Default RE:Yao Ming gets max deal from Rockets (ESPN)

It's not speculation. The contract situation in all its complexity was well dissected in the media in China back when Yao first came to USA. As for sources, I doubt those three year old news articles still exists on web. I forgot the specifics, but Yao is paying no where near 50% to CBA.

That is not true. Yao is reported paid $8mil to his old shanghai team. That is pretty much it. The 50% arrangement by the CBA had no legal background whatsoever. The commisioner offically said Yao isn't paying much, if at all, to them.
SOURCE?

That would be contrary to every published report from predraft, 2002 and recent. Idle speculation on your part I am sure.
