I forgot who said Yi wouldn't play for the suns. Nooooo way is that correct. He came and watched some suns games and expressed interest didn't he? We were one of the few teams he actually showed blatant interest in by commenting about us and visiting games.
This is a good size market, the most exciting and thus best amount of viewer numbers for games in all the nba (viewers = cashcow for the commies), championship contender, high scoring (statsheet stuffing), and multi-ethnic group with people from france, cananda, and brazil.
The suns might even have been the main destination that Yi was hoping for until stern rigged the atlanta pick since he seems to hate us.
The whole thing about unavailable playing time from bogut already being on that team is one of the most pathetic fake excuses I have ever seen. Completley obvious they are trying to dodge the racism thing.
They want Yi to be on a successful, large market, contending, exciting team where he can shine. Why would chinese basketball fans want to watch him struggle in a small market with the bucks trying to get into the playoffs?
I am sure they don't even see it like that even, I am sure they look on the paper and see the bucks as the third worst team in the nba in a small market and freak out amongst themselves at Yi going to this monstrosity. Not that I am trying to say that them doing this is acceptable, because it is disgusting, but that is pretty much the reason right there.
