Yao and LeBron, not what you think

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Think of Yao and LeBron on the court together for the rest of their careers and your first thought is why would LeBron want to sign with Houston?
But that is not the source of this discussion. The source is from Hoopsworld reporting that a Chinese group is interested in investing in the Cavaliers.
Not when the New World Development Company, representing a group of Chinese investors, is set to buy a 15 percent ownership interest in the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Hong Kong-based group is led by Kenny Huang, a Chinese-born investor who has in the past brokered marketing deals with the Houston Rockets
and New York Yankees.On the surface, it may be merely the next most logical step in the growing relationship between the NBA and China, where basketball is wildly popular.

Now that would mean they would be very interested in prying Yao Ming from the Rockets and getting him paired up with LeBron in Cleveland.

Would it be a good fit? Maybe not, because Yao would have to move away from the basket to open up driving lanes for LeBron and that just does not make sense to me. But marketingwise it is a no brainer. It would create tremendous Chinese interest and don’t think for a minute that the NBA would not love that.
The NBA plans for world domination!
