Yi to Bucks: "Go to hell"

[TheAdmin]

Lebron > 1.3 Billion strong? IDK

Yao Ming can't even sell jerseys in his own country, what makes you think Yi will be any different?

Nice dunk by Rudy. No 7 footer should be able to guard an athletic small forward with Gay's height and length. With that being said, Yi returned the favor in that matchup dunking on Gay and two teammates with the AND1.

Don't worry, you guys still have Z and Marshall under contract. The future is bright in Cleveland as well.

As pathetic as Marshall is, he is still better than any big you have on your pathetic roster.

What was your record last year?

Better than your winning percentage in the Finals. But hey, at least you had an opportunity.

TJ is a joke. Sometimes its not worth my energy to even respond. Foolishness...

Making fun of the 2nd place finisher compared to the team that besmirched it's own name at a shot for Oden Durant...gets rocked by the basketball gods and gets a disgruntled E-Check.

 

[Mac]

The same team that has 4 winning seasons since 1991?

That team?

The Milwaukee Sucks?

What was your record again last year?

Hey, I missed Manny in the starting lineup of the Allstar game. Come to think of it, he wasn't even in the home run derby. Fading star?

Yea the sucks represented real well in the allstar game.

Fat ass at first dropped an routine ball. Ben sheets got rocked. Meanwhile CC had a scoreless inning and Victor with the game winning homer.

Come on Cali,Hardy had a clutch walk in the 9th,lol.

Excessive titty floppage on Prince caused that error. Definitely one of the highlights of this year's mid-summer classic.

Could Yi join Kings?

LAS VEGAS -- The stalemate between the Milwaukee Bucks and Yi Jianlian enters its second week today amid emerging details that Sacramento would be one of the preferred destinations for the lottery-pick forward if he is successful in forcing a trade, The Bee has learned.

Whether any talks between the Kings and Bucks have taken place is not known. Sacramento co-owner Gavin Maloof declined comment Wednesday night before watching courtside as Yi and the Chinese national team played the Boston Celtics in summer-league action at UNLV, and Milwaukee officials could not be reached. Yi's agent, Dan Fegan, also said he did not want to comment, hoping to avoid further inflaming a difficult situation.

Yi's future has been the source of constant speculation on two continents after the Bucks drafted him with the sixth overall pick June 28 despite previously being told they would not be allowed to attend a private workout in Los Angeles, an obvious signal that the intriguing prospect and the people around him did not want Yi to end up in Milwaukee. The Bucks took him anyway, and immediately faced a public relations problem as it became apparent the stance had not changed.

The reasons go much deeper than the common perception that Yi does not want to deal with the Wisconsin winters and live in a city with a very small Asian population. Although the lifestyle concerns are formidable, it is known he would have been excited to be drafted by other cold-weather teams and that the basketball issues are likewise pressing: the aggressive 6-foot-11 forward with an aggressive offensive game would join a roster that already has depth on the young frontline and therefore might not have as many opportunities to rapidly develop.

The Kings also are big-man heavy, with two established players at power forward, Yi's natural position. But Shareef Abdur-Rahim turns 31 in December, and Kenny Thomas turns 30 on July 25, and neither would appear to have a long-term role in the rebuilding plan.

Sacramento actually fits most of Yi's desires. It's a warm-weather city with a diverse population, a welcoming fan base and a short drive to the comfort of the Bay Area and a major Asian market. That, naturally, is important to opportunities his business advisers hope to develop.

The Kings' style of play also would be an attraction, or at least the style of uptempo play new coach Reggie Theus says he hopes to install. Yi is known for his mobility and smooth shot.

Sacramento faces major hurdles, though, in the possibility of a trade even coming close to reality. Most notably, the Kings have very little to offer that Milwaukee would want. The Bucks already have a skilled shooting guard (Michael Redd), so Kevin Martin doesn't hold the same lure as for other teams, and a heavy investment in a center (Andrew Bogut), so rookie Spencer Hawes isn't a great temptation.

Beyond that, Milwaukee general manager Larry Harris said he would not trade Yi, increasing the sense of a standoff that could last at least through the summer and very possibly into training camp in October. If the time does come that the Bucks change their stance, many teams with more to offer will show interest.


Looks like your boy would rather be a Queen then a Suck,hahahahhaahhahahah.

Larry Harris is an f'n moron..

-->Yink<--

Training camp is 12 weeks away. Yi's camp insists that he won't sign with the Bucks and that the 19-year-old is prepared to play no professional basketball for a year to make himself eligible to re-enter the draft in 2008, unless the Bucks trade his draft rights.

:chuckles: That sound is the Bucks franchise crashing .....fast

Ok we heard how Yi will be better than Dirk...and will all-star in his 2nd year...and be this years ROY.

Now watch him get traded for Corliss Williamson and Kenny Thomas

TJ: SO MUCH DEPTH...CORLISS IS A LOCK DOWN DEFENDER...THOMAS IS THE BEST REBOUND PER 2.15 MINUTES IN THE LEAGUE! FINALS BABY

The selection of Yi went about as smooth as this dunk..

If the Bucks franchise crashes, but no Milwaukee fans are around, does it still make a sound?
