A recap of the deals that went down and how they'll affect the NBA in 2009-10.
TUESDAY: San Antonio trades for Richard Jefferson (Kurt Thomas and Bruce Bowen to Milwaukee) The Spurs add a fourth scoring option alongside Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli,
and Tony Parker. Jefferson is a durable offensive weapon who has not missed a game in the last two years while averaging 21.1 points per game. Milwaukee clears over $15 million for the 2010 free agent bonanza.
Phoenix). The Cavaliers bring a big post presence and a superstar to play along side LeBron James.
Orlando trades for Vince Carter (Rafter Alston and Courtney Lee to New Jersey). The Magic add another jump shooter but trade away their best perimeter defender in Lee. A move that could push Orlando over the top or destroy the chemistry that carried them to the Finals last year.

FRIDAY RUMORS
Phoenix and Golden State talking about swapping Amare Staudemeire for a package including Stephen Curry.
New York
Knicks talking to Minnesota about trading for Ricky Rubio who says he will not play in a small market and may return to his professional team in Spain. Minnesota's back-to-back picks of point guards Rubio and Johnny Flynn makes a little more sense now.
