice from the top of the key
