New Jersey Nets send :
Richard Jefferson

Milwaulkee Bucks send :
Yi Jianlian
Bobby Simmons

I also think that there's a player to be named later to be involved in the trade as well. I guess Yi got his wish, he's in a bigger market now.

Hmmm. If this is really done then good deal for both teams. RJ will be the main focus in Milwaukee. I think he will explode this year for them.

Mo Williams
Richard Jefferson
Mason
Villanueva
Bogut

Not too shabby....

Yi I'm not a fan of but he will provide some inside scoring that NJ desparatly needs right now.

Bobby Simmons is just a toss in.

Kiki Vandeweghe, New Jersey's new general manager alongside team president Rod Thorn, is a longstanding Yi fan who has frequently likened the 7-footer's perimeter skills and potential to Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki.

HaHa. I really don't see Yi being the next Dirk.... But we shall see. He should turn into a nice solid player for the Nets.

**SouthernWebb04** · 06-26-2008, 03:27 PM

Yeah, I don't see that happening. But I guess you never know, Yao didn't look very impressive when he was drafted, and he's turned into a pretty great center.

**cruzg24** · 06-26-2008, 03:29 PM

Everyone loves to compare young foreign players to Dirk....... There is only 1 Dirk Nowitzki and it will always be that way.

Now we've got money in the bank.

**cruzg24** · 06-26-2008, 04:15 PM

damn i feel this is a bad trade for the nets.

**Chubz** · 06-26-2008, 05:00 PM

i would have traded VC

well i think this trade really puts the nets in "rebuilding" mode...they will try to set up a team around yi and VC...i guess we wil see how it pans out....Jay Z should suit up...haha

Crono139 · 06-26-2008, 05:40 PM

I still wonder how the Nets are going to handle tonight's draft.

Canadaleaf · 06-26-2008, 05:58 PM
