ESPN Even though the Vikings didn't get Brett Favre, the Twolves gained a super star at the expense of another. In a recent trade (that is on hold because of GM's that can't keep there rosters between 12 and 15, but that is another story) that send Allen Iverson to Minnesota for Corey Maggette, Cuttion Mobley, and YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, has the city feeling mixed emotions. "It's great to have Allen Iverson, but you can't replace the phenom that is YIIIIIII" said one fan. Yi had a Barack Obama type to him, everyone was drawn to him. The GM of the Wolves even said "Yi is becoming bigger than the team." He will be dearly missed in Minnesota, but maybe the fans of Toronto will learn to love him?

yes, YI started to develop that Obama rock-star complex (shirts with huge Yi image on front now) and it started hurting the overall morale of the team. while the trade is not yet finalized (working out roster kinks), Yi is currently passing through customs on his way to Maple Leaf country. MIN would like to wish him the best and hopefully he causes some havoc in the Eastern conference. Now if we can only get AI to practice...

this is what I call desperation for the Twolves. if he doesn't work out, i'm trading him to the Vikings to play QB
