Yahoo: Spurs front-runners in race for Maggette

[MI21]

I'm thinking not a lot of the Spurs fans realise just how good Maggette is.

This would also make the drafting of a backup PG a very good move and with Mahinmi coming through the Spurs would have just got some youth, energy and athleticism all over the court.

Please happen!

[Biggems]

So lets say we do get Maggette for the MLE, can we use the LLE and the trade exemptions together to get, let's say Barnes?

[T Park]

Doesn't that sort of read like he said yes to the Spurs?

Makes it seem like hes "intrigued"

I wouldn't say signed though.

[Das Texan]

holy !


this alone would make the offseason a sterling success.

[oligarchy]

Ah ok.

Grizzlies doesn't seem likely cause they just got Mayo and they are not in a win now mode.

Warriors is a possibility, and the Sixers are supposedly targeting Josh Smith number 1 though.

I think Warriors are waiting on Arenas (I guess Warriors are offering 5-year 100) but Washington is offering 6-year 124. So.. it's possible Arenas could sign with the Warriors, so they may not be targeting Maggette.

If that was intended

nice

[A.H 21-50]

would be nice
imagine the lineup , difficult to stop the spurs with four 20 pts per game players

i need to calm down

Well Wershington offered 6 and 106

I think the Warriors are offering balls out all they can.

Dunno how that affects things.

[timvp]

There are two teams with room more than MLE

One is the Sixers and they are preparing a deal for Josh Smith.

So its down to 1.

The Hawks will most likely match whatever the Sixers offer. I think the Sixers are still very much in play. They may want a big but then again, they were starting Willie freakin' Green at shooting guard all season last year.

[Jlowd21]

no in way! I cant believe this. Ive been following Maggette since his days at duke and there's no doubt in my mind that he is exactly what we need to get back on top.

[T Park]

Thomas
Duncan
Bowen
Maggette
Parker

Hill
Ginobili
Mahinmi
Udoka
Gist
Hairston
Bonner

Vaughn

[Buddy Holly]

Tony/Hill/Vaughn
Manu/Barnes/Barry
Maggette/Bowen/Gist
Tim/Ian
Thomas/Jav

That'd be a pretty crazy line up.

[completely deck]

i've already said it but...
OH GOD PLEASE

[Big P]

Doesn't Ludden work for yahoo? Why didn't he break this story? Either way.... s yes

Yeah good point.

This report makes me happy, but its a cautious happy, knowing from the past of dealings with the likes of Tyrone Nesby, D Fish and other FAs, that nothing is set, or done, until its CONFIRMED.

Forgot Oberto and hopefully Barry.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Well, after a while, me and RC saw who was left in the free agent market
and we decided that we were gonna surprise all you ers.

[T Park]

Tony/Hill/Vaughn
Manu/Barnes/Barry
Maggette/Bowen/Gist
Tim/Ian
Thomas/Jav

That'd be a pretty crazy line up.

Take out Javtokas and Barnes, and then its more realistic.

BTW, your forgetting Oberto.

[timvp]

At the very least, the report should help those emo Spurs fans untie the noose and realize the Spurs aren't content to just bring back the same team.

[T Park]

Forgot Oberto and hopefully Barry.

thank you.

Yeah with them in there, IF Barry comes back, thats a damn stacked team that is damn damn damn hard to beat.

Now that's a crappy line-up and bench...

[exstatic]

API - In a surprise reversal, Corey Maggette has renounced his interest in the Spurs, since the number 50 is not available for him to wear.

[ShoogarBear]

The thing I love about Maggette's game is his ability to get to the free throw line. He gets to the line as much as Parker and Ginobili combined.

Yep, that is key. Maggette will go cold as much as anyone else on the team, but unlike everyone else, he can still get to the line even when his shots aren't falling.

Tim used to be like that.

[Buddy Holly]

Take out Javtokas and Barnes, and then its more realistic.

BTW, your forgetting Oberto.

Had to use Oberto and Udoka in a S&T for Barnes.
