Re: Nets trade Yi Jianlian to Wizards for Quinton Ross
[QUOTE=Nets fan 93]So I guess if we ever have injuries Ross can start for the injured player. He is a pretty good defender if I remember correctly[/QUOTE]
ross is solid. he's a cheap 9-10 man and plays very good defense. i always liked him better than bobby simmons (i'm not sure if he's even still on the nets).

He just expired. Though Trenton was better than simmons anyway.

[QUOTE=bagelred]I think Grunfeld is purposely focking with the Knicks. I honestly do. What the f-ck is he doing helping his COMPETITORS out?[/QUOTE]
He's helping his own team- that is a great deal for the wizards- nobody is thinking about the knicks when building their own teams- maybe they think about the lakers or another good team but nobody should be worried about the knicks or nets capspace, right now that's nothing. Teams still have to build for themselves

Re: Nets trade Yi Jianlian to Wizards for Quinton Ross
PG: Harris
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Lebron
PF: Favors
C: Brook Lopez
Bench:
Courtney Lee
This is some team. A little young, but certainly can contend in a couple of years.

yi is garbage, playing with john wall isn't going to change that

Any team with LeBron is a contendor especially with a center like Lopez and a player like Johnson.
for the bench dont forget about T-Will
Re: Report: Yi Could be Dumped to Washington
[QUOTE=DouXer4ouR]Considering how much the Wizards are paying Yi this season, they really hit this one out of the park. I mean you gain a guy who is going to sell a million of your jerseys in a week, and your TV ratings will improve greatly as well. Yes Yi isn't all that great, but he's still 7 feet tall, and has the ability to average a double double. For a short term solution I think this was a great pickup for the Wiz.[/QUOTE]
how many players average a double double in pts-rbs? and you think Yi can? Nuts to you, sir

pshh... Yi is no Yao ming :violin: :violin:

Yeah. Brook Lopez would be the best big man LeBron has ever played with if that happened.
I was kind of surprised by this. I figured with the Nets global marketing scheme, they'd keep Yi and try and work him in to the system. I guess not. He doesn't really fit with Avery Johnson. The Nets are already going to have a logjam at the PF spot if they sign a big FA acquisition. Getting rid of Yi helps that.
Re: Nets trade Yi Jianlian to Wizards for Quinton Ross
Im not really a fan of all the moves that the WIZ having been making either to tell you the truth. The only good move in the past year has been drafting John Wall. To me when a team is looking to destroy and rebuild they should have at least put themselves in a position to be a major player in this free agency market. It seems as if they've just been racking up on players that teams have been trying to get rid of, but not players that would have significant impact on their future. IMO it's been a waste

Bobby Simmons is finally a free agent? God... it took so long before this day happen :bowdown:
By the way, who gave him that never ending contract?

T Will = Poor Man's Lebron
Though it is not inconceivable to think if Lebron comes, TWill will either be traded or play a Tony Allen role (which would further reduce his talents)

He's trying to help the Wizards get better, and he is doing that.

[QUOTE=brooks_thompson]wizards give butler/haywood to make dallas a stronger contender
wizards give cavs jamison to make cleveland a stronger contender
wizards take hinrich to make bulls a stronger free agent player
wizards take yi to make nj a stronger free agent player
if they didn't luck out with wall there'd be heads rolling[/QUOTE]
First they cleared cap in order to get LeBron, Wade, Bosh, etc.
Then they got 1st pick, and suddenly they wanted to develop their own superstar and therefore they just took what they could get for free, Hinrich will be a good 'mentor' and hopefully Yi can come to use.
Wizards didn't really suppose they would get pick 1, so they had to change their plan.
