Re: Yi Jianlian
Probably for a small contract. We have our new Rob Sacre!

Re: Yi Jianlian

Re: Yi Jianlian
Haven't signed Ingram
Young is still on the team
and we're about to sign trash.
Thank god it's Mitch and Jims last summer here. Help is on the way folks.

the hell does not signing Ingram and Young still being on the team before training camp even starts even matter

Re: Yi Jianlian
Worth a one year tryout.
Assuming he is a PF who could see minutes at C these days.
Randle, Deng, Nance, and much improved Yi would be nice depth.
We know he can open up the floor and did a lot of that in the Olympics. Not sure what kind of D he plays or how is passing is, but I would think he's a big improvement over Kelly worst case.

If only he had Kobe's work ethic. Yi has very great tools and skills, however, work ethic is as poor as you get.

Re: Yi Jianlian
This is a very low risk/high reward move for us. I don't see any reason to not be all for it.
This would be a good signing for us. If he sucks, he'll ride the bench and we still bring in the revenue generated from the market Yi will attract. If he's decent, he could be a nice trade piece or become part of our core.

Re: Yi Jianlian
low risk and no one outside of our coaching staff will expect anything from him anyway. he looked nice in his highlight video though
