The Nets acquired forwards Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons from the Bucks on Thursday, sending swingman Richard Jefferson to Milwaukee.
Yi struggled with injuries and a lack of endurance in his first NBA season, but GM Rod Thorn neatly summed up his appeal for the Nets: "[Yi] is a 20-year old 7-footer who shoots the ball extremely well, and he is an excellent addition to our frontcourt." Simmons should also be a fixture in the Nets lineup, but the health of his feet and ankles is a real question mark -- consider him a low-risk sleeper in the last rounds of most fantasy drafts.

Pacers center Jermaine O'Neal confirmed on Thursday that he will be traded to the Raptors in exchange for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, the 17th pick in the draft and a player to be determined. However, the deal is still pending player physicals and league approval.
The Associated Press reports that the trade can't be finalized until July 1st, though that seems to contradict the inclusion of the #17 draft pick. O'Neal said that he completed his physical on Wednesday, but wasn't sure whether Ford had passed his yet. Assuming this goes through as planned, the Raptors will suddenly have a dominant (when healthy) front line and a fantasy-stud point guard in Jose Calderon. The Pacers will likely feature a small lineup, with Ford leading their wide-open offense.

Camby for a $10M player exception and the option to swap a 2nd rounder in 2010...
I really don't understand this deal for the Nugs. Cap flex for Mr Glass, but they better actually use that exception, otherwise its a load of crap deal.
