    I want Yao to sign for the min. He owes the team that much for doing nothing but get fat in the last two years.

    This^^. Rehab for a couple of seasons. That way he can also spend time with his family.

    I'm hoping Yao is well enough to continue his career. It'd be a shame to see him go out this way.

    As a player, I wouldn't resign Yao because of his history of injuries. But I would love for him to be part of the team as either an assistant coach so he can help coach young developing big man or a mentor for young players.

    Oooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    One Time
    Oooo, yeah,Oooooooo
    We could sail away
    Or catch a freight train
    Or a rocketship into outer space
    Nothin' left to do
    Too many things were said
    To ever make it feel
    Like yesterday did

    Seasons must change
    Separate paths, separate ways
    If we blame it on anything
    Let's blame it on the rain

    I knew it all along
    I'd have to write this song
    Too young to fall in love
    Guess we knew it all along

    That's alright, that's okay
    We were walkin' through some youth
    Smilin' through the pain
    That's alright, that's okay
    Let's turn the page

    My friends called today
    Down from L.A.
    They were shooting pool all night
    Sleeping half of the day
    They said I could crash
    If I could find my own way
    I told them you were leaving
    On a bus to go away

    That's alright, that's okay
    We were two kids in love
    Trying to find our way
    That's alright, that's okay
    Held our dreams in our hands
    Let our minds run away
    That's alright, now that's okay
    We were walkin' through some youth
    Smilin' through the pain
    That's alright, let's turn the page
    And remember what I say Yao
    And it goes this way

    Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away
    Yao, don't go away mad
    Now Yao, just go away
    Here we go

    Don't go away mad
    I don't want you to stay, Yeah
    Come on, Yao

    Come on, Yao
    I'll say it one more time

    Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away
    Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away yeah, yeah
    Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away, Yeah
    Now I said Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away
    Now I said Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away, yeah
    Yao, don't go away mad
    Yao, just go away...

    :)

    Sadly, I've got to agree with this. The chances are pretty high in my opinion that he plays in less than 15 games for the rest of his career, if not less. I love Yao just as much as the next guy, but I think his playing days are very limited now. If he's able to play this season, great, he'll be fun to watch, and if he can't, then we'll thank him for all he's done and for giving his all every game. I hope he's able to come back, but we shouldn't risk paying more than the veteran minimum for him.

    What disappoints me to no end is how our superstars' bodies broke down way before they even turned thirty. No one, but both of them. Meanwhile, we have Jurassic park players who are closer to getting an AARP card than a drivers license still playing in the league and winning a ring to boot.

    As a life-long Rocket fan, life is sometimes a damn biatch. :mad:

    Quit living in the past.

    QQing about YOF is so 2007.

    Why would you be talking about Yao in a negative light back then anyways? He was only the best center in basketball back then and carrying the franchise.
