“He is our No. 1 priority—period,” Nelson said. OMG! Dirk Nowitzki decides to become a free-agent opting out his 5th year with the Mavericks. Presidnet and general manager, Donnie Nelson will travel to Germany this Thursday (June 26, 2010) to visit Dirk begging him to stay with the Mavs. Nowitzki have been the cornerstone of the franchise during his entire career with the Mavericks. I'm willing to bet if/when Dirk leaves the Mavs winning percentage will go down, down, down.
Good luck Donnie...hope you're able to change his mind.

Yao Ming returns to the Rockets
HOUSTON (AP)
According to the Houston Rockets, Yao Ming will exercise his option to return to the Rockets after sitting out a year with a foot injury. The 7-foot-6 All-Star center who said last Tuesday that he has picked up his player option for next season, the last year of his five-year contract. Yao sat out last season following reconstructive foot surgery and said he wanted to see how the injury healed before making his decision. Apparently, his foot has healed as expected.
Yao resumes basketball activities and hopes to be near 100 percent when training camp begins. “To miss one year is a long time,” Yao said. “I’ve never been in this situation before, and I’m getting as much information as I can about my foot, to see what’s the best for me and best for the Rockets. I decided a couple of days ago, and there’s no one better than the Rockets now.”
The question is will he get playing time? I doubt it.
