This sucks - Yao was becomming one of the league's best big men. I wouldn't count on him coming back, not with the injuries to that foot. I agree with the author - Rockets should just rebuild.

The writer (and others) have complained that he contributed to his physical breakdown by participating in International play. Well, his contribution to the NBA's image in Eastern Asia turns in HUGE dividends for the league. Yao was a great investment, a great talent, and should be groomed to be a great ambassador and gateway for Eastern Asia talent to join the big league.

I blame the people around him. So many commitments and so much responsibility. He's a classy guy and doesn't seem to say no to anybody. Hopefully he can keep playing.

Sad but it's not like he had a choice where playing for China was concerned.

We are screwed.

I'm sad 4 Yao.....talk about bad luck.

I hope that a lot of these ball players have a back up plan.

Jason Kidd 2 the Knicks?

I read that too - why would Walsh want a 37 year old point guard? And why would Kidd come here? I thought he wanted to win a title.

The Pistons fire Curry.....I love a team trying 2 WIN.

Because he can still run an uptempo system, and D'Antoni LOVES the "7 seconds or less" offense.

Graycap23 said:

Bout time. It was WAY overdue. Curry wasn't ready to be a head coach.

MuthaFunka said:

IMO, either Avery or Bill Laimbeer will be the next Pistons coach.

MuthaFunka said:

Even with Kidd the Knicks are going to suck again this season.

I guess Kidd feels the Knicks will land LeBron, Wade or Bosh in 2010.

uPtoWnNY said:

The last time Bron, Anthony and Wade's contracts were up....they all re-signed with thier current teams.

uPtoWnNY said:

Avery may work.

uPtoWnNY said:

Yep.

Can any one think of a single reason why any team would sign A.I.?

MuthaFunka said:

What do you get when you take the first letter of the words in "Seven Seconds Or Less" and spell them backwards?

Wow. I feel badly for Yao. He seems like since he came into the league, he could never catch a good groove. I hope that he is able to beat the odds and come back for the 2010-2011 season.

Odom 2 the Spurs?
Sheed 2 the Celtics?

Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon are the newest Pistons.

rumors;
Hedo to Toronto
Ariza to Cleveland

uPtoWnNY said:

Ariza.....is a scrub.

Graycap23 said:

Exactl. And that's why I said he GRADUATED from scrub to this season being a star role player.

MuthaFunka said:

Lol.....The Cav's are fools if they pay this guy more than the mid level exception. FOOLS.

You know how cats' premiums rise after they get a title.

I repeat.....4 points a game ave.
