The Nets have traded 22-year old power forward Yi Jianlian to the Washington Wizards for 29-year old SG/SF Quinton Ross. Yi played in 52 games (51 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 31.8 minutes, 12.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game. In two years with the Nets, Yi played in 113 games (103 starts) in which he averaged 27.2 minutes, 10.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Quinton Ross played in 52 games (7 starts) for the Wizards & Mavericks last season and he averaged 10.8 minutes, 1.8 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. He has now played in 422 games (165 starts) in his six years in the NBA and he has averaged 19.2 minutes, 4.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The Nets don’t expect much out of Ross. They made this trade to clear up cap space for free agency as on the surface they got ripped off.
