Richard Jefferson now happy he got traded to the Milwaukee Bucks!

He's smiling now but will he be smiling come the first week of the season?

The second-leading scorer in Nets history was surprised by the trade.

"I didn't know anything was going on and then the next thing I know my phone didn't stop ringing for about a week," he said. "When this happened I was upset, but after calming down and evaluating everything I became excited."

New York Knicks get Chris Duhon, ex Chicago Bull...Marbury done as a Knick?

Chris Duhon has reached a verbal agreement with the New York Knicks on a 2 year contract.

Duhon

"The chance for Chris to be a starter was too much to pass up," Duhon's agent, Kevin Bradbury.

Duhon had also been talking with the Orlando Magic. Bradbury said the Magic never offered Duhon a contract.

Bradbury said the Knicks have made it clear that Duhon could start, which could mean that Stephon Marbury's days with the Knicks are numbered. Marbury is in the final year of his contract.

Stephon Marbury's days of being amazing are well behind him and maybe a non all-star in Duhon might be what the Knicks need...a team full of non stars might win more games?!?

Gilbert Arenas agrees to less money by signing a 6 year deal worth $111 Million to help struggling Washington Wizards

The unpredictable three-time All-Star point guard, in vintage Agent Zero fashion, told the Post and the Washington Times on Thursday that he has agreed to re-sign for $111 million over six years, considerably less than the maximum deal he said the Wizards offered him when the free agency period began on Tuesday.
Like the earlier Chris Paul signing, Arenas is an important part of his squad. Now if someone can figure out what players will actually help the New York Knicks win some games?!?

New Orleans Hornets Chris Paul Agrees to a 4 year, 68 Million Dollar Deak
