The Los Angeles Clippers took on some salary in a draft-night deal in June 2000, acquiring Corey Maggette, Derek Strong and the rights to 10th overall pick Keyon Dooling from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a first-round pick in 2006.

Maggette turned out to be more than just a salary dump, becoming a solid scorer for the Clippers over much of the next decade.
