lol. Can he even walk? Such a shame, he was a very talented player.
I know this may sound a little farfetched, but please hear me out before you call me an idiot. Is there any chance – whatsoever, even if it’s only like 35% – that we could woo Yao Ming out of retirement and sign him to a 1-year deal with a player’s option (for a second year and with a no-trade clause)?
I know he’s been retired for a couple of years… but my god… he’s only 32 years old! Hakeem and Kareem (Lew Alcindor, which was Jabbar’s birth name) both peaked at 32 years old. In his prime, Yao was one of best centers in the league, averaging 25.0 points per game. He had great size at 7’6”, but at the same time he wasn’t clumsy and had great stamina. And unlike other ridiculously tall bigs, he actually had some muscle and could bang down low.
I think he would be great paired next to Duncan (twin towers part 2?). His defensive presence would be felt greatly. Not to mention, Yao has a nice touch from outside. I’m tired of the Kurt Thomas’s, the McDyess’s, and the Dejuan Blairs... can we actually get a big that’s actually big?
Who would be better at managing his minutes than the great Gregg Popovich? In Houston, the Rockets relied too much on him offensively and ran him into the ground. He won’t even be the 2nd or 3rd option here in San Antonio. We just need him to play hard defense for 25-35 minutes a game.
Money really isn’t an issue here… because he’s only the most famous person in China. Plus, he played 8 seasons (I think in Houston) so the transition to San Antonio would be easy. Think about his legacy if he were to come here and win a le with us. Let Tiago walk… make it happen RC!

He retired due to chronic injuries. "Managing minutes" only mitigates chronic injuries, it doesn't solve them or cure them.
Maybe if Yao had come to the Spurs six or seven years ago, he'd still be in the league. Fact is, he's not. And he won't be coming back.
Sigh. If only we hadn't traded Paul George.
He would never come to SA even injured.
4/10
we should get Oden, Bynum, and Yao. 3 headed monster
Bynum will probably demand a max contact, but Oden is a really possiblity. I've heard from multiple sources that the Spurs are seriously pursuing him hard.
Oh boy....
Yao? He'll fit right in.
Now i've heard it all on ST tbh
If Yao Ming wasn't Chinese he would have been acknowledged as a complete bust. The guy could never even lead Houston past the first round. Only when he was injured did they advance. And only when he was injured did the Rockets win 22 straight. He was an absolute stiff. I was laughing out loud when he retired and people were talking about putting him in the Hall of Fame. If you put Ming in, then Shawn Bradley is surely going to have to follow.
Let Tiago walk, bring Yao from the dead and pair him with sadfrog Duncan. It's a good plan.

Anyone know what Rik Smits is up to these days?
Maybe we can sign Manute Bol or Ralph Sampson?
He'd injure himself on the flight to San Antonio.
Is there anyway we could woo David Robinson out of retirement?
Is this really happening?
at you laughing at other peoples posts.
you, I can laught at whoever the I want. Livio>AK47...you mad, hoe?
no
Apparently someone doesn't know Yao's health history. His foot bones are so bad they break every year right after the all-star game. That's why he retired. His feet could only take so many stress fractures.
