The Spurs finally got some scoring punch. The Spurs needed to make this move and RJ needed to get out of Milwaukee. The man pictured is Kurt Thomas, dead weight to make the deal work. Thomas is a mean hooper but he's gettin up in age and the last thing the Spurs need is more experience.
Jefferson, 29, averaged 19.6 points in his one season with the Bucks. The trade gave both sides what they were after: Milwaukee needed to cut its payroll, and the Spurs needed and a young and healthy offensive threat after a long distinction as the NBA’s oldest team.
Exactly. It's a youth movement in San Antonio. Another player Stank-0 is glad to see leave SA is Bruce Bowen, the dirtiest player in the NBA. Stank-0 might actually start cheering for the Spurs now. RJ is still owed $29.2M over the final two years of his deal.
