Yi + interesting story

[mark at 10thumbs.org]

1. Anyone think that Ainge should or will make an offer for Yi?  It's
sounding increasingly like this will be a stalemate of Steve
Francis/Vancouver proportions.

Some combination of Green, Gomes, Telfair, Scal and next year's #1 (and
POR 2nd round pick) could maybe get YI + Gadzuric (who has a pretty hefty
contract, but if we could then move Scal it might be OK).

I was initially terrified of Yi, but warmed to him after watching some
footage.  He seemed real up and down in the SL but i don't worry too much
about that --- not like he was dealing with which side of the Earth he'd
be living on next year...


2. Interesting story here (http://tinyurl.com/2cyv57) that GS/CHA/MIN were
working on a draft night deal for KG that may or may not have fallen apart
b/c of phone problems.  If we don't get KG (and i don't want to give up
Jefferson for him) i hope KG stays in MIN.  Call me sentimental but I like
that he's not pulled a Kobe/VCarter.  He sees the team there as his
responisiblity and isn't shrinking from it.
