JSOnline blog has it up as well. I would say this is an obvious tanking move except we're probably better without him on the court right now.

I only wonder if this will hurt him in the Rookie of the Year voting.

I think his second half of the season did that.

does this mean his trade value has also gone down the tubes?
just think what we could have received on draft day for him. he tried his best to warn us not to pick him, but we were stubborn and didn't listen.

I would hope nobody expects him to be as good as Yao. I still think he will be good and a much better all around player than CV. I guess some could draw conclusions this quickly but those are the same people who say a guy sucks after he misses his first shot of the season.

sometimes, some people can tell even before a player throws up his first hairball that he sucks.. I said tractor traylor and haislip both sucked on the day we drafted them. but people said I was a fool. I got tired of saying I told you so!
I TOLD YOU SO !!!!

Yi has upside but has to get stronger. I think he's a forward, not power, but a forward.
He'd be a great third option on offense next year (behind Redd and Bogut).

He had a rookie season like many people on here predicted he'd have. I just think a lot of people were surprised that they were actually right so a lot of our fans, including me, were disappointed with his season. He needs to hit the weights, and hit them hard. He also needs to work on his post moves and his footwork. Rebounding would also be a very nice skill for him to work on. But I doubt he has any time this off-season because of the CNT. Which really sucks.

That is a good line....he did indeed warn us.
To trade or not to trade this summer...that is the question. The hard part is that I can't see many teams wanting to give up much of value for him right now......
After the first 45-days the guy had, I never would have envisioned him regressing so much......when will we finally have a Bucks season end where we have some real optimism about the players on this team?

Is Yi going the Chinese medicine route that Yao might ?

Yi only need 2-3 weeks to rehabilitate, and he said he will stay in Milwaukee until the regular season is over, so i think he won't take Chinese medicine.
I have undisputed authority on Chinese medicine... I'm Chinese, my mother has broken her right leg before, with Chinses medince's help, my mother has recovered to health soon, from childhood to now, i always took the Chinese medicine most of the time, and it's very effective. if Chinese medicine can assist in the healing of yi's knee, yi will be ok sooner.

CV is not that good either. He had a great game vs Washington, but he was no where to be found on Friday.

wow after a rookie year and already people bash him...you guys really do not know talent at all...sorry but you guys just dont....
these are the same people who said Charlie Bell and Mo Williams are better pgs' then TJ Ford, I am done respecting any of your opinions when it comes to evaluate talent.

Chinese medicine has been existing for thousands of years, it is really special and effective in most case, we are lucky to have it.
Many people from other countries benefit from it too.

The Milwaukee Bucks are reporting that Yi has a severe case of the 08 Olympics and will be out for the rest of the season.
