Ben is Spurred.

I love the trade the Spurs made today.

Officially it is for SF Richard Jefferson (Bucks) for PF Kurt Thomas, SF Bruce Bowen and PF Fabricio Oberto.

It looks like Bowen and Oberto will be offered contract buy outs by the Bucks, so there is a great possibility they will be back in Spurs uniforms after their waiting period is complete.

Jefferson will add what was missing from the Spurs the last 2-3 years. An athletic swingman that can take some of the pressure off of Parker, Ginobilli and Duncan. Finley had this role, but anyone can see that he is declining or even done. Jefferson is an aggressive yet smart basketball player and he will be a great third or fourth option on the Spurs. Jefferson can also drain the 3pt, we all know Pop likes to station the 2 or 3 at the corners to hit the long ball from an interior pass or a swing from Ginobilli.

I think if the Lakers fail to re-sign Lamar Odom, this move puts the Spurs in serious contetion for the best team in the West. The Lakers are probably going to stick with Ariza, and they don't seem to be looking to change their core. The Spurs are still looking into a secondary big man to help Duncan out (Think: Kaman, Rasheed Wallace, Antonio McDyess, Gortat)

In the past two seasons, only two players have averaged at least 20.0 PPG while playing in every game: Richard Jefferson and Kobe Bryant.

I wish the Chargers made out with a great trade like this (WE NEED A INSIDE LINEBACKER)

Go Spurs!!!
