    I just heard the whisper, can anybody shed some more light ? I see no reason he should ever play for that incorrigible team again.

    I hope this is true. It IS time for him to get a break. No offense to Team China, but Yao has paid his dues. Let him win a little bit in the NBA.

    He has suggested that the Olympics will be his last with the CNT. Ultimately, though, I'm not sure if its his decision. When they request his presence next summer, we'll see what he does.

    Whatever he and the CNT decides I'm cool with. I certainly won't celebrate him dissing his national team for the NBA. At the same time, I just don't see Yao doing that. It would have to be a mutual decision for all parties involved.

    Lock this thread.

    I heard a whisper that TMac is going to be traded for Jamaal Tinsley. Maybe I'll start a thread as well :rolleyes:

    Relax, you posting rookies. He clearly said it was a rumor and was looking for confirmation.
