The Milwaukee Bucks have serious interest in signing Richard Jefferson.

Jefferson is set to clear waivers on Monday after he was traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Atlanta Hawks and then released.

Jefferson has received interest from other teams as well.

Milwaukee released free agent guard Gerald Green on Saturday, which cleared a roster spot that could be used to sign Jefferson.

Jefferson played for several seasons with Jason Kidd as members of the Nets.

Unless Kidd is coming out of retirement to throw him alley-oops, I'm not sure I understand the rationale of this signing

Another great shooter next to Giannis.
Great vet leadership.

Great shooter? You must be thinking of someone else or smoking some cray shi*t this morning. I would crush Jefferson in a game of HORSE.

He should consider the Spurs.

His usage dropped dramatically the last time he went to SA. He went from almost-all-star to roll player in one summer. It was the beginning of his end. If his usage dropped that much again he would be in negative numbers.

Everyone numbers drop when you go to SA. The goal of the team is to win games & championships; he probably wasn't expecting that much of a drop-off.
