How much will Yao make next year as a Rocket?

probably too much.

 

One million dollars of money.

 

Its' gonna be too much whatever it is.

 

I understand if the Rockets don't want to cut ties, but anything over the minimum is too much.

 

I will guess a base salary of about $3 million together with incentives out the ying-yang. Under this sort of contract, if he were to resume starters minutes of about 33-38 minutes a game and produce statistically like he did when he was at the top of his game, he might bring in 15-20 million dollars a year.

However, if he gets injured during pre-season and is out for the year, he would get the $3 million. What he brings to the team from a marketing perspective with the Chinese fans is easily worth more than that. It may sound like a lot, but really, this is a no-brainer.

 

Anything over Vet's min is too much...

 

as sad as it maybe. Probably more than the chuck wagon.

 

starters minutes are clearly not an option anymore. He can't sustain more than 18 min at the max

 

$1 and a sanwich

 

oops

 

I hope none. His tenure in a Rockets uniform was a massive failure and disappointment.

 

a low contract loaded with incentives. keep bringin in those chinese $$$$$!!!

 

Nothing. Yao is going to retire

 

I am pretty sure this isn't allowed in the CBA. I think incentive laden contracts in general a problem.

 

Why talk mess about yao wen hes the only Rocket that loves the rockets as much as we do and how is it a faiulure if we would of never had yao we would of never had all those years of makin the playoffs and staying a little bit relevent

 

I kida want him to retire and join the rockets staff as a development type person. He could help out our big men, Jordan hill/Patrick Patterson and hopefully deandre Jordan

 

Wah wah wa wah wah?

 

We would have done much better drafting Jay Williams, I agree.
