The Goods Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) NEW YORK -- Tony Parker likes the trade for Richard Jefferson. A whole lot. "It was great for us," Parker said earlier this week. "It's going to help. That's what we wanted, is to get somebody younger, very athletic and is going to make stuff happen." The Spurs didn't make much happen in the Playoffs this past season, bowing out uncharacteristically in the first round against bitter rival Dallas. Not having Manu Ginobili had plenty to do with the five-game loss, but so did San Antonio's lack of depth beyond their triple threats. Contenders can often overcome injuries, especially in the early rounds, and move on. The Spurs didn't compete against the sixth-seeded Mavericks with Manu out, illustrating the gaping holes on the roster. Matt Bonner and Roger Mason Jr. and George Hill were nice stories all season. They just weren't 20-point scorers. Jefferson is.

OldChili Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great trade for them, but I still think they need a few more additions to beat LA in a 7 game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
