Channel 13 news had a chance to interview the lead Rockets attorney after he got off his airplane. The summary of his interview: 1. Yao WILL play in every single game of the regular NBA season; without being called back to China. This was one of the main things that he said that were absolutely out of the way with negotiations. 2. Yao will play in the Olympics, Rudy see's it as an "honor" that he has a player worthy to play. 3. Rockets did do a "small" physical on Yao, from what he said, Yao is perfectly healthy. In other words, good news.
I was about to ask the same thing. Screw the regular season, what good is it if Ming can't play in the playoffs? But seriously could you imagine how foolish the Chinese National Team would look if they pulled Ming for an international match against Malaysia or New Zealand. That would be like Germany pulling Nowitski or Spain yanking Gasol.
Thanks for the info. So I guess the rockets are a step closer now. But the waiting still continues...
He will be able to participate in the playoffs when we beat LA next season....that has been agreed upon. os
Beat LA, pffffff! Seriously, next year, us, beat LA, pffffffff! Oh my god I was surprised by that one.
Beat LA? Everything is possible. They are losing McInnis, Odom's situation is a mess, Brand and Kandi's contract status are a mess. Can be done... Wait, you are not talking about the other LA are you?
Rockets made me begin to love American people. They did the physical check very secretly. This is shows Rockets are very mature, wise, and taking care of the privacy of Yao Ming. I believe if the result of examination is bad, Rockets won't let it go public.
