Lakers be happy Jianlian on his way

[bdreason]

Smiling Yi Jianlian making his back to the NBA. :applause:

[RRR3]

They need a beast to throw the ball to down low now that Mozgod is hurt

[FireDavidKahn]

I hope they go after The Monkey King, again.

[bobopenguin]

Yi is living like a king in china now.. no.1 baller in china with the highest salary..
unless the offer is really appealing i.e higher pay with starting position and solid 30min, he will not come to NBA at this age and stage of career.

[AintNoSunshine]

Wow, how much help does Kobe need???

:applause: No one in the history of the NBA has had as much help as Kobe. He's not even top 20 all time without the help and luck.

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

Fitting.

90% of Laker/Kobe fans are Asian.

[HylianNightmare]

Crazy, he could bank and star at home

[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.

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...:facepalm

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.
