[TMU]

The NBA has granted the Rockets a disabled player salary exception in the wake of Yao Ming's season-ending injury.

Yao underwent surgery on Jan. 6 to repair a stress fracture in his left ankle.

The exception allows Houston to acquire a free agent, or trade for a player without having to match salaries, up to the value of the mid-level exception (about $5.765 million).

The Rockets must use the exception by Jan. 31 or it will expire.

interested to see what Morey can do with it

He probably wont do anything with it...

We've had a few trade exceptions all season.

Morey's motto: Acquiring assets........ and not use them.

This one CAN be combined with other players correct? If thats true get Jordan on the phone asap. Get Gerald Wallace for exception, bud, & Hill.

Wish we could combine all the trade exceptions in one big one but that is not possible.
