Yao's whole problem was that he was playing too much basketball. He would also play for China in the summer. Being 7'6 and 300 lbs and playing 82 games + playoffs is bad enough.
Yao took an entire year off last year. I expect him - with his reduced minutes - to be ready come playoff time.

That's something people forget. Yao played in the Olympics, too. Some thought he was coming back too soon from his last foot injury to play in the Olympics. Now, he will have had a year and a half off from
any basketball, by the time the 2010 season starts.
