Yi to demand a trade?

[bk33]

I'd wanna know that's actually Yi's personal wish before I bash him.

[adamcz]

it is his life, he can do what he wants

True, he can stay in China his whole life if he doesn't like the rules of the NBA. Nobody has to join the NBA if they don't want to.

Yi must play in the NBA seriously if the rumor are true that the Dallas Mavericks are trading Devin Harris for Yi Jianlian (6th pick overall in the 2007 NBA Draft). That would be an amazing frontcourt for the Dallas Mavericks Dirr and Yi Jianlian, beside i could not see Yi Jianlian backing out and going back to China sort of a Fran Vasquez effect when he does not sign with the Orlando Magic and play in the Europe Instead.

why such a small town like Milwaukee has an NBA team?

It's many times bigger than Green Bay, which has no trouble selling out football games.

There is absolutely no comparison to interest in the Packers versus that of the Bucks. None at all. Milwaukee is and always had been a dead town.

[adamcz]

Why would the Bucks consider a horrible offer like Devin Harris for Yi? You must be joking.

Many players have done this in the past. I remember Steve Francis doesn't wanna play for the Grizzles. He wasn't drafted by the team but still he publicly stated that.

I dont see Yi fitting in the Buck's roster. I'm sure Yi doesnt want to come off the bench. He wants playing time.

[adamcz]

So you're saying the Bucks should move to the lively town of Green Bay?

Yi wants out...Who does this kid thinks he is???

A victim of China's communist government.

[Rasheed1]

Sixers are said to be still seriously pursuing Yi... Considering what we got in the draft, I'd love for Yi to come here...We got plenty of Asians for him....

All bench players wish they had more playing time. They should try and get better so that the coach will be more inclined to give it to them.

yes he was drafted by the grizzlies, but they traded him to the rockets for a big pile of crap because he threw a fit. i don't even recall what was involved anymore. erik dickerson i think. maybe kevin willis (who was already old) or othella harrington. possibly shandon anderson? i really don't remember anymore.

Outside of Iggy, the Sixers don't have much I would want. I know that AI is off limits, so that would mean no deal.

what trade pieces are being mentioned?

[Kujo]

This was a high risk pick for the Bucks that could turn out to be disastrous. It's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out. Let's see if the Bucks remain firm in their stance of not trading him.
