    Detroit has traded Ben Gordon and a protected future first-round pick to Charlotte for Corey Maggette, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    I know BG has a bit left, but I don't have the numbers in front of me. Cho taking on another pick, that's probably a big piece of his motivation for making this deal, IMO.

    only 2 more yrs but yeah its a lot of dough, but Cho's got time and the minimum salary is now 85% of the cap, so while you rebuild you have to pay someone

    not sure but I thought 85% this coming season and it maxes out at 90% following, I don't think it reaches 95%

    Cho acquiring first-rounders. When he was GM in PDX, didn't he say 1st-rounders were like currency, and it's never a bad thing to have a bunch of these stashed?

    and becomes more and more valuable as the new CBA kicks in and the value of 4 yrs of low pay increase

    They make about the same per year, but Maggette has 1 year left and Gordon has 2.

    So if you're counting at home, CHA has given up their 2013 pick (top 13 protected), while picking up DET's and POR's top-12 protected ones.

    CHA could very well have their own (the first pick?) and two mid-teens picks next year.

    As far as the draft goes, Robinson (or Drummond, if you believe in him) is still perfect for them. Beal name being tossed around is just fodder to get WAS to trade up with them.

    If CHA (or anyone they trade with) takes Beal, WAS is "screwed" into taking MKG, Robinson, Drummond or Barnes. When they have Ariza, the Dunking White Ninja, Nene, Blatche and Okafor already in the fold.

    CHA now has Kemba and Gordon. If they got Beal the kid would get 0 shots, though now Biyambo might average 20 rebounds a game from those gunners. I mean, it's MJ we're talking about, so anything's possible, but I still see Robinson drafted at 2, Beal 3, and Barnes or MKG at 4.
