Richard Jefferson in Cavs uniform?

Since Richard Jefferson is unhappy with the idea of playing in Milwaukee, I wonder if the Bucks might be willing to trade him for Wally and a future 1st round pick?

They did just draft Joe Alexander, who plays the same position.

Where did you hear that he is unhappy? I mean, I can't say that I blame him but I hadn't heard that.



NVM, I worked the google...

Richard Jefferson has checked in with the Nets. He is not amused. Jefferson, traded to Milwaukee for promising 7-footer Yi Jianlian and veteran Bobby Simmons, responded via text message to Nets team president Rod Thorn. "He didn't seem very happy," said Thorn, who emphasized yesterday he had not yet spoken to Jefferson. "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."

Lawrence Frank might light a fire under his ass though with the following comment.

"We looked at ourselves as a mediocre to below mediocre team and that if we were to stay this way, with the salary structure we had and the limited flexibility we had, that basically we were going to (stay mediocre)," Frank said. "So we made the decision as an organization that we were going to have to deal Richard.

and

the article goes on to say..

Members of the organization have said privately that trading Jefferson was necessary partly because of his selfish behavior behind the scenes

Little character swipe for good measure?
