TRADE ANALYSIS: GORDON FOR MAGGETTE

Charlotte receives
Ben Gordon (28-yr, 2013 projected WARP 0.0, -0.3 ORAPM, -0.8 DRAPM, 2yr, $26mm)
Protected 1st round pick

Detroit receives
Corey Maggette (32-yr, 2013 projected WARP -0.3, ORAPM -1.5, -1.9 DRAPM, 1 yr, $11mm)

Verdict
I like this trade for Detroit. Both Maggette and Gordon are near or below replacement value, so the trade is essentially a protected first round pick for $15mm. Only the top 4 picks in the draft are worth that much.  Charlotte is overpaying for the pick.
