Yao Ming has decided to pick up the player option on his contract, and return to the Houston Rockets next year instead of joining the star-studded free agent class of 2010.

Given that Yao didn't play last year because of reconstructive foot surgery, I think this is a wise decision on his part.

I somewhat disagree on this point. There are a lot of free agents out there, but there are also a lot of teams with cap room. Assuming Chicago/Miami get LeBron, Wade, and Bosh and Johnson and Stoudemire go to New York, that still leaves the Nets, Clippers, Wizards, Cavs, and Chicago/Miami (whichever of those two teams comes up empty) fighting for the remaining FA's. None of those teams will accept coming up empty, so someone would be willing to overpay for Yao, regardless of his injury history. I think Yao missed out on an opportunity here.

I actually would have been very interested to see what would happen if Phoenix could scrounge up the money and sign Yao themselves. It would have been the biggest test to date for Phoenix's miracle medical staff.

Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me.

The only man who could hold Jordan under 20 points a game. When I worked at Norfolk Scope the Tar heels.came in to play the ODU Monarchs. Usually the crowd was about 1500 for an ODU game, but this one was a sell out, 10,000+.
