Rumor or fact?

per Chad Ford

A rumor or fact per Chad Ford? (it's a deal that makes sense for both teams)

Oh snap.

Welcome back, San Antonio.

Parker
Jefferson
Finley
Duncan
Bonner

I'm happy, though. The Spurs took advantage of a salary dump. Who's to say the Spurs could have gotten one of the big FAs anyway?

This is a much smarter move than 2010. You get an excellent wing scorer who is effective on both ends of the court (exactly what you needed), and you don't wait another year for Manu & Duncan to get older. I think that you should try to keep Gooden, and if you do that, you're now right up there with the Lakers in the West and legitimate contenders for the championship.

Great move for the Spurs, and Milwaukee got what they wanted, which is money to pay Villanueva with.

Wow, good move for SA. Bowen is clearly declining, I wouldn't be surprised if he retired. Jefferson gets out of the hell that is Milwuakee that he never wanted to be in. At 29 he should be in his prime and fit very well with the Spurs. They need another big man though in the worst way. I don't think they're done making moves.

Wow. If they waste the money they saved on Charlie Villanueva then I take back what I said about this being a good trade for the Bucks.

I agree with this statement.
Now I'm mad because it looked like Houston would become div. fave next year now its different.

good trade for the spurs, they desperately needed an athletic perimeter player at the 3

Projected starting lineup (Spurs aren't done, though):

Parker
Mason/Ginobili
Jefferson
Duncan
Bonner

Spurs need a big. Bonner is garbage.

sorry i had to

Even worse is that they are competing for the same guy now. If you were a big man, would you rather back up Yao or start in SA? That Gortat guy is loving this.

Likewise.

I'm surprised that Milwaukee didn't at least get a future pick from you guys though.

Im surprised you guys let go BB, but i think its a good trade. I think RJ is overrated,but i guess the spurs didnt give up that much.

Wow! From April 29th:

Jefferson would be a great deal if you could pull it off. You guys need someone with some explosiveness like that.

It'd have to be something like Bowen/Oberto/Thomas and/or picks, Hill, Splitter, etc. I'm not sure you have enough unless the Bucks are in full cost cutting mode. (and they could be, I dunno). 3+ players for one are pretty rare though.

Yeah, something close to Bowen/Oberto/Thomas might work.
