Re: Yao extension w/ link

lol @ the sarcasm the guy puts in his article.

And Ballscientist and ur insider friend , u guys can rest in peace now



an article from a chinese website:
Quote:
The Houston Rockets have locked upthree-time all-star center Yao Ming to 2011, according to Team Yao leader Eric Zhang.

"Yao Ming has signed a five-year extension contract with the Rockets today," Zhang told Xinhua on Wednesday.

The contract extension is worth around 76 million US dollars with Yao having an ability to opt out after the fourth year, according to Zhang.
Quote:
A strong faith in the franchise that also included another superstar Tracy Mcgrady ironed Yao's determination to stay at Houston.

"Yao has a dream of winning the NBA finals at least once, and he believed to stay at Houston he would have a better chance than moving to another team after the next season," Zhang said. "He also believed the Rockets can help him develop his full potential in the sport and make him a really good basketball player."

"He is very happy in Houston," Zhang added. "He likes the city,the team and his teammates."

Re: Yao extension w/ link

According to the chron, it is near $80 million:

Quote:
According to the report, Yao is expected to earn 25 percent of the upcoming salary caps. Under the current one, that would make the 7-6 center's deal worth about $80.9 million. Yao will receive $5.594 million in 2005-06, the final year of his rookie contract.

"He's the best center in the NBA on one end now," Mavericks swingman Jerry Stackhouse said. "The team has to focus on him more than any center in the NBA, even Shaq."

"He's 7-6, turning and fading. You want a guy to turn out, unfortunately he was hitting the shot," Brown said. "What could I do? I had a hand up. I was, '(Man), another one.' Now I know what it's like when guys play against Kobe (Bryant)."
