Player Notes
June 30, 2008
Richard Jefferson is not happy about being dealt from the Nets to the Bucks, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Nets' President Rod Thorn said, "He didn't seem very happy. I spoke to his agent, I called him, texted him. I like Richard. He was here for a long time and I'm sure he still expected to be here. Unless you are the one pushing for it, it's always difficult when you are traded. You are going to a new place, have new teammates. It's hard at first."

Our View:Jefferson moves to a smaller market in Milwaukee and joins a team that doesn't have a recent history of contending. Hopefully he will adjust to the move, and provide new coach Scott Skiles with much needed firepower at forward, which is what he was brought in for.

The Nets have reportedly agreed to trade Richard Jefferson to the Bucks in exchange for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons, according to ESPN.com.

Our View:No draft picks are believed to be involved in the deal. Yi will be moving to a bigger media market in New Jersey, and Jefferson would be given a fresh start with Milwaukee following his misdemeanor assault charge stemming in January. Jefferson would also provide new coach Scott Skiles with much needed firepower at forward, as he averaged 22.6 points in 2007-08.

Richard Jefferson will be charged with one count of misdemeanor assault stemming from a January incident in Minneapolis, TMZ.com reports. The Nets star got into a "minor verbal disagreement" outside a hotel, and the spat ended with Jefferson on top of a man and choking him.

Our View:Yes, we go to TMZ for all our news. We imagine Jefferson could end up facing a suspension from the NBA if he's found guilty.
