Our Raymond has translated a couple of more Chinese articles into English. The first one is with Rockets’ guard Luther Head, who says he hopes he’s not traded.

The second one is with Daryl Morey, who is in Vegas for the NBA Summer League. It’s interesting to read that Morey still thinks Vasillis Spanoulis will want to come back next season, despite quotes from Spanoulis there is no way that’s going to happen. Good work, Raymond!

On Sunday, Yao spent some time with children infected with the HIV virus in Shanghai as part of the Basketball Without Borders program.

Since Yao is a spokesperson for the HIV/AIDS prevention campaign in China, he asked for the public’s help to not discriminate against children like these and to provide more of a helping hand. To see more photos with Yao and the kids, click here and here.
