Richard Jefferson Now A Spur

According to ESPN. The Bucks acquired a bunch of expiring deals in the persons of Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas, and Fabricio Oberto.

My NBA knowledge is very low, but if memory serves, Bruce Bowen is a declining but still above average defender, Kurt Thomas is a declining but still above average post player, and Fabricio Oberto was once hit in the face by a seagull on a roller coaster. But I could be wrong.

Update: Had I read more carefully I would have learned that this deal was made primarily to free up space for Sessions or Charlie V, and that some or all of these players will probably never see the floor for the Bucks.

Still seems dumb to me. But I guess NBA GMing is all about managing a cap. I'll miss RJ. He was a good player for the Bucks and a class act.

If this all ends up with us signing Charlie V. I'm going to be torqued... That would be just as bad as the money we paid to Bobby Simmons, Dan Gadzuric, and Charlie Bell.
