The Bratwurst - Milwaukee Bucks Blog

The Director of the Chinese Basketball Association, Li Yuanwei, will come to the United States in the coming days to end the stalemate between Yi and the Bucks.

What that will actually result in, no one seems to really know.  No hinting at what Li’s actual intentions might be other then he will be ending the stalemate.

Regardless of what happens, at least the distraction that is Easy Yi will be over.

As a side note, the article on the People’s Daily Online states how people in China now think Larry Harris is a “liar”, because at some point he agreed to go to China and now hasn’t gone.

“Obviously, he is a liar, he didn’t honor his commitment,” Liu Yijun, a 23-year-old basketball fan, told the China Daily at the Tianhe Gymnasium, venue of the Stankovic Cup.

The article seems to a paint a picture that the only thing that is preventing Yi from joining the Bucks is Harris getting on an airplane. 

The People’s Daily Online clearly thinks that Yi is going to tear it up in the NBA, but between you and me, I think that’s pretty far from the truth in the short-term future.  I think Yi is going to be laughed at for at least a year before he possibly shows actual skills worthy of the buzz he is generating.

Let’s just hope that this will bring an end to the insanity.
