He can fill a need but its hard to gauge how good players really are by watching them in the CBA. You know how awful our defense was last year? Well in the CBA its much worse.
Yi is a solid player. Ryan Kelly is nowhere near him in skill level.
I think Yi is making too much money in China though.
If some team in China is willing to give him $3.2 million/yr for the next 5 years, he would be dumb to come back to the NBA to play for 800k which was what he was making with the Mavs in 2012. Don't forget he's probably getting major minutes in the CBA versus being a benchwarmer in the NBA.

Mudiay is an up and coming player though, he skipped college so he could turn pro and get paid. Somebody like Yi Jianlian is a known commodity because of their past play in the NBA.
I'd rather sign SUN YUE, the CHINESE MAGIC JOHNSON
Yue, Jianlian and also Yao Ming who comes back in a Portland Sabonis-like role for the Lakers.
This needs to happen.
You've got to include the CHINESE RON ARTEST!
Wait a minute......
I can't stop looking at those shoes!
I just love those really cute shoes. And I notice that he's playing pretty good basketball. I love the shoes but more than that he is wearing my husbands second favorite number 37 (his favorite is 17 for a different reason). Cool Hand Luke's number was 37 in case you didn't know.
