Wow, I'm surprised Milwaukee dealt him.
Nice deal though, Redd-RJ is pretty nice.

He might end up ok but I'm not a huge fan of his game... I wish we could've at least swapped draft places with them as well.
This deal was probably moreso made to help globalize the Nets brand, especially in preparation for 2010 (Brooklyn and possibly LeBron?)

i like it for the nets. Bucks get a good player but the nets are rebuilding and Yi is good.

Jay Z and Bron can be friends all they want, but no way he ever leaves Cleveland. |

Maybe I was exaggerating but there's not doubt that there are marketing advantages with having a signifcant Chinese-born player on your team. And about LeBron, who knows... it's all speculation, which is why I said 'possibly'.

Yeah, speculation. LeBron is already wearing a Brooklyn Nets jersey, they should start making t-shirts now.

I mean, it's going to happen, there's no question about it in my mind. The Nets just happen to be clearing a ton of cap space, just happen to be moving to a major market where LeBron's shoe deals will get jacked up, just happen to be partially owned by one of the LeBron's closest friends ... but yeah, no way he leaves Cleveland, a team with no future and an inept management team. No way.
