Why is he considered an answer to our shooting woes from the perimeter?
I believe the answer is that - for the most part - they don't change teams period.Quote:

Yeah, we can bitch and moan that the Spurs never sign top free agents, but 29 other teams' fans can do the same thing.
I don't know where this has been posted, but the Celts are now saying that they didn't make an offer to Maggette.

This team - as it's currently constructed - does not need another shooter (although it will if Barry goes elsewhere). What it needs is an attacking wing.
I had Corey on my fantasy team this year and he gave me steady three point production. Towrds th eend of the season, he made something like 8 three's in one game, and he had a couple more where he had like 6.
He gave me one 3 a year this past year, and that was without a low post guy that could command double teams, and guy's like TP and Manu that can get int he lane and create open shots for the perim. players.
Corey had one game in March in which he went 6/9 from 3pt range, one game in February where he went 5/5, and one game in February where he went 4/5. Other than that he had 8 games where he hit 3 from beyond the arc and 10 games in which he hit 2. That adds up to 21 games in which he hit multiple threes.Quote:

Well there goes all the hope of Maggette now that I read this...
He can't get them all wrong can he?
Its Ingram, so its possible :lol
Question...If teams over the cap can only offer the MLE, how do teams get so far over the cap and into luxury tax? Only through trades? Don't trades have to have equal monetary value? I do not get how with the rules, teams get into trouble.
Or can teams offer whatever they want to a player regardless of if they are over the luxury tax limit and just pay dollar for dollar? I am confused...
resigning your own players to bigger and bigger contracts.Quote:

Nice to see two teams spend 200 million screw to each other but to stay about the same. If we sign Maggette does that mean the Clips offer Finley a similar deal as revenge. Personally, I believe Barry will resign for that 1.9 LLE -whatever. WHAT OTHER MOVES CAN WE MAKE IN FA?
Come on Maggette, it is an odd number year, be a part of it!
