Bucks Trade RJ (according to Chad Ford)

[Note by your friendly BullsBlogger, 06/23/09 1:11 PM CDT: Front-paged. I assume there will be more from Frank and Alex soon, but I figured there should be something up ASAP to get the conversation rolling. ]

According to Chad Ford, the Bucks just moved Richard Jefferson for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, and Kurt Thomas. Our long nightmare of Richard Jefferson on our team is finally over... I guess... This move saves the team 3 mil this year and 15 mil next year according to Ford. I hope this works for my first fan-post on here. I thank twitter for assisting me in the breaking news. Five words to go. Go Bucks!!!

Great Move

This is a great trade for the Bucks. Not only are we getting rid of a huge contract ($15 mil in the 10-11 season) but we are opening up cap room to re-sign Ramon or Charlie V. Then there is the option to release Bowen and Oberto which will give us enough room to re-sign both. The Bucks have been looking for a way to get rid of a big contract and here it is.
