One year after handing Mo Williams to the Cavs on a silver platter, the Bucks will do it with Richard Jefferson to the Spurs. Make no mistake about it, it is a salary dump. The Spurs will find a way to get Bruce Bowen back.The San Antonio Spurs are nearing completion on a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks for forward Richard Jefferson, league executives told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday.
The proposed deal would have the Spurs send veterans Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto 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.
Hmm, I wonder why no front office executive has responded with an "Are you f***ing me?" (I'm looking at you, Gregg Popovich.)
