Spurs acquire Jefferson from Bucks
It is very amazing news in spotTimothy Varner of 48 Minutes of Hell watches the Spurs like hawks watch field mice (as in, not casually, and with very good eyes). He weighs in on the news the Spurs have agreed in principle to acquire Richard Jefferson from the Bucks for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas:
NEW YORK -- Two league sources confirm that Milwaukee and San Antonio have agreed to the framework of a deal that would send Richard Jefferson to San Antonio for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto. A source said the two sides are working toward setting up a trade call with the NBA for late Tuesday.
The Bucks are sending Jefferson away less than a year after acquiring the scoring forward in a draft day trade last season for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons. Jefferson's contract has two years and $29.2 million remaining on it.
