SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Richard Jefferson says being traded from
Milwaukee to the San Antonio Spurs offers a chance at relevancy
again.
The Spurs introduced Jefferson on Wednesday after acquiring the
scoring swingman in a four-player trade. Milwaukee made the deal in
a salary dump that unloads Jefferson and his $29.2 million owed
over the next two seasons.
Jefferson said he enjoyed his one season in Milwaukee but is
excited to be with a contender instead of a team stuck in
transition or rebuilding.
San Antonio gave up Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto
in the deal, getting rid of three aging bench players with expiring
contracts.
