Where is Wang Zhizhi?: The Sports Page, a Dallas weekly, places the issue of Wang Zhizhi's absence from the Mavericks in a political context. The article suggests that if Wang gets too hung up on American-style "personal freedom," China will prevent Yao Ming from reporting to the Houston Rockets. Think the NBA's getting nervous?

As a Mavericks fan, I was disappointed they couldn't work out a deal to at least get a draft pick for Wang. I didn't mind them letting him go, though.
