    pulled this little nugget out, I don't know if this is writer speculation or comming from Devin?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>As it stands now, Harris and Vince Carter will form the starting backcourt for the Nets, with the 7-foot Yi at power forward. Josh Boone and first-round pick Brook Lopez will be at center, with Simmons, Eduardo Najera and Jarvis Hayes competing at small forward.</div>

    I'm just surprised that Yi is declared a starter already.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Devin Harris admitted Wednesday what team brass won’t … at least in public: the Nets are all about clearing space for Lebron James. “You see the way we’re structuring certain deals we’re doing, we’re definitely trying to clear space for him,” said Harris at his annual hoops camp in Milwaukee. He called Yi Jianlian “a great talent” and said Bobby Simmons “can definitely help us” but added he will miss Richard Jefferson.</div>

    He's doing some good work up in Milwaukee, running a free basketball camp for 250+ kids. Seems really down to earth.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>“I know they’ve got a lot of things they’ve been thinking about. I tell where I came from and how I got to the point where I am now. I lived in the same neighborhoods they live in and overcame similar style obstacles. I try to tell them how I did it, and they can make their own decisions about certain things.”</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>“I take about 850 to 1,000 shots on some days,” Harris said. “The more intensity you give, the better off you’ll be.”</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>“I hate to see [Richard Jefferson] go; I was probably closest with him on the team last year,” Harris said. “But we knew there was a good chance he had played his last game in New Jersey.

    “We were trying to create space on our salary cap. Obviously Yi is a great talent; he’s young. And Bobby can definitely help us.</div>
