Yao's Career Over ...(possibly)

[haterade]

The Rockets have acknowledged that Yao will be lost for the 2009-2010 season due to his ailing foot. There are whispers that this might be the end of his career. Shame for a centre who hasnt even peaked yet.

crap! I'm hoping there is some good news coming out of the other specialists he sees during the week. I'd hate to think that's it for him. Kind of stuffs up Houston as well.

Yep. Egan just had his 1000th operation, if it doesn't heal properly this time he may not even be able to walk normally ever again.

The I'd say he's ****ed.

Which means Houston has some decisions to make on Artest and TMac

Zach Randolph.

James Naismith rolls in his grave every time Z-Bo thumps his chest.

Being 7'6" means all activity is high impact. It is an enormous shame for Yao and the Rockets if true.

And if true, how do the Rockets position themselves?

Are they a contender without Yao for the season?
DO they re-sign Artest?
What can they get for McGrady?

 

[Burningleviathan]

We have lost both out centres. We did okay against LA without either but you couldn't go the entire season that small. Get rid of McGrady and see if there is a Centre who can be atleast competetive.

His height and weight wont make it any easier to come back.

All the best to him.

If you exclude people with those characteristics that's 90% of the league gone....
