Knicks, Marbury?
I think it could be possible.
He'd get fourth quarter time. Combining Bowen getting older and probably playing less fourth quarter minutes, Ginobili resting during the regular season and likely getting less fourth quarter minutes and Pop going with small ball, Maggette should find time in the fourth. The Celtics are coming off a championship where Posey was their fourth quarter power forward, so I'm sure we'll see a lot of copycat moves next season.
DAMN IT!!! Then that means we will miss out on JR, Pietrus and other good MLE players and be left with LLE scrubs....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.
I wish I was somebody in the NBA. The anticipation is going to be a killer.
According to HoopsHype.com GS has just offered a max contract to Brand... if he takes it the Clippers will certainly offer more money to Maggette and he will stay in LA. This is starting to become way too complicated for us.
The Warriors have offered free agent Elton Brand a five-year deal worth between $85 and $90 million, according to league sources.

Not sure about that. They'll need someone who can play and who they can promote. They could always just go with a youth movement and keep their group together. And keep their payroll down.
The Warriors seem to be focused on ensuring that they aren't stuck with bad contracts for their perimeter talent. That's part of the reason Davis is headed out of town.
Not a given. That will mean that the Clippers will have to sweeten their offer to Brand.
Brand will stay in LA. He said yesterday that he would love for the Clippers to team him up with Davis, and the Clippers are signing Davis, so I think no matter what money GS throws at him, he will take a paycut to play with LA.
You're right. That's Mahinmi.
I think Bowen may get less 1st-2nd-3rd quarters minutes, so he has fresher legs for 4th quarter defense.
We'll need his stops in crunch time, as he couldn't keep up with Kobe in the 4th quarters of the WCF
isnt mahinmi & maggette the name of an indian truck company?
The signing scares you enough to get you to try to downplay it -- that's good enough for me.
Clippers can't offer more than 70 M (which is already nice...)
so a D-League player is your savior? He'll realistically take at least 1-2 years to develop before he can contribute. Maggette is realized talent that can make a significant impact right now. If the Spurs get him they are definitely favorites to get out of the West.
I don't see Maggette moving one inch until all the potential offers are layed out on the table for him. Word is he wanted a contract around $10-11 million from the Clippers, he's not exactly happy to be settling for MLE peanuts.
Damn, lakerfans are stuck to this thread like glue.
He's had those 1-2 years already.

No doubt. I wonder why.
What a coincidence. He's already had 1-2 years to develop.
Big named FA that could potentially make the Spurs a real threat next season. Of course we are interested in hearing about this.
Warriors Offer Brand Huge Contract
Jul 02, 2008 2:34 PM EST
The Warriors have offered free agent Elton Brand a five-year deal worth between $85 and $90 million, according to league sources.
Brand, like Baron Davis, opted out of the final year of his contract just before Monday's deadline, giving up a guaranteed $16.4 million for next season.
At the time, Brand's agent, David Falk, told reporters that the move was designed to create some cap flexibility for the Clippers to add another top-line player.
The most the Clippers can offer Brand is a five-year deal worth about $70 million due to salary-cap restrictions - about $20 million less than the Warriors.
Brand, who had been close to re-signing with the Clippers, is expected to make a decision today.

A.K.A The Future, or Marty McFly for the movie buffs.
Maybe I'm wrong, and I think it may be due to the Over 36 Rule, but can't the Clippers sign Brand to a six year deal?
Yeah, and you're doing your best to talk Maggette out of signing here as if he was reading the thread.
It's hilarious.
I meant 1-2 years in the NBA. That's if he pans out, most D-League players do not.
