Spurs Expect Finley To Exercise Option

The Spurs expect Michael Finley to exercise his contract option and return to the club for a fifth season.

Finley would make $2.5 million in 2009-10 under the option.

Last week San Antonio acquired Richard Jefferson, who is expected to cut heavily into Finley's minutes. However, it's unlikely that Finley would be able to find a more lucrative contract in this summer's soft market.

Finley Still Undecided Regarding Future

Michael Finley still hasn't decided whether he'll opt out of the final year of his contract with the Spurs.

Finley's option for the 2009-10 season is worth $2.5 million.

Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said last week that Finley had given him no indication as to his plans, but he only has until Tuesday to make a decision.

Spurs Acquire Richard Jefferson

The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to trade Richard Jefferson to the San Antonio Spurs for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto, a Bucks source told ESPN.com.

The two teams have agreed to the deal in principle.

The deal will clear $15 million off the books for the Bucks next season and give Milwaukee more flexibility for next year, while also saving them $3 million this year.
