3 seasons and you`re giving up? Also Harris should take some blame since he underperformed compared to last year. Yi is 25… give me a break. So far the proof given here was that some guy’s chinese friend said Yi isn’t 22… really? Nice Job… Yi played much better at the end of the year, where he got that 30+pts game. But you know what… Fine trade him, its not like the Nets are any good anyways.

This man has 0 basketball IQ, no heart and a low motor. Do you understand how hard it is to tolerate playing next to someone like that? He has one gear. As a basketball player myself, I can respect a player that, though limited in talent, works hard and plays tough. There are some players that just dont get it. Yi is one of them. Those are the type of players that you dont want to play with. While you’re in the trenches fighting, he’s just no where to be found, there’s no trust. Yes you can point to the fact that he has the potential to be a special scoring big, but the difference between your allstars and the other 90% of the league is their proven abilility to constantly do it at a high level. Yes he had a 20 20 game, but most players on any given night can do that, they are professionals after all. My concern is the extremely low IQ and constantly just getting out worked, out matched, out rebounded, out hustled by 3rd string pf or anyone else he’s going against.

[...] This offseason is going to be an exciting one for the New Jersey Nets, but before we can move forward we must look back. Over the next couple of days, I am going to be looking at the Nets who will (most likely) be back, and review their year, from what they did well to what they didn’t. Today we are going to look at the Nets’ Most Frustrating Player, Yi Jianlian. [...]

The nets definetly need an upgrade at power foward because Yi was beyond inconsistent it was very very rare for him to have a good game or if he did have a good game that would be followed by 4 or 5 really bad games, Yi would be better coming off of the bench. And yi like many other bigs is also injury prone as he only played 52 games this season!!and only 61 last season!!

Bash him all you want, the nets still wouldn’t win more than 12 games this year without him.
Yi deserves some blame but theres plenty of other players on the team that did not produce on a daily level.

I feel sorry for Yi because he always got picked on. Yes, he still has some problems such as inconsistent and bad defense. But honestly, be fair, he did make an significant improvement compare to his last season. He drived to the rim more and was more aggressive than last year. When he didn’t shoot so well he still manage to contribute in other way such as grabing 9 or 10 rebounds in the game. In terms of statistic, he is a lot better than last swason
Sadly, it seems that people only focus on his weakness rather than his contribution to the team. I saw Yi once scored 20 points and grabbed 19 rebounds and 12 of them was offensive rebounds which is something that even Dwight hasn’t manage to done yet. However, no one praised his play. But when he shoot 3 to 12 from the field in other game, he got screwed over by everyone! fans, newspaper and website.

I just feel sick when I see people try to blame everything on Yi.

Riding the pine and comming in to stretch the floor is the only way I can tolerate Yi next year and if he doesn’t show any devolpment with whatever minutes we throw his way than don’t renew his contract.

It’s so evident that he’s at least 25 that I’m not even going to try explaining.

Some players just cant get it within a season…and they may not get it until they’re like 25. With that being said, on the negative note, I have a Chinese friend who’s 80% sure yi is about 25 years old, not 22
