This is again part of the old news about what Li Yao Min said a few days earlier. Latest news from official Rocket's site is Rocket's team is on the way to negotiate with someone (other than Li Yao Min) who has the final say.
This Li Yao Min is a real pain in the butt, though, isn't he? He and Jerry Krause must be racking up those long distance bills.
It looks like Li is fighting with Yao. He mentioned the Evergreen Sports Company. He said:" "We were impressed by their sincerity. In order to develop Yao, they had rented out an athletic club with a gym. They hired 10 players to play with Yao, they rented the coaches, a training staff, a nutritionist, physiotherapist. They had language instructors available to teach him English at all times of the day and night. At the time, they had organized the very best program. We were impressed because it was very detailed." I checked Yao's diaries he published on the press and he didn't mentioned this company at all. If Yao was under such a good program, didn't he mention it? "They hired 10 players to play with Yao", Li is lying. Yao Ming has the right to choose his agent, right?
This article isn't very clear about the sequence of events or what actually occured regarding Evergreen. Unless something has changed, this article from CNN/SI would seem to indicate that they've been out of the picture from the NBA side as an 'agent' for awhile.
