Rod Thorn denied a recent report that the Nets are "shopping" Yi Jianlian.

"Shop is not the right term with what we do with a lot of our players," he said. "We have conversations -- about almost everybody. Shopping is when you tell everyone in the league, 'Anyone want this guy?' We're not doing that. So that's not true."
