Well, back for a little bit more sports talk.
Grant should be a good addition to the Suns. He's a more smart and experienced version of Boris Diaw, so it's not surprising if he ends up starting in some games. I couldn't believe the Magic threw that much money for Rashard Lewis and to resign Dwight Howard. They're probably trying to become another Knicks/Yankees.
The situation between Yi Jianlian and the Bucks is getting sickening by the date. Apparently Yi and his advisors have warned the Bucks not to draft him or he won't sign with them, but the Bucks were too keen to pick anybody else. Perhaps it's the Milwaukee weather, prehaps it's the lack of playing time with Bogut already on the team, but Yi's not too keen to play for them unfortunately.
Now the rumour has it that Yi asked the Bucks to either trade him to a more Chinese-based city (such as Sacramento or another Californian team) or he'll sit out the next year and re-enter the next draft. But the Bucks are not budging (or so it seems).
Given this saga I don't think Yi would be too hot among the Milwaukee fans even if he ends up playing for them. It could have been a lot better for him if the Hawks had drawn #4 or below in the lottery and passed the pick to the Suns, as I heard there was virtually a locked agreement for the Suns to pick him with that pick.
Today Australia lost to Iraq in the Asian Cup of soccer, and is almost set to bow out early in the group stage. I'm kind of glad that they get this reality check as there was so much fuss when they joined the Asian confederation that they'd bully the Asian teams with their English Premier League stars but turned out they're just as wimpy as the others. Another way to look at it is that it's karma payback time for our PM John Howard's actions in the Gulf War.
