Milwaukee Receives A Solid Scorer
The Bucks have picked up a wing who can fill it up in a hurry.
Adding intensity and buckets, the team has moved down in the draft to acquire a strong veteran presence.
According to sources, the Milwaukee Bucks have acquired swingman Stephen Jackson from the Bobcats for their first round pick (No. 10), while Sacramento receives John Salmons, switching the pick they received in the trade through Milwaukee with Charlotte.
Milwaukee also receives guards Shaun Livingston and Beno Udrih, along with the Bobcats’ 19th pick, while Charlotte picks up Corey Maggette from the Bucks, in addition to taking the seventh pick from Sacramento.
Corrected deal: Bucks get Beno, Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston & 19. Bobcats get pick 7 & Maggette. Kings get 10 & John Salmons.
In review: So, Charlotte now goes from having the No. 9 and 19 picks, to holding the seventh and ninth choices in tonight’s NBA Draft. They switch Jackson with Maggette, too. As for Milwaukee, they drop nine spots in the first round (10 to 19), to acquire “Captain Jack” and Shaun Livingston. Lastly, Sacramento moves down three spots in the first (7 to 10), and picks up John Salmons. Let the swap meet begin!
Does trading down take them completely off Brooks’ radar screen?
Moving down: At No. 19, the club can still select “their” guy in Providence shooting guard Marshon Brooks. The teams in the way: #15 Indiana, #17 New York. Who knows, maybe Alec Burks falls out of the lottery. Either way, they are still in the running for an legit offensive playmaker at #19. However, sources have indicated that Milwaukee also covets Kansas’ Markieff Morris at No. 19, but he might not be on the board at that spot.
