First, he's not going to commit until he knows what Brand is going to do. If, as expected, Brand re-ups with the Clippers, then his camp will see where he stands with the Warriors and the Sixers.
There you go thinking again, son.

Very true. Maggette can't do anything until at the very least Brand decides. Spurs fans expecting to log onto SpursTalk today to see Maggette had signed need to take a closer look at the situation.
Maggette will decide when ...
1) Brand signs and the door is closed on any sign-and-trade options.
2) After talking to the Sixers and Warriors to gauge their interest. This would obviously have to be after Brand signs and the Sixers and Warriors start their free agency game plans.
3) After waiting out the Sixers and Warriors to see where their money is spent.
I'd guess #3 is what he'll do but it could be any of the scenarios.
You suck as an agent and a fan.
If Maggette goes to G State or Philly he is a born loser as those teams will not even sniff the finals the next decade....He needs to sign by the end of the week or we need to move on before we have a rookie second round pick starting at the 2.
No, no, no....
When you find out your going to be one of the most coveted free-agents on the market, you don't waste time "weighing your options."
Maggette should know that you have to pick a team within 48hrs. of your free-agency. (to put teams and fans minds at ease)
Don't give me this, " I can't even sign until Wednesday." or " I owe it to myself to see where the chips fall, to make the best decision." Get that weak out of here!
You know what? Screw that arrogant son !
If the Spurs ask you to sign with them, the correct answer is....
Holy !!!! I mean... Holy !!! Yes! Yes! Yes! Now who's do I need to suck???
Okay.... Maybe not those exact words but...
He does need to ask who's he needs to suck.
Right on man tell it like it is........he is gonna end up ing around and be stuck taking the MLE for a suck team when he could have been with a winnere. I think the spurs would also reward him with a stronger contract in 2010 if he buys in and plays well.
Tweedle Dum.
Is that according to the Agent Handbook?
Maybe I haven't been posting long enough for people to understand my smart-ass-ness???
The question is how long will he give #3. I think Brand stays with the Clippers, unless they are unwilling to budge from their $70 mil offer. His opting out along with Davis seems a bit too coincidental.
The longer Maggette waits on #3, the greater the possibility that he ends up taking the MLE from a team that isn't his first choice of teams offering the MLE. If he takes the MLE from a team that will be capped out through 2010 or 2011 then he could very well set himself up to take the MLE for the remainder of his career. Brand opting out blindsided him or perhaps the notion of Brand opting out and remaining with the Clippers + adding BDavis did. Once Brand agrees to stay with the Clippers, I would imagine that Maggette's agent will press the Warriors to commit or at least get a true appraisal of their interest. What will be tricky for the Spurs is if he opts to wait on the Warriors and/or Sixers for a week to see how things play out. You'd think they'd go after Plan B, but that may be too soon. Then again, they could find themselves sucked into a Maggette or bust scenario as other swingman free agents start to find homes.
Still, if Maggette wants to set himself up for another summer (ie 2010) to find his big payday, one would think he would want to find a team that will have the cap flexibility to help him get paid in 2010.
When you are contemplating a $20 to 30 mil difference in guaranteed $, you will take some time.
Damn strait!!
Brand will stay with the Clippers.
Maggette is really the unknown here. If history is any sign he will sign with the highest bidder, but his comments lately make it seem like he's changing his tune and wants to win. We'll see if this is all just a ploy to drive his price up.
Evidently the Handbook wasn't written in English.Damn strait!!

I found spurman20's post that elicited MB's response to be a little less than.... I don't know??? Well thought out?
I think he wants to win if the price is right.......his agent says he was hoping for 5 yr deal starting at 11m per season......Only 2 teams that can give him that would be a bad fit.......I still think orlando is the fav after G State then us
Sorry, next time I'll make sure to put plenty ofto make my sarcasm known.

Free agent swingman Corey Maggette is now said to be a leading candidate to sign with the the San Antonio Spurs.
tommorow sounds like a good day to announce it
Have been reading that same thing for like a week now...no new news...
yea but atleast all the reports are remaining consistent.
nothing new like, maggette has put something else infront of the spurs
When you read about multiple conflicting reports about where Maggette is likely to be headed it means nobody has a ing clue where he is headed.
