Golden State Warriors trade Corey Maggette + 44th pick in 2010 NBA Draft to Milwaukee Bucks for Charlie Bell + Dan Gadzuric

or at least the best we could expect from Larry Riley. The key here (along with the dissapearance of Maggette’s albatross contract) is that our new and legit GM we get in a month or so will have Gadzuric’s expiring contract to trade. Or we could trade Turiaf for something useful and use Gadzuric as our backup center this season. Bell is garbage but oh well, 8 mil over 2 years isnt horriable in comparision to Maggette.

On a side note, I think this is a good trade for the Bucks as well. They get a guy that can create his own offense and take pressure of Jennings. Maggette would be good in 15-20 minute 12 efficient points per game 6th man role.

Good trade Riley, now go draft Monroe or Cousins whoever is left for us.

We’re going in the right direction. Now, hopefully the draft continues in this manner. Cousins!!

I’m going to miss C Magg, sad to see him go but great to see the contract gone. If we can grab Cousins in 48 hours I’ll be one happy Warrior fan lol

He wants AR and Wright to play the 4. Also, would like to sign Tolliver.

OK I do (kinda). Having money off the books is one way to sell a team but at the same time having assets to make a team good you would think would be even more appealing. Maggette was not the best player or even worth what he was getting payed but he was more valuable then two scrubs and if anyone in the FO had the balls to be a little patient we could have shopped him next season when his contract looks a lot better.

And being a really bad team whose worst position was at small forward we now just got even worse at it.

Unless things change this team will be unbearable to watch next season.

There is only one thing more offensive to a sports fan than a salary dump: a poorly executed salary dump.

I have no problem with them taking on Gadzuric’s contract. $7million+ off the books for 2011/12 is a solid move, but why take on Bell’s contract and give up their 2nd round pick (that should be an early-2nd round pick in a deep draft!)?? Bell is 6’3"! 6’3", over 30, and owed multiple years worth of money! That is just so terrible on multiple levels.

I realize Magg’s contract is bad, and he is one-dimensional, but I would rather watch that than two D-League SGs, one of which is coming off of major knee surgery, being forced to be outrebounded and scored on all year long by legitimately sized SFs.

I also agree that this is sad for Riley, and I can’t say I’m surprised, but come on! Where’s my silver lining people? Should I be happy because this makes room for some SF they’ll draft? I don’t care about some stupid project SF! Jesus I don’t even want to watch the draft now. Maybe I should get into soccer…

my prediction is that maggette and jamal crawford are competing for 6th man of yr award while speedy claxton, acie law, dan gadzuric and charlie bell combine for 30pts all season

Ever since we sign him as a Warriors and Im glad we get rid of him. Then Monta might follow? Because when Jackson left Maggs is the only Warriors you can see Ellis respect and follow they even do their post game rituals together. Like doing a pitch in homerun, or the karate bow. Oh well time will tell.

Maggette was nothing but a class act during his time in Oakland. If Tim Kawakami thinks that Scott Skiles will have trouble coaching Maggette, he’s wrong. Maggette was a solid veteran presence and did wonders for Monta and Steph. He wasn’t the problem here, the problem is Don Nelson. Maggette has played for the Clippers and the Warriors, two of the most dysfunctional franchises and I would like nothing more than to see Corey go out there and start winning.

This isn’t like Stack Jack, who cried his way out of town. This is a guy that suited up and played everyday, no matter where he was or what people said about him. He was constantly booed by fans and dissed in the press, but he didn’t let it get to him. He still played through numerous injuries, giving his all for his teammates and his fans.

This ones for you Corey, many have forced their way out in the past, but you stuck with us. For that I thank you, and wish you the best of luck. Nothing would make me happier than seeing you finally get the recognition you deserve.

Thanks Corey for everything, sorry you had to play for Nellie, Rowell and Cohan.

So how many bums do we have now, Radmanovic, Bell, Gadzuric, probably resign George, Beans, Turiaf. So around 5 or 6 players who really can’t contribute as much as this team needs. We need our GM’s creativity, there are still more trades to be done, I don’t mind Mayo and Thabeet for Ellis, or maybe trading Beans for Sefolosha and Collison (I know he sucks but so doesn Beans huge contract).

For those who think our expiring contract will be used to get a player like lets say Hamilton or Prince or even AK47, I can assure you this current group are only trying to minimize the salaries not add contracts.

For months the need to get him off the books has been automatic, and now some people miss him already. It’s cute.

And on a side note, let me again mention that the 3 spot is open for HARRISON BARNES IN 2011!!!!!!
