The Nets are close to moving Yi Jianlian.

They are working on a deal with the Wizards that would send Yi and cash to Washington for a player who makes "significantly less" than what the Nets’ power forward earns. Three sources confirmed this could happen.

The player could be Quinton Ross ($1.14 million) or one of their draft picks. Yi makes $4.05 million this season. Either way, the Nets are close to getting Yi’s salary off their books.

Well he'd be a clear upgrade to Ross,

at not much more money. I would be really surprised if they traded one of their draftees for him tho.

Except that

Yi’s a huge defensive and rebounding liability, and his contract is a year longer than Ross’s.

Ridiculous Upside, where developing talent and winning are not mutually exclusive.

They both have a year left.
