    With a bunch of Chinese teams spending money real NBA players like Kenyon Martin, Wilson Chandler, etc., Shanghai Sharks owner Yao Ming has decided to bring back warmed-over Rice product Mike Harris and adding D-Leaguer Ryan Forehan-Kelly.

    He has truly learned the essence of moneyball.

    LOL did you do this yourself?

    It's the first time I've seen this picture and I never thought about putting the Yao and Morey meme together.

    Yep. I'm surprised no one has thought it before. I thought it would make sense since Yao's a GM now.

    Damn that's harsh :grin:

    Technically Yao is not the GM, his former agent Eric Zhang is the GM. But money comes from Yao.

    Yao Ming's team is 0-3 now, the worst part is they haven't played any of the title favorites yet.

    This is probably racist but... who is the cheapest and most hard-line owner in the NBA's labor negotiations?
