We’re sure you’re busy making plans for your own personal contributions to the Alonzo Mourning Farewell Tour, but we think it’s equally important that you check in on the goings-on with Bucks draft pick Mr. Yi Jianlian and the team’s ongoing struggle to get him to play for them.
The whole mess has a new snag here today – Yi’s Chinese League team has stated that they’ll refuse to allow him to play for Milwaukee.
Apparently they can do this – something about having to be let out of his contract there first or something. Something something something.
“This is not — as media reports have said — because Milwaukee, as a city with very few Chinese people, is not good for Yi’s commercial development,” [some guy of authority whose last name is] Chen said. “Rather we want to find a team suitable for Yi’s growth. That’s the root of the problem,” he added.
This is a lie. The end [of post].
Actually, this isn’t a complete lie – if you really wanted to look the Bucks’ roster up and down, you’d see Charlie Villanueva, Andrew Bogut, Dan Gadzuric, and a rumored-to-still-be-alive Bobby Simmons all in there at the SF/F/C spots, where Yi would like to be playing. It’s not like he’d be given a starting role.
THAT SAID, Analysis says Charlie will be hurt, Andrew is a center, Dan isn’t good, and Bobby Simmons could actually be dead – Yi might get significant time here.
None of this matters, however. We’re not the coach, and neither are you. The point is, the Bucks need to take a stand. Promise him a starting spot and then rudely yank it from him as he walks out to the court during the first game of the season.
Then scream right in his face, “This is how we do it in America, Rodriguez! We earn it! Hamburgers blue jeans baseball Nike Air Jordan NYC Mom apple pie traffic Superman smog Zach Randolph Zach Randolph Zack Randolph!! SIT DOWN!”
Simple. Effective. Confusing. Demand a trade after that, Yi Jianlian.
NOTE: Could all this be because if you go to different parts of the Bucks’ website, it tells you different ways to pronounce Yi’s name? Just saying – you might want to get that one right.

Let me just say it – according to one part of the Bucks website, Jianlian rhymes with dresser.
I like Dan.
nice to see that Steve Francis isn’t the only NBA rookie that cries about the team he got drafted by.
they should trade him to CLE for Drew Gooden
So Yi is a they?
a what?
A “they”. He, being Yi, is more than me, so together me and Yi would be we. But with Yi and Yi, he and he are they.
Of course they don’t want him to play for Milwaukee. They should just keep going with the lack of Asian market gig. The only thing the Buck’s management has going for it is the re-signing of Mo Williams. If it wasn’t for this, I would consider the Bucks the biggest loser of the offseason. Check my Mo Williams article at http://www.clutch3.com
I swear to me, if Zo points in my direction one more time I’m taking that damn kidney back. Also, for future reference, Yahweh rhymes with dresser.
I thought he was usually pointing to that group of kids, all with plump sets of kidneys, who are sitting up in the cheap seats, and vowing, “I got next”. Donor rhymes with dresser?
Who knows how things happen, when you in the middle of rappin?
HOLY #@&$ I DID IT AGAIN
Daddy?
Now this was a great post. Some seriously good postage. These days one might wonder, is it still worth it checking Yay every five minutes? Should one go away and only return when WSM premieres? Or maybe move one’s precious attention on to another site?
And then, one’s faith in mankind is restored. “Zach Randolph Zach Randolph Zack Randolph” – now that’s comedy gold. Only thing missing was the OLE!
“commercial development”
For the good of the NBA, I will now buy the domain name: boycottanythingthatyijianlianendorses.com
I say free KG & let Yi take his place in pergatory err Minny

Very Simmons of you, Cavalier!
Jesus, get off the couch, you’re bleeding all over everything
hey cavalier: fyi, if you don’t start posting more be prepared for one holy-ass full-body possession that will result in you posting in tongues. about alonzo mourning. forever.
and, btw, god and jesus: quit your arguing. i can’t sleep with all that racket.
I may never post again after being accused of doing a Simmons. I like Simmons, but I don’t want to be Simmons.
All these non-posting times are for you. Ask Becky.
When Milwaukee picked sixth, they became Yi’s investers. But instead of feeling grateful, he felt pestered. Milwaukee knew making the pick that there would be contesters because Yi did not go to Wisconsin and let them be his testers. In fact he was in LA working out against chairs and dressers. Now after weeks of letting this situation fester, Chief Chen of the Guandong Tigers became the clearest of all Milwaukee’s protesters making Larry Harris turn from GM into jester. Now it looks as if Yi will be sequestered by all means even by berretta.
why do we have to ask Becky
why can’t we just ask you directly
Because I said so.
I’m tired of asking others why you choose not to entertain your readers anymore. It’s kind of like talking to the great wizard of oz, when really I should just look behind the curtain… or in yours and R Kelly’s case… the closet and ask you why you choose to rhyme everything with dresser.
Where’s the new bike you promised me?
