I thought about Yao as well. I think he has a player option at around $17 million for next year. If he exercises that option, and Houston decides they don't want to pay him that, we could swap them Damp & Barea for Yao. They then cut Damp and end up $10MM or more under the cap.

BUT

Does Yao win us a championship? How far has he carried Houston? He's always hurt, and he can't run--which means having him on a team quarterbacked by J-Kidd is just silly.

I think Haywood is just fine as our starting C. The 2 spot is where we need help, desperately. Gotta go for D-Wade.
