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.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
