NBADraft.net glaubt an Yi bei den Bucks und schildert ganz gut die Probleme:
Womit klar wird, dass die Bucks am längeren Hebel sitzen.

Guter Artikel zur Situation.
With China gearing up for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Yi has too much to lose by not playing next season. For Yi to re-enter the draft next year, he would have to miss the entire season playing for any team, the Guangdong Tigers included (Otherwise the Bucks would retain his rights). A lost season would be devastating to Yi's development, and in turn diminish China's chances of making an impact in Beijing. So in reality, Milwaukee holds all the cards in the ongoing situation.
Womit klar wird, dass die Bucks am längeren Hebel sitzen.
Und der Autor nimmt Yi auch in Schutz:
Yi's Chinese agent Chen Haitao has full control over Yi, and there is some speculation that if things aren't worked out, Yi's American agent Dan Fegan will ultimately be used as a scapegoat and fired.
The controversy has had a big affect on Yi over the past few weeks as American and Chinese media and fans alike have cultivated a negative impression of Yi. The public opinion is that he is being greedy and should just go to the club that selected him and be gracious about his opportunity to make millions playing in the NBA. But his decision to hold out and not to go to Milwaukee should not be blamed on Yi, but on his handlers.
In China, players are much less media savvy, many consider the media a nuisance and using the media to market oneself as American athletes do is a foreign concept. Yi has been schooled on the importance of being "media-friendly" but still has a long ways to go, and seems to have a hard time painting himself in a positive light.
