    Just occurred to me that I have not yet seen this issue discussed.

    If ( and let me emphasize an extreme amount of 'not-wanting-this
    -to-happen-EVER) Yao were to sustain some sort of an injury that
    would require surgery and serious rehab, where would that take
    place?

    Would it be here, under the supervision and responsibility of the
    Rockets? Or would have have to go back to China for this?

    Hopefully it would be here, but with all the 'red' tape wrapped
    around him, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of
    stipulation that he would have to go back for something like this.

    Also, how would that affect these 'agreements' between the Rox
    and the CBA regarding the guarantee of him being available to
    play for China's NT?

    For that matter, if he were to be somehow injured while on one of
    his forays back home to play for the NT, where would he go for
    medical care, surgery, and rehab?

    Again, let me stress that I absolutely do not want to ever see him
    get injured in any way, however, with a body that size and weight
    and with the amount of pounding he is going to take over the
    years, it is almost a given that it will become an issue at some
    point.

    If anyone knows what's up with these issues, I for one would love
    to know the details.



    Ciao

    no, it wasn't a waste post. We needed a post from lovermanbuda.

    What would also make me feel much better is if Mrs Jeff would give us her mantra a couple times in this thread.

    IF something happened, we would still kick ass. Just look at the preseason thus far.

    But, back to the topic...


    Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, etc....
