Milwaukee already has Australian star Andrew Bogut and Charlie Villanueva handling the inside work but Harris, in the final year of his contract with the Bucks, might keep them all or trade one of the others to make room for Yi.
Philadelphia 76ers general manager Billy King tried to make a draft-night deal to land Yi and has said he intends to continue trying to make a deal for a big man, likely either Yi or Chicago pick Joakim Noah.
"We had a lot of discussion with Philadelphia as well as other discussions," Harris said. "At the end of the day, we really felt, instead of moving back and doing some other things, this was the best decision for us."
A front-line with Bogut at center and planked by Yi would make the Bucks formidable as they try to work their way back into the NBA playoffs.
"He fits perfect," Bucks player personnel director Dave Babcock said. "He can stretch the defense. He'll rebound. He runs the floor. He can really pass it. He needs to get stronger in the upper body but how much better is he going to be when he does? He and Bogut can play off each other. It's a good fit."
Yi would also be a formidable marketing force, bringing global exposure and huge souvenir sales for the Bucks.
"I don't know if I comprehend the magnitude of it," Harris said. "The Bucks will be global now. I'm sure they will try to televise as many games as they can (in China). Chinese basketball is huge and it's growing.
