On the bubble?

See the picture?

So, metaphorically speaking, people who are on the bubble are on the point of becoming very good. Or, equally likely, they will go downhill and remain mediocre.

Therefore, depending on your outlook, being on the bubble means you are in a precarious position. As all bubbles tend to bust, people who are on the bubble are also ready to fail and collapse if anything goes wrong.

Fortunately, all turns out well for World Peace. At the time of writing, World Peace is safe. The Lakers has decided to keep him.

As for Yi, the news is not so good. The Lakers has decided to cut him and let him go.

Which means, when all is said and done, that Yi is currently not very good by NBA standards.

Reportedly Yi had been looking for more playing time with the Lakers. Unable to get that, he and his agent asked the Lakers to release him – so that he may look for greener pastures elsewhere.

That means Yi remains ambitious, which is, all things considered, encouraging.

So, best of luck to Yi – and Metta World Peace.

(Full disclosure: I don’t have any actual evidence that a gong will be used.)
