Stephen Jackson a Buck, Magette A Bobcat, Salmons a King (Again!)!

The 2011 NBA Draft proved to be one of the more exciting drafts as a three team trade was consumated right around the 7th pick of the 1st round.

The Sacramento Kings traded the 7th pick plus guard Beno Udrih for former King John Salmons and the 10th pick, which they used to get BYU guard Jimmer Fredette.



The Bobcats ended up with the 7th pick, which they used to select Bismarck Biyombo, and Corey Maggette.

The Bucks got Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, Beno Udrih and the 19th pick, Tobias Harris.

No clear winner here, although the Bucks seem to have a leg up on the other two teams.
The clear loser though are the Bobcats. Letting go of Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson indicate that they are in the rebuilding stage and it could be a long road back to the playoffs.
