NBA Draft Day 2011: Bucks-Bobcats-Kings Trade Reaction

The Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings have reportedly kicked off the trading frenzy today (it won't be official until later).

In the deal, the Bobcats get F Corey Maggette and the No. 7 pick, while the Bucks get G/F Stephen Jackson, G Shaun Livingston, G Beno Udrih and the No. 19 pick. Rounding out the deal, the Kings get the No. 10 pick and F/G John Salmons.

Grades 

Bobcats: B+

Maggette is a downgrade from Jackson and Livingston, but it should be worth getting two picks in the top nine. Apparently Charlotte is high on Tristan Thompson.

Adding an extra lottery pick is a good step in the rebuilding process. Tyrus Thomas, or more likely Boris Diaw, could be dealt later on.

Bucks: A-

They shed a little salary and get some much-needed shooting at the cost of moving down to No. 19, which may not be a big difference anyway. This is a solid move, but I'm not sure who they are looking at now.

Expect Brandon Jennings trade speculation to follow.

Kings: F

I don't understand this at all. They moved down in the draft, lost a key role player and took on payroll. Maybe they'll get something else out of it. They are probably looking to grab Jimmer Fredette or Kemba Walker at No. 10.

Look for Omri Casspi to be moved in a later deal.
