That would mean we gave up Jason plus a #14 pick for a guy who averaged less than 10 ppg and ends the season on the DL? Sounds like a typical Warriors move.
What did Wright do to deserve this? He dint get enough time yet to prove he’s a scrub?

I like Yi — with his size and perimeter game, he’d complement BWright and Biedrins pretty well — but Wright+#14 is a total overpay. I’m not sure I’d trade Wright for Yi straight up. On a per minute basis, Wright was much more productive last year than Yi (PER of 17.2 to 11.3). The Bucks should really be the ones kicking in the draft pick.

I’d trade the #14 and use the exemption to absorb one of their horrible contracts (Simmons, Mason)... that’s probably as far as I’d go with that. Brandan Wright IMO has a brighter future than Yi.

is not worth both, but I see Yi definitely developing more this next season. Also, he is about two years older than Wright. If the draft is supposed to be so deep this year, why are you guys so intent on trading a potential star + a decent pick for a 7 foot tall 8ppg guy. Donte Green will have a better rookie year than Yi if he gets played, mark my words. Too much hype about the whole “asian population” thing. The dubs want to win, not sell jerseys.

I’ve always supported Yi and I would love him here in Golden State, but Brandan Wright and #14 for him? HELL NO! BWright will be better than Yi in a few years, and I actually see a star potential in Wright, unlike Yi who looks like an average player. What’s up with all these rumors about Wright being traded? Do the Warriors hate him?

At least I hope not. It’s way too early to give up in Wright. Most rumors never pan out anyway but I really hope this one doesn’t. If we’re giving up Wright and our pick, we better get a lot more than Yi. Plus this doesn’t take care of our back up PG nor our need for a banger inside.

I agree, the trade as Ford describes it would be highway robbery. Like most of us, I don’t even think I’d trade Wright straight up for Yi. But Ford has had a low opinion of all things Golden State for years, to the point that he seems to assume that anyone wearing a Warriors uniform is for that reason alone worth less (if not “worthless”). I can’t remember the last time I read a Ford “scoop” that didn’t feel like a subtle dig at how stupid, desperate, and clueless the organization was.

I’m not saying we were anything other than that for ten years. But times have changed, Chad. We like our young talent, and we think we’ll keep it, thank you.

I’m sure the Warriors do it. Yi is the more skilled offensive player and fits better with Beans. Like people have been saying, Wright and Biedrins can’t play on the floor at the same time because they’re both so limited offensively. Yi solves that problem. We’re not going to be able to keep Biedrins and Wright together long term unless either develops an offensive game out to about 15-20 feet. It might happen. It most likely won’t. So we can trade Wright now and get some value for him and a player to complement Beans. Yi may not be that guy, but it’s a possibility.

As far as this trade, I’m not sure I include the #14 pick, but I think I’d make the Yi for Beans trade. I know Yi’s numbers from his rookie season were not spectacular but he was also put in a poor position. If Yi was on the Warriors last year, I’m pretty sure he puts up better numbers than he did on the Bucks. He’d have a better coach, better teammates, a better system and essentially a better chance to succeed.

BELIEVE IT. SHEED MOVEMENT!

is no where near b-wright, left alone the addition of the 14th pick. I always flt he was overrated, and he proved that year that he was not physical on the glass and fell in love with an average jump shot. I was looking over the Yi Movement back in 02. It’s not Yao we should be mad about. Its amare. He is the ultimate nellie baller and he could actually give use a ring playing like this.

before he adjusted his finese overseas style of play to a more physical game and Yi might follow in that regard in time.

But for now he’s a slightly more mobile and athletic Bargnani.

Whats up guys, first post on here for me, so be easy kids. But I saw a few bucks games this season via League Pass and Yi looks like he can play, and I thought he was overhyped when he came out. Not saying I agree with tossing BWright their way for him, I still think Wright can probably turn out to be a 15-8 guy, but if Mully did make this trade, and Yi put some bulk on, there could be worse trades. all im sayin, he plays pretty smooth from what ive seen.
