I read somewhere Yao will have Yet Another Surgery to repair the torn ligament in his shoulder next summer... I am really a bit pissed now, why would not he just do it in Feb and rehab it with his foot injury! I hope we would not get another notice some time next year that he has to be shut down for the shoulder injury till the end of the 09 season. It is the Rockets and not the CNT paying his salary, isn't it
I recall that back then there's concern that after the shoulder surgery, Yao might never gain back the same strength. So because of Olympics, they took the conservative approach.
Money is one thing, I begin to feel tired of being let down again (mind you, three times already) while every other team is in their playoff push…
The rockets are not one of the worst teams in this league for sure. I think the rockets bring a lot of joy to us (at least to me), and this is the reason why the rockets have so many fans. Yao has claimed he will focus on the rockets in future. In addition, the rockets should find a good backup for Yao. He cannot play 38-40 minutes per game. BTW, do you realize why the rockets support Yao to play for his country? If Yao earns more respect in China, the rockets will earn more money in China!
I have been kinda outspoken against what the OP has said. So have you determined whether I am a Yao only Fan or not? Listen, actually i don't really disagree with what the OP 'wanted' to say. But what's so pathetic about you people is that you had to use the lame 'Yao only fans' label hoping that it would make what you said more convincing. Are you aware that these lame labels like Y O F or T O F have been banned in this forum? Are you aware that there must be a reason that the forum moderators had to do that? Can you at least show some respect to the host/owner of this site by stop using the lame labels because doing that is not welcome here?
This is the most recent news about Yao and his injuries. It sounds terrible. If Yao can get us a good PG or a 1st pick or a center or anything, we should trade him before he is broken down.
Are you a chinese fan? If so, why do you want to trade Yao? Do you hate the rockets? For example, you might want Yao to play for the lakers!
Stupid assumption. I don't mind to trade him if the price is right. I don't care which team he will be traded to (preferably not in the West though) if the price is right. Bite me.
bullcrap, and stop lying please Mr. MD_in_Training. Yao paid some money to his ex-club in China as buy-out. Now he has all the money (after tax of course) from Rockets.
What are you trying to say? Only Chinese fans would want to trade Yao if the price is right (which is good for the team)? Are you saying that a non-Chinese fan will never trade Yao even if the Cavs offered Lebron? Is that your way to tell me that you are dumb?
Once again, I'm annoyed I can't give a thread 0 stars. Dear god man... his country is more important to him than the Rockets. Good for him. Being offended by that is completely ****ing idiotic.
