dido
</div>
LOL you mean Ditto

or Dildo.. if it's that, I don't wanna know

</div>
yeah thats what I mean. I am not like that.
 
im not sure Yi will ever wear a Nets uni....I wont be surprised if he ends up shipped to GS in a 3 way trade with Detroit....
 
does Yi mean no Krstic?
what can Krstic bring us in a SandT? or do we let him go for free?
 
Only issue I have with this is... what if we don't get Lebron in 2010? A lot of these moves will have been for nothing. If this is indeed the FO's plan then they really are putting all their eggs in one basket.

Could be. Who knows?

That's why reacting to this trade right now is pointless.

This is not the finished roster by a long shot.

I think Yi means no Diop. We'd have Boone, Krstic, Sean, Yi. Four man rotation.

Plus Swift...but I have my doubts he'll be with the team come training camp. Even so, I doubt he'll have much of a role...
 
This is a steal for the Nets. How the hell does Rod keep doing this to teams?

Having the cap space is still a good idea.

It isn't like RJ was bringing a title here.

There are other free agents and other ways to go if the LeBron thing doesn't pan out.
 
Dumpy better change his mock draft soon cause the bucks won't be drafting a small forward anymore haha
 
I can't believe this bullshit I hate Yi so much there better be more to this trade

LOL. He finds these unique situations where a team is a little desperate and exploits that.

Sooner or later you would think they would stop taking his calls.

Yi will be a Brooklyn Net 2 yers from now. THat's the point of this trade. Book it!
 
I'm very sad to see RJ go but Its a move that had to be made.

BTW, Don't expect Vince to be traded.
 
Alexander is the next David Lee, but he dunks a bit better imo!
He is a white american too...

Looks like NJ is looking to get marketable

The only thing I don't quite get right now Ghoti assuming no other trades occur is the fact that Thorn said he wanted to get tougher. Yi, a finesse perimeter based PF, isn't going to get confused with Garnett anytime so soon. Seems out of sync with what Thorn has been saying recently.

changed!
 
End of the era for us really. Richard was the man and stuck to our franchise unlike Kidd and many others. I'm definately sad and pissed to see him go.

As for Yi, not a huge fan but only 20 years old.

.....born in Taiwan, raised in Beijing and speaks Mandarin fluently. He could just be keeping the spot warm for Lebron.

Every player they acquire doesn't have to make them tougher, especially if they offer other things the Nets need, which Yi does.

This was a great return for a player they wanted off their books!

They do have several draft picks coming up in a few hours, you know.
 
I really don't know what to think of this trade. I think it is actually pretty fair.. I don't like the idea of taking on simmons, but I guess we had to. IDK why but my gut feeling is telling me hassel and Villanueva are also going to be in the deal.
 
omg i LOVE this trade... im gonna tell all my chinese friends ASAP. FAN BASE + YOunger players + CAP SPACE in 2010. I'm pretty sure this is all to target lebron in 2010, lets say he doesn't there are many other great players to covet with our salary cap being really low that year... like wade and bosh.

Bobby Simmons was injured last season and was probably none of us heard about him... but 2-3 years ago he was MIP... so he does got skillz... he just didn't get the opportunity to really play.

as for RJ... this was a good year for him... but GM's all over the league didn't want him thinking he was injury prone(which he really isn't, but still lowers his value) and his lackadaisical defense as of late.

Yi adds more speed to our front court also

Yi can't be moved for 60 days or something if he is bundled with another player. Doubt he is moved again, as 1 on 1 per dollar, GS won't have much to offer... unless it's their exceptions (from the Richardson/Bobcat trade). But the fans would boycott the Nets so quick if RJ was moved just to clear $$.

It's just from what I have heard Yi is a charmin soft player who is pretty awful on defense and can't really bang down low on offense. Doesn't seem to sit right with the Nets philosophy or at least what I thought there philosophy was.
 
I find it funny and ironic how last night when the Raptors-Pacers trade was all but confirmed the NJN fans on this site wanted their GM to become more active with thier roster and now this trade goes down.

My opinion on the trade is that its pretty good for both teams. The Nets dont look like they plan on contending this season so why keep RJ? You guys got a prospect who could work out very well in Yi as he is still very young and could attrack a large chinese market to NJ and fill up some of those empty seats in the stands. The bucks on the other hand got a proven scorer in RJ and with Redd and Bogut Milwaukee looks like a competitive team next season. The only questions I have are about VC, are the Nets still trying to shop him or are they going to hand the team solely over to him?

This could be separate trades. We do have a trade exception.
