NBA Trade News

Pretty big three way trade in the NBA today between Charlotte, Milwaukee and Sacramento.  Here’s how it breaks down:

Charlotte gets Corey Maggette and Milwaukee’s #7 draft pick.

Milwaukee gets Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih, Shaun Livingston and the #19 draft pick.

Sacramento gets John Salmons and the #10 pick.

The trade brings up several questions including who will now man the point for the Kings?  I’m guessing that Tyreke Evans and John Salmons could form a decent backcourt for the Kings, but I probably wouldn’t go that route.  Most likely the Kings bring in a PG to pair with Evans.

Beno Udrih’s value takes a hit since he likely moves to a reserve role for the Bucks behind Brandon Jennings.  Stephen Jackson should start at SG with Carlos Delfino gaining a larger role.

Charlotte traded away their primary scorer in Stephen Jackson, so Corey Maggette could get a serious look and be a nice fantasy player next season if he’s depended on to provide scoring.
