Maybe it's salary induced the RJ deal?
What's his contract look like/is he up for a new deal?

The Nets/Yi
Rick Bucher just reported it. Still waiting on a link.

RJ has a big contract, thats part of a reason the Nets were looking to move him (because of the future or if their looking for a big move now).
08/09- A little over $13 mill
09/10- A little over $14 mill
10/11- $15 mill
the nets are definitely making their move for the italian by moving rj.
for dudes saying they could've got more, i think this is a pretty good deal. yi is gonna be a great player, better than rj will ever be, plus there's probably a pick headed to new jersey. if not, i still think it's a good trade on both sides.
The only reason im not knocking this trade now, & i've said it a couple times already, is im pretty sure we got something else planned. RJ> Yi Im not sold on him yet, he's still unproven & RJ gave a lot to this franchise & is still a great player. We'll see what happens though.

I'll give you the potential to be a better point guard...but as far as flat out scoring you're out of your mind if you think Bayless is better. How many times you seen Gordon play honestly? Before the wrist injury dude was averaging 25

Gordon was killin dudes early in the year, but to me he never looked like a PG... 6'3" shooting guards FTL.
03:07 PM: RUMOR: Memphis is in talks about a trade that would send the No. 5 pick to New Jersey for the No. 10 pick and a future first-round pick, according to ESPN.

That might the most athletic starting 5 in the whole league next to maybe ATL but there's a few softies in there...

Good looks on that info.
I knew that wasn't then end of that. Lets see how this ends up.

Sorry to interject, Gordon is too small to guard SGs like Kobe, TMac (kind of a SF), Wade...but he seems like he would be decent at the PG spot. Better to be over-sized at PG than under-sized at SG. He needs to learn how to run a NBA team then, if that's the route a team wants to take.
But Gordon is #3 on my Top 3 players who could be a bust (behind Joe Alexander and Robin Lopez), I wish him the best though because he was one of my favorite collegiate players this year
