how austin chumpdumper?
the hawks dont want to overpay smith tho, so by steal i meant if they offer him something the hawks dont want to match.

We are all just stressing over nothing. There are so many things that can happen and all of this is just rumors. If the Spurs re-sign Kurt and Barry, get some small production from Hill and Ian and land a serviceable wing who can defend and score that is a good off-season. There is no real evidence that Corey will come or J.R. or Gordon or Childress. Anyone of those guys would be an absolute thrill to get, but I am not holding my breath...or am I?
I might be one of the few to say that Maggette aint coming to S.A.
Dont get me wrong, would love to have the dude, but I aint holding my breath
for him.
I think money matters more to him right now and will make everyone wait till the 9th.
Spurs fans need to stop acting "giddy" about the spurs slim chances of signing him.
There is no offical signing, verbal agreement or anything and people here think
le number 5 is on the way..
Come on, be serious.
it does say were front runners, this isnt a pipe dream situation. only 3 teams can offer him more than the MLE and they are grizzles, sixers, and warriors. outside of the warriors i dont see the other 2 teams paying corey more. even with the warriors they have sjax ellis and they now need to look for a PG.
with that said corey is looking at the MLE, now its just a preference of where he wants to play. i think we have a better shot than boston for starters.
That is assuming no team is willing to pay any luxury tax to get him.
No thanks, I'd prefer to be happy and hopefully than a miserable like yourself.I might be one of the few to say that Maggette aint coming to S.A.

It's fine.
Yeah I don't think hes coming, but, if theres multiple sources saying "Spurs are leading the race"
Then it gives you a minute to wonder if theres a chance.
Pretty much.
slowing down now.Pretty much.
Fully Agreed!
Right now...it is speculation that Maggette will come to SA. But, I have said to friends and co-workers after the WCF.....this is the guy to go after. It will bring some much needed scoring and athleticism to the SG/SF position that the Spurs need.
I won't get excited until it's official....but if Pop & RC can convince him he's has a chance to get a championship ring then the Spurs would have addressed 2 of 3 main needs in the offseason (Backup PG, Athletic SG/SF and Backup PF/C).
Let's hope Pop & RC...also Tony Parker and Tim Duncan can talk to Maggette and give him their best sales pitch on why he's should become a Spur.
First point to him would be....since 1999 (we have gone at least to the Western Conf Semis and won four championships in that period) and this year was a player with one bad ankle away from the NBA Finals.
Second Point to him...it's that his money can go farther here in SA than Philly, Orlando or the Bay Area. (Yes...I know Florida doesn't have State Taxes like TX.)
Third Point to him....this team has great chemistry and is low-maintenance. (One of the main reasons I'm glad I'm a fan in this Spurs Golden Age) No craziness here...like in LA (with you know who!!) or SAC or NY or anywhere else. It's about playing ball and competing for a championship each season.
Hopefully those points will convince him and please add others as well.....

A-MA-ZING
Maggette is a heck of a player.
career 31% shooter on 3s. Doesn't seem like a perimeter hotshot to me.
That's the spirit.
Jus' keepin' it real. This will be our third attempt at a Clipper wing player. Murray never signed or arrived, and we all remember the DA drama.
cory is good....but doesnt he spend alot of time on the bench hurt? imo he does
Orlando Magic may make move for Maggette

News / Orlando Sentinel
Los Angeles Clippers guard Corey Maggette told friends over the weekend that he was encouraging the Orlando Magic to make a compe ive offer in free agency, allowing him to return to the team where he started his NBA career nine years ago.
Maggette, 28, averaged 22.1 points last season for the Clippers, where he has spent the last eight seasons as a shooting guard/small forward.
----------------------------------------------------
The Florida lifestyle may prove difficult to resist for a guy like Magette. Don't his parents live in Florida? Right now I think Orlando has the edge over SA.
I think I quit posting in this thread before it was in the double digits, but I've got to say this has been a pretty worthless 31 page read. A lot of hoping and hating going on!
awesome if it happens...but we know how FA like to use the Spurs to drive up their market value.
if we pull this off, i'd be happy as . he's exactly what we need at the 2 guard spot. don't care about his lack of d or that he's not a competent 3 ball shooter. this kid puts pressure on defenses by going to the basket, causing foul trouble and hitting foul shots.
i can't believe this hit 31 pages overnight...crazy!!
Ah, the problems that come with being the best Spurs forum on the internets.
