Charlie Bell, a Flint Southwestern Academy and Michigan State standout, has been traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Golden State Warriors.
The Bucks acquired forward Corey Maggette and a second round pick, giving up Bell, a guard, and center Dan Gadzuric in return.
Tuesday's deal leaves the Bucks with three selections in the second round of Thursday night's NBA draft.
Bell played in 71 games with 39 starts for Milwaukee last season, averaging 6.5 points, 1.5 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. Gadzuric appeared in 32 games with six starts, and averaged 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game.
Bell will make just less than $8 million for the next two seasons.
Bell was generally well-liked by Bucks fans but had a few uncomfortable moments with the team. Earlier this year, he was benched in Game 7 of the Bucks' playoff series against Atlanta for disciplinary reasons. Bell also bristled when the Bucks matched an offer sheet from the Miami Heat in 2007.
Bell thanked Bucks fans in a post to his Twitter account, writing, "Thanks Bucks fans for all your support over the years. We had our good times and bad but I will always love the city of Milwaukee."
