Nets to Introduce Yi Wednesday…Get Ready

[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets will introduce Yi Jianlian–and Bobby Simmons–at a press conference on Wednesday morning at the Nets’ practice facility. It promises to be a crowded affair with Chinese media from Beijing, Shanghai and New York in house. For the Nets, it’ll mean more than the addition of another player. It’ll be an opening to a new audience. For Yi, it’ll give him what he’s long wanted…the full glare of the spotlight.</div>

Anyone else as excited about this as I am?

We got rid of Jefferson and his bad contract, no defense, bad shot-taking ass; and we're bringing in a player with great potential, already a good amount of talent, fills a need we have, and who is also one of the best players for international marketing; and a good "replacement" for RJ who takes good mid-range shots, plays defense, and has a good work ethic.
