Desmond Mason may join Bucks. Does this affect Yi Jianlian?
Jul 16th, 2007 by totoro
It’s being reported (by the Racine Journal Times) that the Bucks may be close to signing Desmond Mason again. Which leads to the question: what does this mean for Yi Jianlian?
With the re-signing of Mo Williams, the Bucks could have a core roster featuring Michael Redd, Mo Williams, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, and Desmond Mason. The front court will also have a returning Bobby Simmons, Dan Gadzuric and David Noel, who showed much improvement in the summer league, averaging 11.4 points and 5 rebounds.
What kind of minutes could Yi expect on this Bucks team with this signing? Will this cause his agent to want him traded even more?
Let the guy go. They should take the best offer for him. It is going to muddy the chemistry and Milwaukee can’t afford more drama.
don’t sign him yet! he would realize that it’s his loss! the last player i knew who demanded a trade after being drafted was steve francis! and look at what happened to his career! the bucks atill has yi’s rights anyway for at least four years for all I know! So by that time, he is still 23 years old and maybe, the bucks are one of the best teams in the east and Yi might want to join them because they are already a contender!
I totally agree with Rick T. I mean, why not trade him? Its not like he’s (Yi) a proven 20-10 go-getter in the NBA. Not to mention all the talk about how his representatives don’t want him in Milwaukee. I think that their front court is fine. & even if it isn’t, how much better can we expect a foriegn player who hasn’t played against any real competition, make them? Now i’m not a hater. Far from 1. All i’m saying is that maybe Milwaukee can find a deal out there that makes every1 happy? Like Yi to Chicago for Joakim Noah? I’m just throwing it out there.
The Milwaukee Bucks unforunately won the right to select the #6 best player and the draft… Yi Jianlian fully understood that there was a 95% probability that he would be selcted in this area. Or is he stupid or is he stupid to enlist in the draft than cry like a baby. I would recommend the Milwaukee Bucks not to compromise it standard or principal and cave in to Yi Jianlian and the China’s bull s…. It is better to stand for something than fall for everything.
Just Trade Yi to the Sacramento Kings for Brad Miller.
Yea like that could ever happen. the kings wont give up their center miller for yi no way… Millers in the USA team geez
We have 2 Centers in Sacramento Spencer Hawes and Mikki Moore why not Trade Brad Miller for Yi. Yi want to Go to Sacramento and the Trade would be Good for Both Teams.
