Nets To Trade Yi To Wizards For Cap Space

[truebluefan]

The Nets have gotten another step closer toward their ultimate goal of hitting the $33-million mark in bankroll by dumping Yi Jianlian on the Washington Wizards, in a move that will be announced in a few hours.

In return, the Wiz are sending the Nets Quinton Ross’s $1.146 contract, which enables the Nets to increase their cap space to precisely $30 million – a nice round number that will get you LeBron James ($16.5M) and a stud who can start out at $13.5M.

Victory!

I guess he, surprisingly, wasn't a vital part of the young core.

Well, it does somewhat make sense since they drafted Favors.

 

[Mr. J]

That and he sucks. A lot.

That and he sucks. A lot.

Well, yea, that too, haha. I mean, I don't think he necessarily sucks, moreso as he was just overrated immediately and hasn't been able to live up to it completely. He did put up a solid 12/7 this past year, but he did so on 40% shooting, which is god-freaking awful for a PF.

He sells jerseys in China.

Yeah, he did OK last season, but he was the starting center for a team that lost 70 games. He loses props for that IMO.
