Bucks Trade Yi for Richard Jefferson

According to SI,

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed in principle to trade Yi Jianlian to the New Jersey Nets for Richard Jefferson, two league sources told SI.com.

It seems the Nets are absolutely making way for Lebron James when he becomes a free agent. And, Yi gets a chance to play in a big market that he really wanted to. The Bucks certainly improve, but they’ll need more than RJ to be a factor in the East. We’ll have more on this tomorrow.
