Phew... it's Richard Jefferson. My first reaction was "what's McHale doing?!?"

The first step to a "LeBron signs with the Brooklyn Nets" news title in 2010?

[Who]

Milwaukee are drafting a power forward. Speights?

No way they part with Yi without having a replacement in mind. That would be ridiculous. I wonder what bad contract they're adding to Yi to make it work? Bobby Simmons?

Jefferson doesn't make Milwaukee any better. It's a lateral move. Let's see what they do next because if the add a good power forward in addition to RJ it's a big coup for the Bucks.

I'm kind of stunned by this, on both sides... Jefferson is the better player, but the marketing $ the Bucks are losing is substantial

[kenmaine]

Cordobes, exactly what I thought. Has McHale totally lost his mind?
When I saw the actual names, my reaction- who cares?
Looks to me, based on very little really, that Yi may be a bust anyway.

that is a great deal for the bucks, well done

Wow the Nets really are full steam ahead in cutting payroll for Lebron. Is Lebron's boyfriend Jayz going to be enough to persuade him to come to a terrible team?

Who will be the better player the next couple years, Ray Allen or Richard Jefferson? (serious question)

well they do have Charlie Villanueva, who didn't play horrible for them... I'm very nervous of Speights' NBA career flaming out....

Do the Nets really think LeBron is going to be intrigued that has lots of money to pay him but no talent at all. Or worse, Vince Carter. Idiots.

Well one thing's for sure, when Lebron becomes a FA, out of the Cavs, Knicks and Nets, the two team that lose out will suck for a very long time.

They can't draft Alexander now, right?  But Spieghts is a reach at 8.  They need a point but I don't think any will be left at 8.  Love could drop to them.  Randolf?
