    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.
    No one said he was ready to play.

    He wasn't ready, which is why he was in Austin DEVELOPING.

    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?
    Depends how Manu is playing that particular game.

    It also is dependent upon matchups.

    All in all, Maggette would definitely diversify our team.

    Their 1st rounder this year (#7) will have a salary of approx $2.1 mil. If the rescinded their offers to Williams and Fazekas then all that would be left to hit the cap would be the minimum salary charges, which would be another $2.4 mil (6 x $400k). That would leave them with $33 mil on their cap.

    Maybe the cap won't increase that much for 2008-09?

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

    Development in D-League != Development in NBA.

    Reason's why Maggette should pick the Spurs over the Magic or Celts:

    1. The Magic suck

    2. The Celts are lucky Manu was hurt and they suck.

    That is all.

    In any event, the Clippers won't be able to beat the Warriors' offer to Brand on a per season basis. The CBA wouldn't restrict the Clippers from offering a six year deal for $80 mil or so.

    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.
    He's had those 1-2 years already.
    What a coincidence. He's already had 1-2 years to develop.

    That must be why the league created the D-League. To have them play so it can be useless once they get to the NBA.

    Then the Clippers should be able to at least get in the ball-park of the Warriors' offer in terms of total guaranteed money.

    Wait, assuming the cap is $59 mil, the Clips have $33 mil in cap room (including minimum salary roster charges), before signing Brand and Davis, and Davis signs for $11.1 mil, then the Clippers could offer Brand a six year, $115 mil contract starting at $15 mil in 2008-09, right?

    Clippers have 5 players under contract (Kaman, Mobley, Thomas Thornton and Knight) for $28M.
    They have also some qualifying offer to Marcus Williams and Nick Fazekas but they can rescind and they can waive Josh Powell whose contract isn't guaranteed.
    Add to that $2.2M for Eric Gordon rights, $11.1M for baron Davis and $2.2M for 5 cap holds.
    Clippers total salary against eh cap is $43.5M.
    NBPA estimate the salary cap at $58.5M for 2008-2009.
    So Clippers could offer a starting salary of $15M. It could be slightly less if they give Gordon 120% of the rookie scale.

    Clippers could offer brand a $113M/6 years contract.

    Of course, the Clippers could offer 5 years and $90 mil themselves, unless Brand would want that 6th year.

    So, Posey is their priority.

    It's likely he ed about his offer, and this could take the C's out of the Maggette sweepstakes.

    There we have it. The Clippers can't be outbid significantly, if at all, by the Warriors for Brand's services.

    And Clippers don't really need Spurs to take some salary from their hands.
