Yeah I think thats a copy of the Express News article.
Thanks though Mikey
I think Magz has made up his mind and is just sleeping on it till Wednesday.
Very good point and I agree. So other than the Spurs and Pistons no other squad has been a legit contender for the past 10 years. And we know the Pistons can't sign him so that leaves us.You do know that the Pistons have been to the Easter Conference Finals 6 straight years, right - making it to the Finals twice and winning it once. I would hardly call that a "one year fluke".
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the guys in black are statistically the best sports team in any of the major sports over the last 11 yearsbut I don't think it's fair to lump the Pistons in with the Heat or Mavs.
The next few days will tell us alot about Maggette. Does he
a. sign with the Spurs since we have a legit shot at winning the le every year? Which would prove that Maggette is the kind of player the Spurs try recruiting.
or
b. does he take the extra millions to run with medicore teams like the Warriors or Sixers? This would show us that he'd rather barely make it to the playoffs every year with no shot at the le.
c. sign with the nba champions and have an arguably better shot at winning a le there.
In my humble opinion as a SPURS fan, option c wouldn't exist if Manu was healthy. And yes, I realize the Celts swept the Spurs in the regular season but so did the Cavs in '07 before we beat the dog$hit outta them in the finals.
Whatever.
Seconded...I question the loyalty of fans who make such statements.
If either the Warriors or the Sixers give Maggette an $8-10 million dollar contract between 3-5 years he will take it. Money first, championship second. Don't believe a word he says. He's going to wait this thing out until he has all offers on the table.
obviously you're a celts fan posing as a spurs fan...
The EC is weak. No team is really on BOS's level and they'd have an easy path to the Finals. His chances of winning a ring are greatest in BOS because of this.
True dat!
so the WC is weak too? i don't think boston is that strong, they were taken to a seventh game twice. man, the high power hawks took them to 7 games and they're such a force.

Oh, I see...you did some scouting while at IUPUI and you know exactly what the Spurs' expectations are of a BACKUP point guard.
C'mon man, you don't really think you know better than NBA scouts who get paid loads of $$ to do this do you ? That's a bit of a reach. While you were getting your popcorn and nachos during the game, a Spurs scout was noticing Hill displaying good footwork, solid defensive position, playing smart basketball and making good decisions with the basketball against solid compe ion.
Even the talking heads check with pro scouts for information before they come up with "their" brilliant mock draft picks. What a joke. Unless someone is a hands-down lock of a first round pick, most fans don't know jack about who would be a good pro prospect or not.
I gotta agree. This isn't the 'Objective NBA Fans Forum'....it's a forum for die hard SPURS fans....WTF is wrong with some of the people??? And I don't give a that the Celts are renting our le for a year..
WTF is wrong with you Bro? ST is a forum for die hard Spurs fans, it is not a ing Cult. People are en led to have differing opinions. Its what makes this site what it is.
well Bro, when i hear people biggin' up the compe ion (Celtics, Lakers etc) on this forum and puttin down the spurs, i feel like i gotta say somethin'.
I remember WAYY back in Feb. I was pimping Maggette to the Spurs as a great fit and solution to some problems, and at his price, it made great sense then and makes even better sense now and I was condemned and called rather rude names from some of the same people posting their hopes that the Spurs acquire him in this thread. What a bunch of simple sheep with little knowledge or original opinion. You guys know who you are. Bunch of s.
I guess you were the only person that knew Baron Davis would opt out of his contract and join Brand with the Clippers, making it possible to sign Maggette with the MLE. Congrats.
didnt you want to trade expirings plus cash for maggette at the deadline? yeah, that gives you a lot of cred...
