and gets at least 35 minutes a night.
He would start in Orlando..
He'd play more in SA.
He'd be an actual le contender in SA.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
He starts in ORL as well.
A team of Dwight Howard, Maggette, Lewis, Hedo, and Nelson is quite formidable in the EC. Easily one of the best shooting teams in the league, and Maggette provides them with a slashing guard who can get to the hoop that they've sorely lacked. If they avoid the Celtics they could definitely find themselves deep in the playoffs or even in the Finals. The EC is that weak.
I'm glad we have 20 full pages of insightful discussion on this topic.

Would Maggette start over Rashard Lewis or Hedo Turkoglu? Once again, Hedo's play is underappreciated.
Maggette is a starter in SA. He's also much closer to a championship ring in SA.
I think Maggette would actually be more of a third or even second option should we pick him up. Pop is going to micromanage Manu's minutes more than ever this season, including bringing him off the bench in that sixth man role once again.Maybe the Maggette camp feels that the best way to maximize his earning potential in a weak market, is to sign a 3yr. contract (3rd being p.o.) at the MLE. Opting-out in year three (2010, when there will be multiple teams with cap-room) leaves him a great chance of getting a contract well above his market-value. After the top-tier free-agents are off the board, players like Maggette would benefit from teams scrambling to find a way to salvage their offseason. Thus, over-paying for lesser talent.
Playing for a team like the Spurs for 2 years, would give Maggette a chance to re-shape his image. If he's a good soldier, contributes to a winning team, and maybe even becomes a key-contributor to a championship team? He could really help himself financially down the road. Artest might have done well to do the same.
The positives of Maggette are obviously his free-throws, rebounding, and overall athleticism. He'd be a of a fouth scorer and could really help to lighten the load on what most likely will be a beaten-up Ginobili.
The negatives being: he's a bit of a ball stopper, he's injury-prone, and his passion/drive has left alot to be desired in the past.
For the MLE though, Maggette is a no-brainer. Worst case scenario you finally have a tradeable asset (outside The Big 3) with an attractive/friendly contract.
This means Maggette is going to carry much more of that scoring load which depleted Manu last season.
These were my thoughts as well, but supposedly, Turk or Lewis is going to make a go at being a PF full-time. We will see how that works out.
I actually think Orlando is the SPurs biggest compe or for CMaggette. Who doesn't like Orlando and FL is tax free as well.
Not to mention, it is the east. How close was Orlando to getting to the next round? Pretty close.
There is a wire report that C M is expected to sign with Orl for 5 yr MLE.....fun while it lasted plan B I guess
They are so weak that there conference represents the current league champions. Sounds damn weak to me.
link? I don't see it.
I think we all figured Orlando was a strong player, but coming from you there's still hope.
whats the point of not counting the rookies? hill has a guranteed salary too, even if we waive him.
Who do you think we should go after now?
wiki I bet. Strange Maggette would sign for that long when he would command more in 2 years.
Why would he have to start over either one?
They played most of the season (especially second half) with a line-up of:
Maurice Evans / Dwight Howard / Rashard Lewis / Jameer Nelson / Hedo Turkoglu
Carlos Arroyo / Maurice Evans / Dwight Howard / Rashard Lewis / Hedo Turkoglu
Are you saying they would start Maggette over Evans or Arroyo? He can start and play plenty of minutes.
Duhon to Meet with Orlando

After meeting with the Knicks today, Bulls free-agent point guard Chris Duhon is on to Orlando to meet with the Magic tomorrow. He was contacted by five teams on the first day of free agency: Cleveland, Sacramento, New York, Orlando and, in a bit of a surprise, Boston. The re-signing of Udrih should eliminate the Kings. Keep an eye on Duhon's dinner plans -- he could be meeting up with some current Magic players tomorrow. Players only get involved in free-agent recruitment when teams are truly serious about signing them.
Maybe they offer him the LLE?
what do you mean now, this Maggette thing was a huge surprise to everyone. Plan A is still in place.
But we have all that cap space you found.
