Bucks deal Jefferson to Spurs
Posted by admin on June 24th, 2009
The Milwaukee Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the San Antonio Spurs for Bruce Bowen and Kurt Thomas on Tuesday.
The Spurs also sent Fabricio Oberto to the Detroit Pistons for Amir Johnson, who then went to the Bucks. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said Jefferson brings youth and health along with his high scoring. Jefferson hasn’t missed a game the past two seasons and joins a team that has been the oldest in the NBA for several years. “His age helps us transition our team into a new era,” Buford said. “Trades are often difficult and saying ‘bye’ to Bruce, Fabricio and Kurt is a tough thing to do,” he said. “All three of them were valuable contributors to our success as well as good people. We thank each of them for their dedication, professionalism and willingness to always put team first.”
