The Bucks now have the Heir to a beef jerky fortune.

Okay, the Argentinean back-up center isn't really a part of the frito-lay family. And in terms of direct value? This is about 30 cents on the dollar for RJ. I mean, Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio?

Outside of crippling the Spurs frontcourt depth? They win the deal. Great value for a cheap price. They can get a Chuck Hayes 4 in the draft and refill other picks that way.

But as for the Bucks? This is likely step one. They can make other moves. (Redd/Ridnour for T-Mac?) But if this move allows the Bucks to keep Ramon and Villy? Then it's a win. It doesn't matter if the Bucks go 21-61. They can't keep trying to be a seven seed.

That doesn't help anybody. You need a plan. You can't exist as a seven seed.

Man Now I'm Not So Sure About The Richard Jefferson Deal...

I'm a Bucks fan. I'm a homer. I'll admit it.

And when I first heard the news of this deal, I thought...it was a retarded Dirk Nowitzki and a shit contract for a man whom exudes above average. I thought that Jefferson's worth a good 5 wins just by showing up. I thought, now the Bucks can go best player available.

That's awesome, right? Yeah. Yeah it is. But here's the deal.

A 35 win team still sucks. This is a stopgap measure. It's a winning trade. It's absolutely a winning trade.

But I'd love the trade a lot more if the Bucks were coming off of a playoff berth.

(That's why the Raptors trading for Jermaine O'Neal is a lot better move.)

I'm going to be around the computer all day with the NBA draft. Stay tuned.
