Memphis laughs and hangs up. No way do they do this.
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

Rather wait and see. Yao's last surgery was a preventative measure for his foot. Big Z had the same surgery and was able to play again without breaking it again. Anyways it is no guarantee the Memphis is going resign Gasol or match an offer. **** they don't even want to give Henry fair value.

i know time will tell but last couple of years show us that he cant stay healthy all season. what i am trying to say is Yao have what 5 season at max... i know he is the best C in this league and wish him only best, but i dont trust to his body, so in my opinion team must explore all options available.

Re: OT C position
Rockets only do that if Yao retires, no point in trading for a 1 year rental that might not even avg 25 mins a night

Re: OT C position
You guys should look into Gortat again. The Polish Hammer would be great in the Rockets lineup.

Re: OT C position
yeah it scary to get a center who never played 13mpg in a season and averages 4 points a game. and your getting him 4 years left for around $7mil a year.
but with the lack of centers in the league, they do tend to be overpaid. Im sure if given starter minutes, Gortat AT WORST would average about 10ppg/9rpg with solid post defense.

New Season, New Yao... It's everyone guess whether Rockets get a dominant Yao or soon to retire Yao. I, on my part, like to be optimistic. I sleep better.
