The Bucks have acquired small forward Richard Jefferson from the Nets for second year forward Yi Jianlian and forward Bobby Simmons. The 28-year old Jefferson was one of the triplets in New Jersey along with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter and he should fit in well in Milwaukee. Jefferson played in 82 games (all starts) last season in New Jersey and he averaged 39.0 minutes, 22.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Look for Jefferson to probably be the #2 option in the Bucks’ offense next season behind Michael Redd. Jefferson has now played in 489 games (417 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 35.8 minutes, 17.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. This was a great trade for the Bucks as Yi Jianlian never really wanted to play in Milwaukee anyway and Charlie Villanueva is a better player than he is anyway. Simmons was thrown in the trade to help balance the money.
