With the NBA Draft looming, teams are working to start trying to shuffle some players and hopefully work some magic for next season. Yesterday several NBA teams were discussing trades and trying to work out deals. Looks like the Spurs, Bucks and Pistons already have pulled the trigger on at least one trade, sending Richard Jefferson to San Antonio and creating a cascade of other moves:
A Bucks official with knowledge of the deal says Milwaukee plans to trade scoring forward Richard Jefferson to the San Antonio Spurs for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto.
The official said Tuesday, in another move, the Bucks would send Oberto to Detroit for forward Amir Johnson.
The person confirmed the pending trade to the Associated Press and requested anonymity because the deal is not official until a call later Tuesday.
The trades will give the Bucks more financial flexibility, the Spurs a proven scorer and Pistons a veteran big man at a lower cost than Johnson.
