To the surprise of no one, Yao's all but done for the season.

LINK
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has elected to have extensive surgery on his fractured left foot that almost certainly eliminates his chances of playing next season but offers hope that he can resume his NBA career and not fracture the foot a career-ending third time.

After consultation with a battery of doctors, Yao, 28, has decided to undergo a bone graft to heal the existing fracture and have his arch surgically lowered to reduce the stress on his foot.

Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas had a fracture in the same part of the foot, had a similar combination of surgeries and has played the last eight seasons without suffering another fracture.

Yao has broken the foot twice, most recently last May in Game 3 of Houston's second-round playoff battle with the eventual champions, the Lakers.


So what do the Rockets do now? Do they tank (pre-Twin Towers Spurs) or do they look for a big man?

I say we offer up Mobely & Hughes for cap relief and roll the dice that Yao can go on like Big Z.

But they might be interested in the Curry + Mobley for T-Mac trade before the mid-season deadline (i.e., once T-Mac gets injured and their offense grinds to a halt).

Let's hope Curry plays just well enough to get traded, but not well enough to stay on the Knicks. We need his contract gone.
