Jefferson Not Happy With Trade To Bucks?

Jun 30, 2008 5:23 AM EST

Richard Jefferson is not happy with the draft day trade which sent him to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons, the New York Post is reporting.

Jefferson communicated with Nets team President Rod Thorn via text message, and the two have not yet spoken.

"He didn't seem very happy," said Thorn. "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."

Will Changes In Milwaukee Keep Redd From Cavs?

Jun 27, 2008 4:43 PM EST

The trade the Bucks agreed upon to acquire Richard Jefferson from the Nets on Thursday afternoon could signify that they will keep Michael Redd in town, according to The Morning Journal.

The Cavaliers were rumored to be interested in Redd's services as a nice No. 2 option alongside LeBron James, but all of a sudden Milwaukee looks like a playoff team in the East.

After dealing with New Jersey, the Bucks now have a respectable lineup of Mo Williams, Michael Redd, Jefferson, Charlie Villanueva, and Andrew Bogut.

They also added Joe Alexander through the draft.
