R-Jeff to the Spurs...

I don't do breaking news much...but this is fairly big IMO...

• Richard Jefferson to the Spurs in exchange for Bruce Bowen, Oberto, and Kurt Thomas.....For San Antonio, this is absolutely huge.... Having Duncan, Manu, Parker AND R-Jeff gives them the league's best 4-some by a large margin and provides them with a little injury insurance for when (not if) Manu goes down for a spell while still giving them additional scoring in exchange for really nothing but role players and the agreement to take on salary AND (the kicker) he's not going to kill them on defense and with guys like Udoka behind him that have that skillset, they won't lose what makes them the Spurs.... For Milwaukee? Pure salary dump....all 3 of the older players they acquired have expiring deals after next year while Jefferson's 13+ million was clogging the way for Joe Alexander (their 2008 lottery pick).... It makes them instantly worse... but reportedly fills their goal of being able to possible resign Ramon Sessions and/or Charlie Villanueva....All that said...I absolutely love this deal for San Antonio and it makes them (going into the draft/free agency at least) the team to beat even over LA due to Odom/Ariza signability concerns....
