    Vet's min is around 1.2M with around 400k of that paid by the league and not included in the team salary.

    I think he should retire and stay with the Rockets in a coaching or administrative capacity.

    Given that I love Yao but have zero confidence that he will play 80 games, I say yes. You would be hard pressed to find another backup center so capable for so cheap. That he's all class is icing.

    No way.

    He's done.

    We need a quality backup for Yao that can play consistently hard and effectively.

    I appreiate the man mutumbo is but his time here should be over. Huge liability next season

    I think the only reason we might resign him is out of respect. With Butler I think we have a great backup for Yao. If he is signed he'll probably play only garbage minutes like maybe 5 minutes every few weeks.

    not so sure about that... you'd think they would have done it for Hakeem.

    That alone would be worth the MLE. Play-by-play by Cookie Monster. I'd be in stitches. :D

    If Deke wants to play one more season, you have to sign him. He earned it last season.
