The Lakers and the NBA are taking another chance on Yi Jianlian (Ball Don’t Lie)
August 23, 2016 at 11:50 AM
Yi hit for 25 points and six rebounds against Team USA. After a few frustrating free agent chase-downs with Kobe Bryant around, and a 2016 offseason without Bryant on board, the Los Angeles Lakers have mostly committed to the idea of a full-on rebuilding project. New, "rookie" head coach Luke Walton is the team's biggest free agent signing, there won't be any agent-favoring vet acquisitions like Carlos Boozer and Roy Hibbert to help fill out the roster, and the team seems fully bent on working with the young prospects it has alongside the 2017 NBA draft pick it will hopefully get to keep next spring.
