Seriously, why Yao get no respect? after injury, anybody is talking about if he worth that max contract? Go to Celtics forum, do you see anyone question K.G's max salary and his heart towards basketball? Yao played for his national team, play for the pre-season, play for almost entire regular and 9 playoff game, still no respect... Houston forget the max contract, let Yao go, let Tmac go, get someone else, re-build... Let's us rest in peace...please
Bad comparison because the Celtics won a championship. A better one would be the Timberwolves forum when they had K.G and was constantly knocked out of the first round.
hooray we are better without Yao! oh wait maybe not... I am not sure now, maybe we give Yao MLE next season to make sure? GARM is as amazing as NBA. Yao for Oden+Lamacus Audrey.Morey get it done! makes everybody happy!
Here is couple of them, so basically, you wana Yao choose K.G's way, then I would suggest Yao take pay cut, go East, Heat or CAV
The tmac_1 guy always count on a few games we won without yao, ignoring the fact that without yao, our offense choices are much less, and when the opponent team fully studied our no-yao team, we will be dead in both off and def part. Things like Game 4 vs lakers happen by chance, but you can't account on them to win a series. however, Tmac_1 is more rational than that shortfuse guy which bash yao like trash
Sometimes HOU fans really seem very very stupid. When Yao lead us win many games, they said nothing; When we win even 1 game without Yao,they said we're better without Yao,trade Yao, give Yao MLE/10m,etc. So fools! As they said, Rox are better without Yao,just like game 5 ' great loss.
I dont think anyone of NBA players would like utilitarian fans, both KG and Yao.Maybe that's the exact reason that 70% Yao fans support he go to a better place where have better fans.
money is never a problem for Yao. he will be a lot richer after his NBA career. but in NBA money = recognition and respect. I don't think Yao would take anything less than 15M/year anytime form now on. when he is far off his peak he would just retire. so it would be tricky how to get Yao into LBJ's or Wade's team. not impossible, if you consider Yao is with 22M/year TMAC now...
I felt so sorry (& surprised) that we even have such a thread in this forum, totally disappointed on some of the so called rox fans. Are we better w/o YAO? Are we better w/o T-MAC? Are we better w/o Ron? Are we better w/o RA? Are we better w/o AB/Von? Are we better without...XYZ Are we better without the Houston Town, the TOYOTA center? Are we better... if we are not the rockets...?
Wafer = T-mac Cook = Yao you will be better team next year! hardworking yao without getting any respect, you should leave!
