Point guard Speedy Claxton has retired from the NBA.
He had a couple nice seasons in Golden State and New Orleans before being traded to the Hawks, where knee and hamstring injuries limited his ability, and turned him into a concrete bust. He'll stay on with the Warriors and scout college players.
A potential trade that would have sent Anthony Randolph to the Timberwolves is now said to be 'dead' by NBA sources.
The Warriors are expected to get a lot of phone calls about the availability of Randolph, but it doesn't sound like he'll end up in Minnesota. It's also unknown what the deal would have entailed, but either Kevin Love or Al Jefferson, and draft picks, were rumored to be on the table.

Bucks looking at Maggette...

Trade winds brewing before NBA Draft

It is the calm before the storm.
Less than 72 hours before the NBA draft, all 30 teams are quietly going about their business, making all important last-minute decisions.
But while the focus is on Thursday night's draft, a spate of teams also are working feverishly on consummating a trade or two.
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of them.
Bucks officials have publicly acknowledged they have had trade conversations with some teams in recent weeks, but haven't divulge the specifics of them.
There was word last week the Bucks had interest in forward Andres Nocioni, but he wound up being included in a multi-player trade package from Sacramento to Philadelphia.
Now there's some chatter on the NBA grapevine the Bucks may be interested in another small forward - Corey Maggette of the Golden State Warriors.
It's no secret the Warriors have Maggette on the trading block - even though he is coming off a quality season in which he was the Warriors' second-leading scorer at 19.8 points a game. He also averaged 5.3 rebounds.
But Maggette has a fairly hefty contract - he still has three years, $31 million remaining on it - and the money-conscious Warriors would like to unload it.
The speculation is the Bucks are offering the Warriors center Dan Gadzuric, who has one year left on his contract for $7.4M, and guard Charlie Bell ($3.8M).
The Bucks are also shopping veteran guard Michael Redd, who will be entering the final year of his contract ($18.3M).

I dont know about giving up Maggs for those 2....I like the way Maggette gets to the free throw line.....But when he shoots those jumpers and hes off...He becomes a problem.....Didnt he have an off the chart FG% over like 25 games last year?
I couldnt stand Gadzuric when he played for UCLA, although he was decent..Charlie Bell was running with the Flinstones.....But That was then and this in now.....And their NBA careers havent amounted to much...

Time to trade Ellis while his trade value is still high enough. Ellis is a great scorer, but don't tell me he still wants to be on this team, and he is "not" ok with giving up his role as the man. He never wanted Curry on this team to begin with, Curry proved him wrong so he had to shut up about it, but he still was right in the end, 2 small guards equals defensive liability. Ellis needs to be on a team where A, they have a big point guard and he is a small 2, or B, he needs to be the Point guard with a Big 2. Same scenario with Curry, he is a 1, and he needs to play with a bigger 2. Curry deferred to Ellis in the beginning because it was his team and he was learning to play NBA ball. but because he blossomed so quickly, there is no way you can go back to letting Ellis lead this team. Time to send him packing because he is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, believe that. He aint forgot about his suspension and being docked for pay, plus he wants to win now and whose to say that will happen here right away.
He's gonna need have a serious attitude adjustment if he wants to stay here. I don't know if yall paid close attention to his interviews after games, but he was biting his tongue to hold back from saying too much most of the time.

The Bucks completed a trade late Tuesday afternoon to acquire forward Corey Maggette from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for guard Charlie Bell and center Dan Gadzuric, according to basketball sources.
