Cavs-Bobcats trade more likely? 4th+# for 2nd

Re: Detroit Trades Ben Gordon to Charlotte for Corey Maggette
Exactly why. Still a lateral move.. Maybe Charlotte clearing more SF spot for MKG? Originally Posted by shortsoptional

I'll take a protected 1st :) I guess we're not going with Beal.

I don't know about that contract. We wont be good in 2013-14 I guess but that will be a big contract.

Good things that I don't see Detroit being good any time soon.

The pick is protected I think. Not sure though. Originally Posted by Rake2204

Re: Detroit Trades Ben Gordon to Charlotte for Corey Maggette
Ohhh. Yes, I read the same thing. Is there a time limit on when Detroit must give that pick up? Originally Posted by Fudge

Re: Detroit Trades Ben Gordon to Charlotte for Corey Maggette
It's a protected first rounder which I admit is still relatively risky. From what I've heard, it's lottery protected (though good things can still come about in picks 13+). Originally Posted by jbot
