Everybody is clear that Yi can choose NOT to go,

but he can't play for anyone else, if bucks doesn't trade him. So, he has to either go back to CBA or stay at home for a year. Only question is, market potential is way bigger than his actual ability, is there anyone else willing to choose him if he re-enters the draft next year after this drama? Will there be any rule change because of this? Will he still be taken first round if everything goes well, and he will NOT have a guaranteed contract?

Those are all open questions, none of them really looks in favor of Yi. How's that the best for Yi? That is just mind-boggling.

What is best for Yi under the current circumstance, is totally different than what Yi wants, or what others think is the best for him. That's not something can be solved with playing the card of ethnicity. Team Yi are working like crazy to strike a good deal for Yi, so far, no result has come out. The press is growing more and more against Yi. What does that tell you? Yi doesn't have many good options.

Yi can still continue to bluff by risking losing everything. It's easy for you to say all or nothing. Hopefully Yi knows what he wants and what's at stake. There is no noble or evil motives behind this whole thing, strictly business. However, there is right or wrong for Yi's own interest, although not much right or wrong in morality, which isn't at Yi's side by any means anyways.
