NETS TRADE JEFFERSON TO BUCKS FOR YI AND BOBBY SIMMONS!

[Narcist]

New jersery could have gotten more then this.. they just wanted a high potential rookie to create some cap space...I dunno I guess you guys are going for a major rebuild know doubt now. Going be a long season though.

[M.Balla]

And all you guys wanted to swap Jefferson for Melo?

LOL

If you had the comprehension of a five year old, you'd be able to remember most of us believed it was more for financial reasons on the Denver side than talent for talent.

If you... bla bla... would realize that you were just dreaming out loud. Have fun with Yi.

Thank you for proving my point.

I really enjoy that 99% of NBA fans have the IQ of a car door.

Salary reasons how? If Jefferson only earns a millie or two less than Melo? Is that big savings for Denver??? 2 frikkin millions a year so we can trade All Star Starter Melo (23) for Jefferson (28)? Plus their contracts have the same length (Melo has one more year, but it's players option)...

Carmelo Anthony
$14,410,581

$15,779,912

$17,149,243

$18,518,575 (Player option)

Richard Jefferson

$13,200,000

$14,200,000

$15,000,000

Please explain me, because, even thought, I'm an A+ Graduate I cant compete with the brilliant minds of New Jersey's forum who see in this swap "FINANCIAL REASONS"...

Don't be mad at me, be mad at your GM because you just traded for a bust.

[M.Balla]

Damn! And if Gallinari falls to your lap, that's two busts the same night... You guys have to thank God for New York!

Um..how about the rumored trade included Carmelo AND Camby? With those two gone, AI would've opted out this summer. Calculate your numbers again.

I'm terribly sorry. Forgive me that I didn't think much of your degree at the Happy Flowers Preschool Center. I'm so sorry.

Don't be mad at me, be mad at your GM because you just traded for a bust.

Yes, after one year in the league, we shall call him a bust. Seriously, quit while you still can hold back some tears for making yourself look like a fool here.

[old skool]

Yi is not a bust. Not yet. He could develop into a star. He has some great skills, but is far from being a complete player. He seems confused a lot on both sides of the ball. Physically he is impressive. A great leaper with a solid trunk. Unfortunately, he plays offense like a SF but is too slow to play SF on defense. He cannot go to the basket unless there is a clear path. He is at least another year away from being able to justify the loss of Jefferson.

Simmons might turn out to be the better player of the two - albeit at a high salary. He looked much better at the end of the year. He looked thinner and quicker. More like he did in 2004-05 when he was the Bucks second best player on a marginal playoff team.

Hey Nostradamus do me a favor and tell me what the winning numbers for the lotto are.

Good luck in tonight's draft. Oh yeah...you don't have a pick again. Well good luck in mediocrity in the West. You'll have a great time staying at the 8th seed with teams like Golden State and Portland on your back. At least Nets have direction now and are rebuilding.

[jeff1624]

ahh yi, wonder what enetric thinks about the trade. I remember he was real high on yi before he got drafted.

The real question is, by adding Yi do we really need to draft a big this year?

We have boone, Sean, Swift and now yi. Pretty certain Krstic is going to be offered the qualifying deal which he'll accept. Wonder what Thorn is planning to do tonight.

Man I love the draft...

[netsforever]

Dirk Year 1, Age 20: 20 mpg, 8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 40% FG

Yi Year 1, Age 20: 25 mpg, 8.6 ppg, 5 rpg, 42%

Yeah, he's totally a bust.

[Relentless88]

I actually like this trade for the Nets. Yi will be a really good player, better than RJ in a few years.

[M.Balla]

Dont know about the lotto... Gallinari and Yi are busts. You can quote me, next year, in two years, whenever, mark my words. BUSTS.

And NetsForce, knowing you as I know you, you have probably bashed Yi right and left.

To the american teen with reading comprehension problems: I was talking about the Melo-Jefferson swap. That means, that you trade Carmelo straight up for Richard Jefferson. Camby would probably be stealing rebounds from teamates or letting his man take open jumpshooters, but he is not on the Melo-Jefferson swap. There's no Camby on it.

Denver has a lot of problems, I'll give you that. They don't have a pick... but what? We didn't sell it for cash, we will get the pick on another year. Nobody can contribute right away, Karl wouldn't play a rookie, and we're in "Win-Mode" now, so we save the pick for the next year (or the year after, or the year after...) where we maybe will have to rebuild.

And damn, if your direction is Gallinari and Yi:

Oh know you're right I don't really like Yi, I thought he was overrated when drafted and his age really concerns me (probably more than it should). I just don't think Gallinari is going to be a bust, it's easy to call him one thanks to Andrea Bargnani giving Euros everywhere a bad name, but Gallinari is a fiery competitor, and that's something you can't really teach.

[mack69]

What is going on here!!!!!!!!!

Did this mean that league is not high on RJ?

This all we can get for who scored 20+ last season.

[Serpo]

Our direction is trade an overpaid 2nd-3rd guy that RJ is for Capspace in a year we plan to use it . Getting a bigtime prospect from China ( $$$$$$ inc. ) makes it even better.
