    A piece from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. The quote was too good to pass on.

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SP5K11NTJT.DTL

    Arriving fresh from a dynasty that never was

    ...But Maggette knows what changed. He went north to Oakland, for five years and $50 million, a consolation prize for the Warriors, who wanted Brand more. He took more money than he was offered in San Antonio ("Tim Duncan wished me well, and told me not to take my whippin' personally," Maggette said) to join a more nebulous situation with Golden State.

    nice... I love that quote...

    I wonder if this offseason is also pissing off the Spurs... maybe Duncan will bring fire to the season

    For a guy who just signed the richest contract of his life, Maggette doesn't sound very excited. It must be bittersweet to look ahead to being a wealthy player on a mediocre team that has little chance of doing much damage, at least for a couple of years.

    Hey Maggette has about 10 million reasons to love the Bay area.

    The name is Rick James BEYATCH!

    Typical Tim

    Recall his words to Finley, when Fin was mulling over offers from the Suns, Heat and Spurs. I believe the statement went something like this: "we'd love to have you, but we don't NEED you"

    I thought he may have said that to NVE as well.

    Duncan sometimes comes across as aloof but his thirst for victory is undeniable. He's not fast, he's not quick, he can't jump, he's not physically imposing and he's not even overly skilled at any one aspect of the game. But when it comes to pure dedication to winning championships above all else, I don't know an athlete in the history of sport who has him beat.

    You don't know one because there isn't one.

    I'll be really mighty disappointed with the Spurs if they don't beat to pulp GSW in their first meeting, and shut down CM just to make a point.

    That was for Nick Van Exel. Tim was so right that we probably would have been better off with out him .

    Nice to see that Timmy is still talking to prospects. Whether it is by request of the FO, or on his own, the respect other players have for him should help negotiations.

    In this case Magette went for the money and if he could make $5,000,000 more for five years somewhere else, then it's easy to see his position.

    To quote former NBA player (maybe "Bad News Barnes" or a former Buffalo Braves player) - "The Ws and Ls don't show up on my paycheck".

    Enjoy the mess and the money Corey.
