Lakers be happy Jianlian on his way

[I know you are]

Fitting.

90% of Laker/Kobe fans are Asian.

You have never been to LA have you. Large Hispanic following for Kobe.

Obvious cash move, smart move by the Lakers marketing team.

inb4 he gets selected again for the all star game

???

Would be too atypical of an off-season under the Jim Buss era if our free-agent signings weren't highlighted by reclamation projects, such as him...

Either way, will be interested to see how it shakes out. I always felt he was a bust when he was drafted for my Bucks (my primary team) back in 2007, but I always appreciated his big-man-transcendent athleticism; that's much more utilizable in the small-ball upswing where agility is oftentimes needed from big-men.

i am amazed ppl dont know how good Yi actually is.
he has been selected as CBA MVP for 4-5 years atraight?
this is Yi's ceiling right now, but he's probably only going downward from now on, however, he's definitely a solid starting PF in any nba team, hell, he's probably the best player in lakers right now...

Crazy, he could bank and star at home

He can't bank $8m at home.

I could play in the CBA. It sucks.
But he will be a solid scoring role player in current NBA.

Wow, how much help does Kobe need???
