Bucks acquire Maggette from Golden State
Basketball Betting Lines
06/22/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired forward
Corey Maggette from the Golden State Warriors for guard Charlie Bell and
center Dan Gadzuric.
The Bucks also picked up the 44th selection in the 2010 draft as part of the
exchange. The NBA Draft is set for Thursday, June 24.
Maggette is a veteran of 11 NBA seasons and recently completed his second year
with the Warriors by averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 70
games, 49 of those starts.
The Duke product shot 51.6 percent from the field and averaged 29.7 minutes
per game. The 6-foot-6 former first-round draft pick was one of five NBA
players to average double figures in scoring, shoot 50 percent from the field
and 80 percent from the free throw line in 2009-10. His 7.9 free throw
attempts per game ranked seventh in the NBA. He's reportedly owed close to $31
million over the next three years.
In 710 career contests, including 432 starts, the 30-year-old Maggette has
posted 16.6 points per game, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 45.8
percent from the floor. Maggette spent his first pro season with Orlando
before playing the next eight years for the Clippers.
"Corey has been a consistent scorer throughout his career," said Milwaukee
general manager John Hammond. "He shoots a solid percentage from the field and
has shown the ability to get to the free throw line. We're looking forward to
having him in a Bucks uniform."
Bell completed his fifth season with the Bucks this past year, posting 6.5
points, 1.5 assists and 1.9 rebounds over 22.7 minutes per game. He shot 36.5
percent from three-point range on 73 long distance makes in 71 games (39
starts).
The 6-foot-3, 31-year-old has participated in 357 career NBA contests, making
137 starts and averaging 8.9 points, 2.4 assists and 2.2 boards while shooting
36.2 percent from beyond the arc. The Michigan State product appeared in seven
games split between Dallas and Phoenix his rookie year before spending the
next three years playing overseas.
Gadzuric has played through a plague of injuries since inking a six-year, $36
million contract in 2005. The deal concludes next season when he is due $7.2
million. He was limited to 32 games last season and averaged 2.8 points and
2.9 rebounds.
The 6-foot-11 product of UCLA garnered the extension after averaging 7.3
points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in starting 81 games during the
2004-05 season. Those remain his career-best efforts in scoring and
rebounding, having spent his entire eight-year pro tenure in Milwaukee.
"Charlie and Dan are two high-character veterans who can provide us with some
of the intangibles that we need on our squad," said Warriors general manager
Larry Riley. "While we certainly wish Corey well and thank him for his
outstanding contributions the last two years, this will help alleviate a log-
jam that we have at small forward and, more importantly, power forward, where
we expect both Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph to return from injuries and
play an increased role on our team next season."
