Why would so-called only fans propose a max for Yao?

I have notice that the majority of YOFs have become better Rockets/NBA fans.

Ever since your leader Pryuen went hidden dragon on you.

If you want, I'll be your leader and you shall bow down to tinman!

 

with the current makeup of this rockets team, replacing yao with 2 10mils players doesn't get you anywhere.

yao, like anyone else, is certainly replaceable. the question is whom we replace him with, and with reasonable amount of feasibility. and i don't care if he gets a max contract (my best guess is that he will), that's b/w his agents and the team(s) negotiating. this "is yao WORTH a max contract" discussion is meaningless and never goes anywhere. to me, if he gets it in the end, then he's worth it; if he doesn't, then he is not worth it. simple.

 

still,
show me ONE single thread, started by a YOH or even anyone, anywhere, any country, that is bashing Yao during the playoffs

if not, would you please take back you ****?

 

The guy who is buying and sellinn houses?

Don't get me wrong. Hakeem is the greatest Rocket player ever. But current Rocket center is Yao.

Rooting for Yao at this moment is just like rooting for Hakeem back in old days. I see nothing wrong with that.

 

I'm rooting for Shane and Ron and the other people who are healthy right now.
When Dream was hurt, I was rooting for Larry Smith, the most hated man in China.

 

ibm, I don't think they're going anywhere with yao. I don't this is a championship quality team. I guess I'm tired of relying on 2 injury prone players like tracy and yao.

 

No, Yao can't be proud of you too. By your own action you become the type you loath, the antimatter, the polar opposite. The sad thing is, you don't realize that.

at least watch some starwars.

Oh, this talk about Yao's contract during the playoff run isn't spearheaded by YOFs. So, get lost.

 

You are still rooting for Dream even if he's not playing anymore.

Nothing wrong for people rooting for Yao, who will play for Rockets next season.

Yao fans are rooting for Shane, Ron, Scola etc too. I don't mind being called YOF, but as long as Yao is a Rocket, I'm rooting for Rox.

BTW, most Yao fans no longer care a bit about Larry Smith, if you don't mention him, I believe.

 

Yao Ming is going to get a max contract, barring a catastrophic injury next season, whether on the Rockets or on some other team. Those who fail to recognize this fact need to get their heads examined.

 

understood. iirc, you were saying that yao could still be an important piece on a championship team, yes? what makes you change your mind?

 

I will continue to mention Larry Smith because he was unjustly vilified by people who don't understand what he did for the Rockets as a player and as coach.

The irony of all it is that, the YOFs wanted Larry Smith to play Yao more in his rookie season, but they hate Rick for playing him alot of minutes now!

Hakeem played the whole freaking game and during Ramadan he didn't even eat food.

If Yao becomes a Laker or Knick, I would NOT root for him. I'm a CLUTCHFAN and I came here for the same reason CLUTCH made this board.

so to the YOFs... this is for you.

 

Giving Yao a max contract will be a huge gamble. But I am sure it is a gamble a few team will take. So yeah, I am sure he will get the Max, from Houston or not.

But just take a look at centers you listed. None of them are getting Max (Shaq could have 25M per if he got a max), none of them are No.1 options in their team. Furthermore, even though they are not getting max money, few of their contracts are considered good ones.

 

Now you are getting ridicuous. I don't consider you a YOH like redao, but this thread shows you have no class or logic whatsoever.

Where people bashed Smith, it had nothing to do with him as a player, it had everything to do with how he coached the team.

When Rudy left for health reason, Rockets was in great shape to get into playoffs. Then under Larry Smith, Rockets lost something lie 5 in 6 at one point to get 3 games behind Suns. Nobody was happy, including Yao, SF3, Mobley. None of them liked his coaching. He was the coach who deserved bashing at that time. You are suppose to be a "Rocket Fan", How could you make Larry Smith above Rocets success? Why can't Larry Smith be bashed if his team is losing?

Situation changes. Yao at that time doesn't have health issue, Fans want to see more minuts from him. Now he has health issue, fans want to see less minutes so he can keep playing for Rockets. Anything wrong with that?

Right now Yao is a Rocket, so why do you hat people rooting a Rocket player so much? Is that what "Rcoects fan" supposed to do?

Don't throw those childish stuff on me. Those picutures might be improtant to you, but means absolutely nothing for me. I don't give a damn about it.

 

Of course you don't.

You didn't respect the Rocket's coaching decision back then, because you care more about Yao than the Rockets.

And you obviously don't care about Rockets history, because a true Rocket fan respects what Rockets in the past have done.

For example, if I became a Laker fan, I wouldn't get mad if Kurt Rambis became interim coach and made his decision to bench Sasha.

If I was a Sasha-Only-Fan, then I would be mad! Who is Kurt Rambis? Why does he not play Sasha!

But a Laker fan, would say, hey Kurt played on those championship teams, I believe he knows what to do and will live with his decision.

If Yao played more that rookie season, we'd still suck.

 

you're just angry Pryuen left and doesn't post 1000000 pics of Yao getting a haircut anymore.

When did I say I hated Yao? I actually like the YOFs more than TOFs, but they are DEFINITELY not in the same class as the ROFs.

You and the angry YOFs are taking your anger on us ROFs for no reason cause you are mad he's hurt again.

Hey, it is what it is. I'm still rooting for the Rockets regardless.

That's what ROFs do.

 

Yes, the key is that a pay cut is from Yao, not from the rockets. I hope Yao could accept a less offer for the team improvement. The goal for him is to win a NBA title rather than making extra $M.
