    Ok we've witnessed the power of Yao when it comes to endorsement deals for Rox players who would never get the light of day from American companies (Battier, Hayes, Scola?!?!?!). Who do you guys predict will be the first Buck to score a contract? Stars like Redd and uh Redd don't count since he's you know a star.

    My pick is for Mo Williams to get the first deal and then maybe Gadzuric.

    Redd is a second tier star which i think will do the best. Bogut is another guy.

    Yi, definetely Yi. Though he's a little more ghetto than that, he might get the Scott's one instead.

    They have to win. Nobody likes to watch and endorse losers. Worthless thread.

    if yi is going to have an international impact similar to yao, don't think it will be for the bucks.

    it appears that people seem to care if Yi is making more $$$ than being a 'good at basketball?'

    i don't think it will be mo first. mo has a reputation of being a ballhog and not passing to yi among chinese fans at the moment.
