his draft beef was predicated on the idea that: being Chinese + starter minutes == PROFIT!!!!!
see how that worked out
of course Lin has the benefit of Linsanity occurring where as the world knew Yi was ass from day 1 but how long is that going last if he doesn't perform? i don't live in NYC or Houston but from what i could tell there was hardly any buzz during the summer for dude between the Olympics and dwight howard no one really gave two shits about dude it's not a given he's going pick up where he left off buzz wise especially if his performances are *average* at best
