Yi is a steal if you can get him the minimum. Again, just imagine he is black or white player that scored 30pts/ 12 reb agains the spaniards. People says he is unproven.. what is unproven to you? You mean you rather pay Melo 20million a year for 2 years and get 2 playoof wins? hahaha come on....

Did you just compare Carmelo Anthony to... Yi Jianlian??? :noway:

Yea this guy has all the talent in the world, and he had his opportunities... he just never capitalizes on them.
He was the 6th overall pick, dont bring up his ethnicity like that is the reason people have turned sour on him. smh

You guys don't need Yi.....you have Harrellson as a cheap backup to Asik.

And you will love what Harrellson does in limited minutes...and he's cheap.

If you don't want him, send him to ATL...we could use a good cheap backup! We're all about cheap!

I have watched Yi and Harrelson for some time now.

Harrelson is still very very raw !!!!

I would take Yi any day

Harrelson need to work on his catching skills. Hand eye coordination.

Harrelson probably won't make the roster and for comparisons sake with the short legs and arms and longer torsoe he is a young and prime Mengke Bateer and nothing more.

harrelson has a good outside shot. Like a shorter brad miller.

Yes because all I care about is the color of the skin and if he was Mexican then I definitely be all for it. Eff there overall skill set it is about the skin color
