    Yahoo: Jefferson to SA, nearing completion



    Interesting........................

    The San Antonio Spurs are nearing completion on a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks for forward Richard Jefferson(notes), league executives told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday.

    The proposed deal would have the Spurs send veterans Bruce Bowen(notes), Kurt Thomas(notes) and Fabricio Oberto(notes) to the Bucks, who are looking to shed the remaining two years, $29.2 million on Jefferson’s contract for the Spurs’ expiring contracts. The contracts of Bowen and Oberto are only partially guaranteed for a total of $3.9 million for next season.

    The deal isn’t completed, but league executives say both teams appear motivated to get it done.

      Chad Ford is already saying this is pretty much a done deal

      "The trade is Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas ... more coming in just a second. Deal is agreed to in principle with a trade call coming later today"

      WOWWWWWW.

          I actually think this is a good trade for both sides. Gives the Spurs a very nice starting squad with Ginobli coming off the bench and gives the Bucks 3 decent role players and cap relief for 2010. I like it a lot. Always been a fan of Oberto and Bowen.

            My thoughts exactly. Dammit.

            But yeah, this is a great trade. Jefferson really needed to get out of Milwaukee and SA was desperate for some athleticism and ability to score, especially when Manu was out. The Bucks are just shedding cap, but Oberto can at least fill in when Bogut inevitably goes down again next season.. same with Thomas.

              I don't know how much better this makes the Spurs.

              This seems like it could be another Jason Richardson trade.

              Obviously it's a video game no brainer, but when I think of players to help the Spurs, Richard Jefferson wasn't the first player to spring to mind.

                WOW. This isn't anything comparable to PHX/Richardson.

                SA isn't PHX.. nuff said.

                SC just reported it.

                SA is plain vicious right now.

                Parker
                Mason
                Jefferson
                Duncan
                Hill
                Manu

                Now they need to retain Gooden.

                Add two more bench players.. they're going to be vicious.

                    Just like i've been saying all year long, never EVER count the Spurs out or say they are finished because as long as Pop is still the Coach and Duncan is still there, you can never count them out.

                    Still got help that bench out though.

                      Haha yeah, going to San Antonio apparently saps all of your dunking ability. He's going to be laying it up soft like the rest of them.

                        Funny you say that. In 2K9, my dunk edits I don't think I have rated anyone on the Spurs higher than a 65 in dunk rating

                          I think SA's identity becomes totally different now. Their calling card will now be offense instead of defense. Its going to be really strange thinking of SA as a offensive juggernaut, who tries to outscore people.

                              Spurs actually having an athletic wing in the starting lineup?

                              Nuts

                              Will be interesting to see how RJ/Manu plays out in crunchtime.

                              Also RJ isn't a bad defender is he? I thought he was decent to good?
