I'm listening to 1050 over the internet, and they just confirmed that "Richard Jefferson has just been traded to Milwaukee . . . so Rod Thorn is stockpiling talent."

They have no idea who are what the Nets are receiving in return, but are "working on it."

"once we find out the specifics we will get back to you."
 
LOL. How's the Milwaukee night life?

This is karma biting RJ in the ass!

..still, this RJ trade came as a total surprise. So who knows?

If this is a rebuilding team, you think VC is going to stay motivated during the losing. You may get 'sulky Vince' next year.

but yeah, his salary may make it hard to move him and maybe he's matured and will take on the leadership role.

SI.com is reporting the picks are being kept by each team and it's simmons and yi.
 
They just announced on WFAN. He said RJ was traded to Milwaukee and Mad Dog just stopped dead and his tracks and while he was giving the news report during the break and cut in.
 
Can anyone give a rundown on Yi? I don't know much about how the guys has played out thus far
 
To all those who cried "NO, we could have gotten so much more than that for RJ!" The word was out, both technically and in GM's minds: RJ was the most overrated player in the East. I think we did pretty well considering.

Good point. For this trade to go down now, on the day of the draft, there must be something else involved that is related to the draft. Get that 8th pick Thron!

dido
</div>
LOL you mean Ditto

or Dildo.. if it's that, I don't wanna know
 
The more I think about this, the more happy I am. It's sad to see RJ go, but we got a lot more than expected for him. Can't wait to see what else develops later today.
 
Yi, #10, Simmons for Brand lol? Things are getting crazy in Jersey
 
"The Bucks also retain their No. 8 pick in the draft to further revamp their team. The Nets hold the No. 10 pick."

looks like they're keeping the pick
 
per VINCE: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>and maybe he's matured and will take on the leadership role.</div>

That's what I saw after Kidd left: A new VC willing to be a leader around the kids and play a more all around game that will extend his career.
It's the first time since he got here that I believed he might be a positive here, meanwhile RJ did the same 180...in the wrong direction.

Yeah it's alot to absorb.
Thank god I have time to go by some more potato chips.
 
Basically, you gotta ask yourself if you liked Bargnani better than Yi.

It's about what I expected - a young prospect and cap relief. I don't think we're done dealing.

But, these type of deals I like better than the JO/Ford deal. The Nets might not be as good next year, but at least they have a clear rebuilding vision.
 
kinda annoyed we couldn't get the pick too or at least swap lol but can't win 'em all should be an exciting draft. Ford was talking about a trade down with Portland for #13 and Outlaw. Would do that in a heartbeat right now.
 
The Nets may very well move up considering Yi is really the same as a lottery pick in this year's draft.

I doubt they will use #10 and #21.

They also could use some of their five first rounders over the next three drafts to get an established player.

Like I said, getting RJ off the books had to happen before any other moves could be made.

I like Yi much better, both on the court and for marketing purposes.

He's worth a lot. A terrific asset to have.

Eh, I think they're on the same level at this point, with the same amount of potential. Maybe with Yi having a bit more potential...but then again, that might just be some premature homerism.
