Richard Jefferson just got traded to the Spurs for Kurt Thomas, Bruce Bowen, and Fabrico Oberto.
Big addition for the Spurs. |

very big addition for the spurs, as it gives them a solid 3rd/4th option.
Unfortunately, the Bucks didn't get the memo the Spurs are heavily shopping Ginobli around to see if they can get something valuable in return. |

YOU TIMBERWOLVES.
:whip:
Foye was the only bright spot in the franchise after Al Jefferson.

So now we have the 5th and 6th draft picks at least, but knowing the Timberwolves we'll get the guys the prove this draft is as weak as they say it is. Rubio and Thabeet? Hmmph, doubtful. |

Shaq Diesel to Cleveland. It will be official later today.
He played well last season, too. |

| this may be a good trade, but also a bad trade. shaq will play his "maximum" 60 games next year, and the cavs didn't lose anyone to hurt their chemistry. Wallace and Pavlovic lost their minutes. Now the Cavs have Ilgauskas (34) and Oneal(38) to fill the middle of the paint. is this what the cavs really want? they really need a power forward who can eat up the boards and paint, not another center. Also zeke and oneal are fragile now. I don't know what to say about this trade until the cavs make about 1-2 more moves. maybe start asking for takers for wally z, joe smith, or daniel gibson. |

hmm ok.
Now orlando-new jersey has a deal going where vince carter goes to the magic for alston and courtney lee. I don't know what to make of this trade yet, because orlando could possibly be still pursuing turkgolu to come back (probably won't anyways), while as for new jersey's case, great trade, because this trade is meant for the future. a lee-harris-lopez combination is not bad at all. i think lee can thrive in lawrence frank's system.
//edit
seems ryan anderson is part of the deal along with carter. i have changed my mind. an excellent trade for orlando and new jersey. i have questions about carter's motivations and how he will hurt team chemistry. then again, if artest was fine in houston, maybe carter will be a good boy in orlando, and won't be a chemistry buster. i like ryan anderson's energy, and is another big guy who can shoot the 3. he can give orlando a good 15-20 minutes a game, maybe 25. |

Vince Carter was a decent addition for the Magic. Turkeyman is also out of Orlando, so it kind of evens itself out.
Spurs made a great trade actually. I'm not sure if they will let Ginobliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii go. |
