Yao Ming to da BANK.
Yao Ming, the Chinese-born, All-Star Center for the Houston Rockets of National Basketball Association, has signed a gigantic contract extension. Not the biggest, but LARGE still. He will be guaranteed to be paid a quarter of his team's total (theoretical) salary budget. As a fellow native Shanghainese, I am happy for Yao, but I have to wonder how this will impact the rest of the team. Especially since Tracy McGrady, Yao's smaller (in size) partner in crime, has an equally bigger contract. This will mean that two players will take up at least half the team salary, which will dramatically limit the manuverability of the team to sign free agents and re-sign productive teammates.
