Yahoo: Spurs front-runners in race for Maggette

[misterx91578]

spurman20 is an agent just not the type you agent you think he is a ticket agent TICKETS TICKETS TICKETS who needs TICKETS

[FuzzyLumpkins]

One thing that I don't seeing mentioned that plays into all this. He opted out of $7 million dollars and unless he colluded --which i really think Davis did-- and is going to sign with the Sixers next week then his priorities are either home or winning.

The only chance we have is if he wants to win a championship or Orlando doesn't want him. That leaves contending teams.

Boston and Detroit don't need scoring help on the wings overly much. I doubt he wants to play along side Kobe but another team that it makes an infinite amount of sense is New Orleans. Peterson hasn't been what they hoped and I can imagine that Maggette would like to play with a guy like Chris Paul.

It is going to be interesting to see what visits he has lined up in the next couple of days.

Sweetness!

1. When BD went to the Clipps, they had to renounce Maggs rights to offer him the kind of money he wanted.

2. Maggette can either A. See if GS, Phi, or Memphis makes him an outrageous contract offer OR B. Take a MLE deal from anyteam over the cap AND willing to pay the tax.

Thats it right? Even after signing Ellis & Biedrins, the W's will have about $18-19 mil in caproom....hopefully they wont get stupid. Nellie has some say, so hopefully he will hook us up...Philly has Igudola, they dont need Corey, they need a PF..and finally, who the wants to play in Memphis.

We know Boston is making Maggette an offer(so the reports say) & posssibly Orlando, and the Spurs, so it looks like its going to be a4 or 5 team race to sign him...He would be crazy not to want to play with TD.

Cry about what? Read your own post and tell us who's crying bud.



You obviously don't read many threads. And I don't know who Will is nor care if he gives a about my posts?
Smoooooth.



1. Did what again? Reacting to someone quoting me? If you're trying to hint I made some insulting comment about Magz I didn't. He's a baller and we could use him.
2. You waste your own time apparently picking me out in the crowd of ass to pick at it yourself personally. You go boy.
3. Again you do care, or you wouldn't make it a habit typing as much, scrolling back pages to catch my reply, and hunting me down in all the threads you claim to read. Try again cupcake.



Saying negative things about...? Name them, list them, define them, explain them. But you don't care remember? And I didn't say anything about .. Arkansas.. and I don't even wanna know where/why you brought that in here.

All you have is fuzzy lumpkins lodged in your anus giving you a bad carpet burn my friend. That and one failed attempt at some reply.

Try try again.

Line by line responses are so lame and I have read plenty of your drivel.

And spare me the first thing you said in this thread is that he isn't coming here and you were stating that you got to the 'hes not coming here squad' before agentboy as if you reveled the role. Don't act coy. At least be consistent.

I agree. There are SO many contending teams that are in dire need of a player like Maggette. He's going to be the most popular man this off-season.

This thread should take a vacation until some more news comes up.

You just called 90% of ST regulars lame. Nice job.

What's really sad is you are so serious man. I honestly kinda feel bad for your animosity and ignorance. One makes his own opinions and you constantly make failed attempts to slam them. What is your point troll? What (when there isn't) reason do you have for that? And tell me what do I need to act coy about really?

Consistency is my virtue. That's one of many traits I possess actually.

Try again.

Here is an article about Orlando's offseason from realgm.com so take it for what its worth. They state a handful of times that unless they are willing to pay into the luxury tax, which they more than likely aren't, then there is no way the can afford Maggette.

Why would Boston be interested when they have Allen, Pierce and are trying to lock up Posey?

This is more hype than anything. I hate to rain on everyone's parade but Maggette is going to go to Golden State. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE $$$$.

I hope I'm wrong. BTW, is he that much better than JR Smith ? Seems to me that Smith, while extremely wild, attacks the basket with a vengance. He can also shoot the three. Maggette always seemed to lack fire or passion. Ah well, too many people in here are ing all over the place for the guy for me to be right.

I thought Smith would be the better FA pick up for all of his potential.

Link to Golden State being interested?

The hate is everywhere, but the fact that some put on a Mr. Rodgers face is even more disturbing. Inside they are hoping this isn't going to happen.

Are you serious ? They just got punked by Baron Davis and you don't think they will try to go after the best available UFA with all that cash ?

So, Golden State isn't considering your thoughts ? I'm sure they are even if it isn't being reported as so.

Golden State almost has too many options available now. They are making a run at Arenas now, which could take all kinds of time if Washington feels like entering trade talks. They could also go into some lopsided trade with, say, New York to get them out of tax .

That Tony Parker was at Spurs Camp

Lose a point guard, go after a shooting guard.

Makes sense

Exactly.

They need a point guard desperately, and Maggette the last I checked, isn't one.

Source: Celtics make offers to Posey, Maggette
Email|Link|Comments (51) Posted by Marc J. Spears, Globe Staff July 1, 2008 05:11 PM

The Celtics have made contract offers to two forwards: Their own free agent, James Posey, and Clippers free agent Corey Maggette, sources told the Boston Globe. The most the Celtics could offer is the mid-level exception (about $5.8 million), and it's doubtful that they could sign both players. The terms of the offers were not disclosed.

Posey averaged 7.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 2007-08 and was a NBA Sixth Man of the Year candidate in his first season with Boston. The two-time NBA champion was a strong leader for the Celtics and opted out of the second year of a two-year deal on Monday to become an unrestricted free agent. Maggette averaged 22.1 points and 5.6 rebounds last season for the Clippers and played for Celtics coach Doc Rivers in Orlando during the 1999-2000 season.
