  For the Rockets, replacing Yao Ming likely will be impossible.

Making moves — from using salary-cap exceptions to dealing Yao’s expiring
contract — could be the key to retooling without him.

The Rockets have begun talks regarding a variety of options designed to
motivate teams seeking cost savings to make a deal, a person with knowledge
of the Rockets’ thinking said.

The Rockets have spoken with Sacramento, which has the sort of young talent
the Rockets would seek, and Charlotte, which would more likely have to
include attractive draft picks along with contracts, according to one
individual familiar with the talks.

The Kings have been steadfast in a refusal to deal first-round pick DeMarcus
Cousins, despite a rocky start. The Bobcats are more likely to offer players
who don’t fit in to the Rockets’ plans, such as Boris Diaw and Nazr
Mohammed, along with desirable draft considerations.

Nothing is close, with a deal much more likely closer to the February trade
deadline, as with last season’s trade of Tracy McGrady’s expiring contract.

Yao, 30, who attended Monday’s game against the Wizards but declined to
speak with the media, was given “a heads up” that his contract could be
involved in trade talks before the Rockets began discussions with other
teams, according to an individual with knowledge of those conversations.

Options aplenty

But the Rockets will have several ways to entice a team needing to reduce
costs.

They applied last week for a disabled-player salary-cap exception to be worth
up to $5.88 million.

They have a $6.33 million trade exception acquired in the deal for Courtney
Lee. The Rockets protected the full value of that exception by using a much
smaller trade exception from the trade of David Andersen in acquiring
Terrence Williams.

They could offer Yao’s contract in a deal, an option Yahoo.com reported
Monday that the Rockets are “exploring.” In that sort of deal, the Rockets
would have to take back roughly $17.7 million worth of contracts, but a team
acquiring Yao would not only have the contract expire during the season, but
would have insurance pick up the bulk of Yao’s contract for the remainder of
this season.

When asked if trading Yao’s contract is a more likely way to make a deal
than the other means to entice cost-cutting teams, the individual said, “I
can’t even predict which is more likely.”

Goal No. 1: Middle man

He said the options to offer Yao’s expiring contract or the cap exceptions
are the Rockets’ way to have “as many arrows in their quiver” as possible
when they expect trade talks to pick up.

Yao, 7-6, is considering options to treat the stress fracture in his left
ankle, though team physician Dr. Walter Lowe said Dec. 17 that surgery is “
the smartest thing.” He estimated it would take eight to 10 months for Yao
to be able to play again.

General manager Daryl Morey said the same day that the Rockets would consider
signing Yao to another contract if his prognosis is good. Trading him would
not preclude bringing him back as a free agent, though the Rockets would have
to use a salary-cap exception — rather than their right to exceed the cap to
sign their own player — to sign him again.

“Our biggest need is to have a presence in the middle,” Morey said. “That’
s what Yao brings us.”

For now, the emphasis is on using whatever trade tools necessary to improve
the roster and fill the void left by his injury.

目前Morey已經和國王及山貓討論過交易Yao,但是國王不想交易Cousins,而山貓想丟出來的
是Moery不想要的球員,Morey要的是山貓的選秀權...

其實在商言商,我能理解火箭試圖交易姚明的想法及理由,我真正在意的是也許火箭已經
知道姚明打算退休了---不然火箭大可續簽姚明就好了,畢竟他是火箭的金雞母,就是因為
Yao要退休,只好將姚明的到期合約送出去,就算讓Yao的合約直接到期且明年姚退休,但是
明年的FA市場受到封館的影響變數很大,而且明年的FA不大吸引人,我能理解Morey的想法
--與其坐等,不如拿到一些能實質握在手中的籌碼

曾經的MM連線啊......
