Yi to the Rockets for Barry and Dorsey 

Post#1 » by Ricepilar » Sun Apr 5, 2009 6:12 pm

Yi for Brent Barry and Joey Dorsey.


Why for NJ?
Yi sucks. He sucks so much I never ever wanna see him play ever again. The Nets get a decent veteran in Barry to bolster their backcourt and a guy who could become a contributor in Dorsey. I hated Dorsey in college, but frankly I dont care. Just get Yi out.

Why for Houston?
Sell a bunch of jerseys in China.

We've seen purely financial moves where teams are trying to shed contracts. Is it really that unrealistic that a team would roll the dice on an undeniable marketing ploy? I hope they do.

The Rockets are already pretty well off in the Chinese market. You need a better selling point than "He sucks" :lol:

If Sucks is a problem, maybe Dorsey is not the best target. He didn't even impress in the D league.
CENSORED... No comment.

Kind of hard to look good while dealing with planar fasciitis. I'm not ready to write the kid off yet. I just wish that they would have shut him down for the entire season.

I thought "Sell a bunch of jerseys in China" was pretty good.

If you really want to get rid of him, we'll trade Kapono for him and S. Williams?

My goodness. Is he really shooting 39% from the field?

That's atrocious for a big man.
