Jefferson Not Happy With Trade To Bucks?
Jefferson communicated with Nets team President Rod Thorn via text message, and the two have not yet spoken. "He didn't seem very happy," said Thorn. "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." Milwaukee Bucks, New Jersey Nets Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Cavs Nearly Acquired Carter From Nets

Richard Jefferson is not happy with the draft day trade which sent him to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons, the New York Post is reporting.
The Cavaliers reportedly offered the Nets Wally Szczerbiak's expiring contract in exchange for Vince Carter on Wednesday night, according to The Star-Ledger.
The New Jersey Nets have extended a qualifying offer to restricted free agent Nenad Krstic, Nets' President Rod Thorn announced today. The qualifying offer allows the Nets to retain the right of first refusal in regards to Krstic. As a restricted free agent, Krstic is able to sign an offer sheet with any team; however, the Nets will have the right to match the offer.
Krstic, a four-year NBA veteran from Serbia, was the Nets’ first round selection (24th overall) in the 2002 NBA Draft. Since joining the Nets in 2004, Krstic has played 226 games over four seasons with New Jersey, posting averages of 11.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. In 2007-08, Krstic appeared in 45 games, averaging 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds.
