Particularly when he played SF. Yes, Rick gave a a guy who is 5'10.5" without shoes minutes at the SF
Anyway, interesting article here:

He said there are no hard feelings on either side, and that the decision revolved around his style of play.

Think this is 100% accurate. Dude couldn't run Rick's offense, so Rick played guys that could at the point. We were desperate for talent, so Yogi got more and more minutes at the SG (and even a few at the SF) spot/s, but it all came down to the fact that Yogi couldn't run the offense the way Rick wanted.
In Sac he can play next to Fox. Their offense is more freeform and simple so he won't stick out as much, and he can continue to play SG next to Fox. Fox's length will allow Fox to pick up the SG on defense so Yogi can defend the PG spot.
Seems like he was a bad fit here and a better fit there. Some people were saying that it was bad blood or that it was more guaranteed money, but it sounds like there was no bad blood and even SAC only offered one year guaranteed like we did. After taxes, he's actually earning a lot less in Sactown.
