    Damn, these lakerfans are cracking me up. Your team made the finals. You got nothing better to do than try to make us feel bad about Maggette and Ian?

    No I'm not. I'm saying no amount of D-League basketball can really prepare you for the NBA. Especially for a young bigman, it's going to take at least a year before he can adjust to the NBA speed and physicality. And you're assuming he's going to get major minutes over Oberto and Thomas. The Spurs can't afford to around with rotations in the Wild West, every game is important.
    The thing is Mahinmi doesn't play the gritty physical style that requires NBA adjustment. He plays with finesse, rare bigman speed, his jumpshot, and knows how to get around without having to need to use his strength.

    Maybe it's time for the Spurs to step in with their trade exception and help the Clips out?

    pff, spurs are getting boring...Barry the only old player that played his mind out in the playoffs is leaving because he's tired of being on the tradelist every year. The Other old guys like Vaughn Horry Finley are like to stay.

    A Spurs fan needs to step up and make one for Maggette. Maybe this could replace the mariachis.
    That is seriously badass.

    Honestly,

    I more concerned about Magette's friends saying that Corey asked the magic to make a strong push for him.

    I was thinking we could do that with Philly -- but only after signing Maggette.

    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.

    and in a close game it takes away hack a Bowen if Maggette is in

    What does the Clippers' cap look like right now? This source is obviously incomplete.

    That's why the Spurs should tell him that he needs to make a decision quick, because what if he waits too long and other teams(us included) sign someone else and won't be able to get Maggette? Then he'd be left signing somewhere else for cheap as , and he doesn't want that.

    What else would they do?
    Pray every morning to their Kobe Shrines. Also, they talk about the past Laker teams that most of them probably weren't alive to watch. Furthermore, they steadily deny the truth in order to compensate for the depression they have in their lives away from the computer. I may be missing something but that's roughly a "rough draft".

    The offer to Davis is 5 years, $65 mil. So that would be a contract starting at $11.11 mil assuming an 8.5% annual raise.

    I know he would get fourth quarter time, but I assumed Pop would have Parker, Manu, Bowen, TD + Big in the late fourth quarter of playoff games (assuming the other team isn't small ball). Or would Pop subsitute Maggette for Bowen? Wouldn't we need the defense?

    D-League compe ion is nothing compared to the NBA. Maybe he doesn't play physical, but the players defending him will and he'll have to adjust to that and the overall speed and flow of the game. If he was ready to play in the NBA he would have gotten minutes last season over Oberto/Elson.

    The Clippers could offer Brand a six year contract for $85 mil starting at $11.11 mil (same as Davis' offer) with a 10.5% max raise.

    Would not the Clippers be far enough under the cap to be able to offer them both $11.1 mil starting salary contracts?

    Clipper salary before QOs, draft pick, and minimum salary charges is $28.4 mil. I guess if the cap came in at $55 mil that would pose a bit of a problem. I would guess they would rescind their offers to Williams and Fazekas.

    Hence his bulking up.

    He was developing in Austin. How many in times must it be repeated?

    The NBA will have to adjust to his speed and flow.
