Apparently as per ESPN Radio trade is complete.

hmmmmm

bad trade for us.

ummm...WHAT!?

Why??

rj money owed: 3 years $42.4 mil

bobby simmons owed: 2 years $20.5

yi potential stud and makes them a TON of $$$ b/c of his global appeal.

nj's 2010 cap # will be around $18 mil...i guess that's one version of a lebron james 2010 plan...

Bad trade.

But if they send their first pick, this could be a good trade if we can send the 10 pick and 8 pick to Minnesota and draft Mayo or Beasley.

You guys won the deal and I say this as A Knicks fan.

Yi will be a stud, especially when motivated in playing in NJ/Brooklyn. Simmons is crap yes but I was never a fan of RJ anyways.

Not really feelin this deal for the Nets.

Please tell us we're moving up in the draft too or I won't be too happy.

p.s. I'm kind of against this deal, but don't sell Simmons short. He's had some injuries the past couple seasons but is a solid starter. He was great for the Clippers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a #8 and #10 swap here...

I don't any picks are being exchanged here, unless you swap 8 for 10. I think you guys win this trade, Yi is going to be incredible, mark my words.

Now with all that said and done, since you're rebuilding and all. . . GIVE TORONTO BACK VINCE CARTER.

Someone find a link. I can't find one anywhere and I can't believe we moved RJ without even moving up 2 spots if this is true.

Kind of on the fence on this one. i'll comment some more if it's officialy announced.

It's all about marketing. Yi helps make the Nets/Brooklyn franchise a global brand - which will also appeal to LeBron James in a couple years time. And that's not even taking into account that Yi has a ton of potential on the court himself.

I love draft day.

out of curiosity, would you guys have preferred a bargnani + anthony parker (expiring) package from toronto?

I LOVE this time of the year.

Nah I think I'd keep the deal we made. I love Anthony Parker though.

Simmons is solid. People knock him for his injury problems. Look at his stats when he was a starter on the Clippers. He is solid.

I'm just hoping we can move up to 5 with Memphis and take Love. This also does open the door more for Dano too though.
