RealGM is reporting there is no timetable for return (sprained MCL). Ouch.

As down as I had been on Yi in the past, I had thought he was improving and the fact is we have NO ONE who can play any reliable minutes at the 4.
We are truly sunk.
Rod needs to make a trade ASAP. Nothing too brash, just trade a reliable expiring like Hayes for a reliable expiring like Kurt Thomas.
I said I could care less about wins and losses this season, but we are going to be literally unwatchable and that I cannot take.

I don't see the similarity at all.
I think Rodney Rogers or even Rashard Lewis are good comparisons, even Donyell Marshall.

To clarify I meant Yi is compariable to AK47. Has all the ability in the world but isn't very consistant.


AK47 used to be a top 10 fantasy player for like 5 straight years. Hell he was one of the only players that had a shot at a quadruple double every night. Honestly, I don't know what happened to him. He lost the first. But if you're gonna say AK47 is inconsistent you have to say "Post-2007 AK47" because he was nuts before then. I'm serious too. I won't respect your argument unless that is how you refer to it.

Either way, AK47 will be on the Nets when his contract is up. He's Prokhorov's boy.

Like Gerald Wallace, Kirilenko is much more effective playing PF than he is playing SF. Also like Gerald Wallace when playing PF Kirilenko's body can't take the pounding of an 82 game season.
