From my perspective I'd say the Bucks won this trade, since I felt Yi wasn't that good and Jefferson is still pretty young at 28.

great trade for the bucks, depending if they dont make any other moves. a front court of Mo, Redd, and Jefferson is pretty nice atleast in my opinion.

So then is Milwaukee still taking Alexander? Or do they take Randolph now? And I guess this might kind of solidify Gallinari to New Jersey.

Pretty great trade for the Bucks.

I wonder what the Nets will do with VC now?

And does this mean Redd is going to stay?

Wow, great trade for the Bucks. Simmons is a little underated and Richard has given up on defense... but you put some motivation in his and Jefferson+Redd+Mo.. well there's your offense.

Glad MIL realize a Yi+Bogut lineup was never going to work out when it came to defense.

What an awful trade for NJ. I guess their going into full rebuild mode but I think they could have got a lot more for Jefferson. Is Vince on the way out now?

I'm sure the Bucks are going to make more moves. I would guess they would get rid of Redd somehow because Redd and Jefferson is just too much money tied into two players. I'm sure we'll do our best to get Kevin Love here.

I can confirm that I heard this same deal pending league approval per ESPN 1070 in Indianapolis.

He actually showed pretty well for a rookie, and he has played well lately in international work. Richard Jefferson is a role player and on the downside of his career in my opinion.
