The Bucks have signed 30-year old PG/SG Keyon Dooling to a 2-year, $4.1 million dollar deal. Dooling played in 53 games (8 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 18.3 minutes, 6.9 points, 1.0 rebound and 2.5 assists per game. He has now played in 595 games (62 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 19.6 minutes, 7.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This was a solid signing for the Bucks as Dooling is a good bench guard.
The Bucks have acquired 23-year old power forward Jon Brockman from the Kings for 24-year old power forward Darnell Jackson and a future second round pick. Brockman played in 52 games (4 starts) as a rookie last year with the Kings and he averaged 12.6 minutes, 2.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Brockman is a very solid rebounder and the Bucks got him at a nice discount price. Jackson played in 28 games (0 starts) for the Bucks and Cavs last season and he averaged 4.4 minutes, 0.8 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. This was a outstanding trade for the Bucks.
The Bucks have signed 28-year old power forward Drew Gooden to a 5-year, $32 million dollar deal. Gooden played in 70 games (33 starts) for the Clippers & Mavericks last season in which he averaged 25.1 minutes, 10.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He has now played in 580 games (429 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 27.7 minutes, 11.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The Bucks have really improved the roster for the 2010-11 season and I love this signing for them as Gooden is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He could be a threat to average a double-double for the Bucks this season as their starting power forward.
The Bucks have acquired 23-year old shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts from the Nets for a 2nd round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Douglas-Roberts played in 67 games (38 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 25.8 minutes, 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He has now played in 111 games (41 starts) in his two NBA seasons and he has averaged 20.8 minutes, 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. This was another solid move for the Bucks who got Douglas-Roberts while keeping all four of their draft picks for tomorrow’s NBA Draft.
The Bucks have acquired 30-year old SG/SF Corey Maggette and the 44th overall pick (2nd round) in the NBA Draft Thursday Night from the Golden State Warriors for 31-year old SG Charlie Bell and 32-year old C Dan Gadzuric. Maggette played in 70 games (49 starts) for the Warriors last season and he averaged 29.7 minutes, 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He has now played in 710 games (432 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 29.3 minutes, 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. Maggette will give the Bucks another weapon on offense which they so sorely need. Charlie Bell played in 71 games (39 starts) for the Bucks last season and he averaged 22.7 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Dan Gadzuric played in 32 games (6 starts) for the Bucks last season and he averaged 9.8 minutes, 2.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The Bucks’ GM probably had a ski mask on when he made this trade as he stole Maggette from the Warriors.
