    Yeah, I honestly think Jefferson would be horrible on our team. Similar to Shareef (not in how he plays, but just in terms of how he wouldn't actually fit in or contribute once here, despite having a "big name"). I'd much rather have Batum than RJ -- Batum's cheap and getting better, while RJ peaked four years ago and has easily replicable skills.

    I also don't really think RJ will help the Spurs much. I'm much happier to see them throw all their potential 2010 cap space away on RJ now than actually be able to go after a top-shelf free agent next year.

    Forget about Ramon Sessions. This is why Milwaukee did the deal, so they could retain he and Charlie V.

    This practically take Minni out of the Capt. Kirk running, I suspect - so he will probably be our #1 target now, or at least I hope he would be - over Andre Miller.

    What does this have Minnesota have to do with Richard Jefferson going to the Spurs? Were you thinking of Al Jefferson?

    I think he meant the Foye/Miller trade. Because now Minnesota has taken on enough bad contracts for them to be interested in Kirk.

    Yeah I just noticed that deal ... I've been away from my puter for over 18 hours.

    Correct. And they will also likely draft a PG there.
