The 2011 NBA Draft is less than three hours away and word out of the Twitterverse is that the Kings have made a trade that includes the seventh overall pick, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Charlotte Bobcats. In reviewing what Chad Ford and Adrian Wojnarowski have to say, there is still a little bit of confusion about the moving parts in this deal. According to Ford, the deal would be as follows:
Sacramento Kings
No. 10 pick
John Salmons
Milwaukee Bucks
No. 19 pick
Beno Udrih
Stephen Jackson
Shaun Livingston
Charlotte Bobcats
No. 7 pick
Corey Maggette
Even as I'm typing this, Wojanrowski is not sure about the inclusion of Salmons in the trade. At this point it's safe to say a deal has gone down, but now it's just a matter of getting all the names and pieces that are involved in this move. A quick look at Sactown Royalty responses to the trade are a combination of dismay, shock, and downright rage. We'll keep an eye on this developing story as it would shake up the top of the draft.
