If you think NBA is a working place, Yao must be very unhappy now.

    Three quarters of the original Houston team gone.

    Boss was changed from caring Rudy to cruel JVG.

    Team leader was changed from open and upbeat SF3 to "..." TMac.

    Do you guys really think players like JJ and Ward can connect with Yao?

    Except money, sore relationship with colleagues and boss is the No. 1 reason of job switching.

    Think of Peja, the leaving of Turkalu and Divac drove him crazy.

    Yao is not a happy man any more. You can read it from his facial expression and body language.

    Do Les and CD know something called chemistry?

    Actually, it was changed from Francis to Yao. It's up to him to accept the responsibility to make the Rockets the best workplace in the league. If you are indeed the leader, the team is yours and you almost loses the right to be unhappy.

    If Yao is a professional basketball player not some teenager depressed because he's friends move away. I can't read Yao's mind, but he said from his own mouth that he understands the move. TMAC can't be such a bad guy to get along with?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again:
    Yao needs a posse!

    I don't see how he could socialize with anyone in the current organization. All he does is basketball, all day, all the time. He needs close friends, and a BIG house with everything in it.

    Yao is a good player, but he has no fire. So far he has approached NBA like a professional approaches his job. He can be a very good player. But unlike his Chinese national team, he has no interest in leading an NBA team. With all the culture and language gap, do you really expect Yao can lead this bunch of drug-using, egi-flying millionares? For God's sake, Yao is a mommy's boy.

    You are wrong to state that Yao "almost loses the right to be unhappy". He does have right and have choice.

    Les already said that he is focusing on locking in Yao. If no contract extension signed within two months, things will get interesting.
