The lack of off-season moves by the Houston Rockets may be an indication that they are holding out hope for a return of Yao Ming. It seems the Rockets are reluctant to blow up the roster, an admission that Yao is a lost cause, but they don't have room to sign a major free agent without unloading a significant number of contracts.

Yao Ming underwent two successful surgeries on his fractured left foot on Tuesday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View: One repaired the hairline fracture in the foot, and another attempted to realign the bones in the foot "in an effort to prevent the recurrence of the injury." The Rockets have not officially said how long they expect Yao to be out, only that he is planning on participating in training camp in October 2010. It should be a long season for the team in 2009-10.

David Andersen has agreed to a two year contract with the Rockets, according to Fox Houston.
Our View: Andersen was traded to Houston from Atlanta earlier last week. An Australian, Andersen is a seven foot center the Rockets hope will help offset the loss of Yao Ming for the season. He isn't likely to be much of a fantasy contributor in 2009-10, but should stay on your radar just in case.

Houston Rockets center Yao Ming will have surgery on his broken left foot next week and may miss all of next season before coming back for a training camp that doesn't begin until October 2010. The team's announcement Friday signals that the 7-foot-6 Yao doesn't plan on retiring, but it doesn't appear like the seven-time All-Star will be around to help them next season, either.

Yao to have surgery, miss season
Source (fanball.com)
(C - hou) | 0 comments.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Yao Ming will undergo surgery on his fractured left foot next week, and will likely miss the entire 2009-10 NBA season.
Our View: Yao's surgery will include a bone graft and realignment in his left foot, but it should alleviate some of the stress in the area (which is what likely caused the hairline fractures he has been plagued with the last two seasons). There is currently no timetable for his return, but since the team was granted a "disabled player exception", all signs point to him missing the entire season. Retirement isn't out of the question, but seems unlikely at this point as the surgery is being performed to prevent future injury.

News: NBA star Yao Ming says his purchase of his former team, the financially troubled Shanghai Sharks, was motivated by the desire to help the club that jump-started his career rather than by early retirement plans. The 7-foot-6 Houston Rockets center, currently sidelined with a foot injury, signed an agreement this week to purchase all of the shares of the Sharks team for an undisclosed amount of money. "Two generations of my family have fought for this team and some of the best memories of growing up in Shanghai are inseparable from the team," said Yao said in an interview Friday with the official Xinhua News Agency. "Playing in the NBA over the past few years, I have always cared about the Sharks and hoped the best for them." [...]

The Rockets are reportedly interested in signing unrestricted free agent Theo Ratliff, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View: The Rockets need size and depth in their frontcourt after losing Ron Artest to the Lakers, and with Yao Ming's playing status in question due to his foot injury. Ratliff only averaged 12.6 minutes per game with the Sixers last season, and his fantasy stock could improve with more playing time in Houston.

Yao Ming is expected to make a decision in the next few days regarding how he'll handle the treatment of his fractured left foot, according to ESPN.
Our View: Ming could choose to immobilize his foot for three months and hope that it heals on its own, or opt to undergo surgery, which would be a safer bet but almost surely keep him out the entire 2009-10 NBA season. There are also apparently combinations of rest and surgery that he can consider, but we won't know what he plans to do until he comes out to the public in the next few days.
