Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the guys in black are statistically the best sports team in any of the major sports over the last 11 years :flag: but I don't think it's fair to lump the Pistons in with the Heat or Mavs.

Very good point and I agree. So other than the Spurs and Pistons no other squad has been a legit contender for the past 10 years. And we know the Pistons can't sign him so that leaves us.

The next few days will tell us alot about Maggette. Does he

a. sign with the Spurs since we have a legit shot at winning the title every year? Which would prove that Maggette is the kind of player the Spurs try recruiting.

or

b. does he take the extra millions to run with medicore teams like the Warriors or Sixers? This would show us that he'd rather barely make it to the playoffs every year with no shot at the title.

In my humble opinion as a SPURS fan, option c wouldn't exist if Manu was healthy. And yes, I realize the Celts swept the Spurs in the regular season but so did the Cavs in '07 before we beat the dog$hit outta them in the finals.

Seconded...I question the loyalty of fans who make such statements.

If either the Warriors or the Sixers give Maggette an $8-10 million dollar contract between 3-5 years he will take it. Money first, championship second. Don't believe a word he says. He's going to wait this thing out until he has all offers on the table.

The EC is weak. No team is really on BOS's level and they'd have an easy path to the Finals. His chances of winning a ring are greatest in BOS because of this.

so the WC is weak too? i don't think boston is that strong, they were taken to a seventh game twice. man, the high power hawks took them to 7 games and they're such a force.

Oh, I see...you did some scouting while at IUPUI and you know exactly what the Spurs' expectations are of a BACKUP point guard. :rolleyes

C'mon man, you don't really think you know better than NBA scouts who get paid shitloads of $$ to do this do you ? That's a bit of a reach. While you were getting your popcorn and nachos during the game, a Spurs scout was noticing Hill displaying good footwork, solid defensive position, playing smart basketball and making good decisions with the basketball against solid competition.

Even the talking heads check with pro scouts for information before they come up with "their" brilliant mock draft picks. What a joke. Unless someone is a hands-down lock of a first round pick, most fans don't know jack shit about who would be a good pro prospect or not.

well Bro, when i hear people biggin' up the competition (Celtics, Lakers etc) on this forum and puttin down the spurs, i feel like i gotta say somethin'.

I remember WAYY back in Feb. I was pimping Maggette to the Spurs as a great fit and solution to some problems, and at his price, it made great sense then and makes even better sense now and I was condemned and called rather rude names from some of the same people posting their hopes that the Spurs acquire him in this thread. What a bunch of simple sheep with little knowledge or original opinion. You guys know who you are. Bunch of douches.

I guess you were the only person that knew Baron Davis would opt out of his contract and join Brand with the Clippers, making it possible to sign Maggette with the MLE. Congrats.
