Delfino likely can make more in Europe. Jones will get a good chunk of someone's MLE.
Delfino lost his leverage by not living up to expectations. I think Jones can be had for LLE money too. I'm not sure. , I'd take Barry over both of them.

According to reports, all NBA players can make more in Europe.
"Reports" from Greece?
The Flaker fan doesn't know squat. He's on his knees praying CM goes ANYWHERE but the Spurs. If he signs here, the Flakers chances of getting out of the West go down the drain -- with or w/o Bynum.
[ Welcome to The Show! On Wednesday, ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford will drop by to talk about the NBA draft.
Ford covers the NBA and NBA Draft for ESPN Insider and also makes appearances on ESPN Radio and ESPNEWS.
Send your questions to Chad now and join him right here in The Show on Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET!
Chad Ford: Aloha everyone. The dust from the draft has barely settled and already we're in the middle of a hotter than expected free agent season. Let's roll ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------Warwick,RI: What are the chances of Corey Maggette signing with the Boston Celtics?
Chad Ford: The Celtics and Spurs have shown a lot of interest so ... if what he says is true about caring more about winning a championship than money he should take the offers and run. However, I know he's still waiting to see if the Warriors or Sixers could offer more money. Very few players, at the end of the day really take big financial hits to join contenders. ]
Man I hope this happens........ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY. The 9th couldn't come sooner!!
The same money the Spurs are offering.
Problem is Posey wants MLE money too.
Right. And Spurs are offering a starting spot and 35+ minutes a night.
Yep.Problem is Posey wants MLE money too.
So, is it likely that whoever of the two misses out on maggette goes after posey at that point? Whenever the two teams played, posey might be guarding maggette...
Damn. I hope the Spurs get someone they want.
Ainge said that Posey was their priority. That means that if he is still their priority, they should be waiting for him to accept their offer, which is probably part of the MLE.Problem is Posey wants MLE money too.
If that happens, then Celtics say goodbye to Maggette.
I think their highest non-MLE offer to Posey could be about $3.85 million, so he must want something close to a full MLE deal. Using any of the MLE would take the Celtics out of the running.
What sucks is that this is going to likely drag on for a long time. Even after July 9th comes, Maggette and his agent will probably wait while the Sixers and perhaps Warriors offer contracts to restricted free agents. Only after those two teams (plus maybe the Grizzlies) decide what they are going to do will Maggette decide what to do. Unless he really, really wants to sign with the Spurs, I don't see it happening until around July 16th or 17th at the earliest.
Yeah. This is going to be a long, painful affair.What sucks is that this is going to likely drag on for a long time.

If the draft is any indication, I'd guess that the Spurs simply won't wait that long if there's a risk of ending up with nothing.What sucks is that this is going to likely drag on for a long time.

Agreed. I don't think he decides on anything until after the Philly/Smith thing sorts out, and he'll wait to see what GS does.What sucks is that this is going to likely drag on for a long time.

Unless Pop really convinced him during his rumored visit to San Diego, then I see this thing lasting another week or two.
Grizzlies aren't going to do anything.
Sixers? Maybe.
Warriors are trying to replace a franchise player. If Brand and Arenas turn them down, I expect them to try trading their cap space.
Now that I think about it, the Celtics just drafted JR Giddens and Bill Walker. Is there any room for Maggette there also with Pierce and Allen at the starting spots, especially if they resign Posey? I don't think so.
Haven't seen this posted anywhere else, and it is largely, if not entirely a rehash of Wojo's Yahoo Article, but:
"Spurs are First in Line for Corey Maggette"

Update: According to two NBA sources, one from each conference, the Spurs are preparing to make an offer to Maggette, who became an unrestricted free agent Tuesday when he opted out of the final year of his contract with the Clippers, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Recommendation: Details are not known, but the Spurs are believed to be poised to offer the 28-year-old guard-forward their full mid-level exception worth about $5.8 million for the first year, the sources say. Boston and Orlando are other teams that have expressed interest.

Right. Plus they're offering a reserve role (ie Posey's) and fewer minutes than he can get in SA. If he takes a MLE contract then it will be all about him prepping himself for the offseason of 2010. I think the Spurs are first in line if he does end up having to take an MLE offer.
Would Maggette be ok with not playing late in the fourth quarters, except when Pop is forced to play small?
As long as he gets his 35 minutes and 15 shot attempts or whatever I'm sure he'd be ok.
Why wouldn't he?
Free throws become very important late in games.
Agreed.
Right. Perhaps Atlanta is still Atlanta and they don't match an offer to Smith.Sixers? Maybe.
Right. They need a name now to replace Davis. I'm sure someone might be willing to dump a large contract attached to a name for perhaps some mix of the Warriors' young talent and cap relief.Warriors are trying to replace a franchise player. If Brand and Arenas turn them down, I expect them to try trading their cap space.
