They got rid of Bad p*rn. There is nothing better than that for your team. The Bucks will be a lot better just for that reason alone. The fact that they got an actual living player in return is a bonus. I would have traded the #7 and Maggette for current Steve Francis.
trying to think of their roster uridh can be a good backup for jennings jackson actually can instill toughness and leadership on that team maggette was just a mistake they were able to remedy not sure on the length of contracts for everyone i dont think they made out too bad whoever they were hoping to get i guess they werent able to get at 10 so the other guys they may have looked at may have been in high teens/early 20s anyway.
True. Don't get me wrong, the Bucks did just rid themselves of one of the bigger losers in the league, so yeah, good points.
After sitting down and reading the contracts of the players MIL acquired, it's not a bad deal for them. SMH @ YOU though, Sac-town.
I think if this trade goes through, the Bobcats could be inclined to shop #7 and #9 to Utah for its #3 or Cleveland for its #4? Cho and MJ are definitely cleaning house.
People already wondering on twitter..."is this to try and see if they can move up..." Cleveland would be who I call 1st...they want 3 lottery picks BAD.
Doubtful we can get 7 or 9. This signals Charlotte is going into full rebuild so they won't be interested in any of our players. Bucks were a better trading partner for us since with a healthy Bogut they might want to add veterans. But now they have nothing we want.

I think they can ship out Maggette and Diop with the #9 for a future 1st and filler. That would cut a LOT of salary from the Bobcats' roster

The most frustrating part about that is the Kings need a ball distributor, not another shoot-first combo guard. But, hey, if the Kings want to torpedo their team who am I to judge.
