The Los Angeles Lakers have waived guard Sun Yue, it was announced today.

“With the talent level and depth of our roster, the situation simply doesn’t provide an opportunity for Sun Yue to get the chance to play that he deserves,” said General Manager Mitch Kupchak. “We feel it is in Sun’s best interests to be able to go to a team where he can get the minutes to play and showcase his considerable talents. We appreciate Sun’s contributions to last season’s championship team, and wish him the best of luck with the rest of his career.”


:ohwell:

[Maniak]

Please Suns, get him!

Yue in Run N Gun would be like a healthy Yao Ming in a midgets league.

Watch, Knicks are gonna draw interest on him. :rolleyes:

[OneMoreSucka]

He was ****ing terrible.

[Abraham Lincoln]

He was ****ing terrible.
Almost as terrible as the $15 million man Sasha.

That was kind of boilerplate.

"Horrible player is cut, joke about how team will miss him greatly....". C'mon, we can do better.

He can't do better, who are you kidding...

[CantStop]

SameOldSucka always in my threads. It's like clockwork.

[Toizumi]

I hope he makes some roster. Then, when people ask which NBA player has the hottest chick (IMO) I can still say Sun Yue does :D

[BallersTalk]

They just got him for publicity. Lotta those Asians in LA.

[YAWN]

i hope he gets a shot somewhere. there is potential there

[highwhey]

i hope he gets a shot somewhere. there is potential there
wow, I thought I read "i hope he get's shot somewhere" :roll:

[thatoneblackguy]

wow, I thought I read "i hope he get's shot somewhere" :roll:
Same. :hammerhead: :oldlol:

[SYM86]

He was ****ing terrible.

how can you say he's terrible when he only play maybe average 2 mins a game, he has long arms aggressive on defends, just need to get develop by a team. hope he find a new team

[LA_Showtime]

I'm pretty sure the Lakers would have kept Sun Yue around but he failed to play in the summer league (instead playing for China) and the Lakers financial situation.

[Brujesino]

the title of this thread made me:oldlol:

[Snoop_Cat]

Oh well, at least he has a ring.
Come to NY, we sure as hell could use another competent player and we have tons of asians here

[AznTacoLover]

Go to Phx, Nashy will teach you how to get into the hole!!!
lol @ this being sticky :lol

[thatoneblackguy]

Stickied :rockon:

yeah, Funny how that happens. Please move to the lakers forum.

[boozehound]

perhaps all the bucks threads could end up being merged.

There's a reason he only played 2 minutes a game.

[franchise#3]

Probably 4th best Chinese player that ever set a foot in the NBA :bowdown:

[jrong]

Miami's interest in Odom was just a head-fake. We made the Lakers overpay for Odom because we knew they'd have to cut Sun! Now, we can sign him for the league minimum, knowing full well that he's going to turn into a new, Asian Earvin Johnson! When we pair him with Wade in the backcourt, it will be just as if back in the 80s, Magic would have came to play with Michael in Chicago or the MJs had run the floor together for LA. Brilliantly played, Pat!

[hack_a_shaq]

Anyone know if Mbenga is staying?

[Bcogswell]

Hopefully he can find a team that is willing to let him develop.

[lakerfreak]

I saw this coming. Its too much money at this point, but I would have kept him over Josh Powell.

[lakerfreak]

Anyone know if Mbenga is staying?

He had an option that got picked up. Hes here for at least 1 more year. He's pretty underrated if you ask me.

[TryToBeUnbias]

I saw this coming. Its too much money at this point, but I would have kept him over Josh Powell.
:wtf:

[DECK]

He was ****ing terrible.
LOL WITHOUT HIM LAKERS ARE DONE.. :lol

[Interminator]

Didn't some Lakers fan call him a 6'9 Chinese Magic Johnson.:oldlol:

At 6'9 with ballhandling ability he would thrive back home in China or in Europe for that matter. From what I read about him before the Draft is that he needs work refining his offensive game and utilizing his height better.

You're 6'9, play like you're 6'9.

[wang4three]

Atleast he got a ring out of it.

[Beebo]

Send him to the raptors to complete the international team that BC is building!!!

[BlazersDozen]

Does this really need to be stickied?

[hack_a_shaq]

Does this really need to be stickied?

You're always complaining.

[shawbryant]

This will make a huge impact on broadcasting LA's game. Too bad.

[bdreason]

Houston should sign him. I heard they have an opening in their Asian division.

[BlazersDozen]

You're always complaining.

:rant

:violin:

:cry:

[boozehound]

Powell at least serves a need. Sure he wont see much time, but any FC injury and hes the first big off the bench (as of now).

[DKLaker]

Go to Phx, Nashy will teach you how to get into the hole!!!
lol @ this being sticky :lol

He has something Nash will never get....a ring!!!!

[LongLived#24]

Sun Yue is the man!

[loot]

Wasnt he supposed to be really, and I mean REALLY good? That's what they told us here @ ISH when he joined the Lakers.

[JJ81]

:applause:

[Kiddlovesnets]

The Lakers have lost the chance to repeat after dropping all-star small forward Sun Yue.

Game over, man. GAME OVER! :(

Where'd you read that and who is "they"?

[mamba24]

Im really pissed off right now...he was a chinese magic johnson...now we have no future superstars...just a bunch of role players..mitch sucks...lol

[triangleoffense]

crap, now we have no one to match up against scalabrini

[gts]

my really big question on this is why? why o why is this stickied thread?

[blinp]

my really big question on this is why? why o why is this stickied thread?
To get Chinese people's attention? I am one and this got me.
