  So, who will make this move first?

  In my book, considering Yao Ming's immense brand influence among Chinese as well as the fact that Rockets cut a deal with Anta earlier of this year--a Chinese Sports Wear Co, Rockets will hardly jettison a milch cow like Yao Ming and a sizable Chinese market. Therefore, Macgrady might be the one who bails.

  Sure enough, I'm not saying Rockets will be pleased to rid Macgrady, who's the engine of Rockets. The thing is, the friction and distrust between Yao Ming and Macgrady will rock Rockets and send the team spiraling down. Besides, I bet Macgrady, a highflying, go-getting player, will not be stupid enough to play ball with a rambunctious, abrasive player from China for more years.

  For fans of Rockets however, that really hurts if T-Mac can't patch up their once chummy relationship and. After all, like the old saying, it takes two to tango.
