I don't find it fine. Most of these players will be old or/and won't be a good fit with Parker/Manu/Duncan.
Yeah, Spurs had no luck with restricted free agents this summer.He was restricted, it wasn't that easy.
for drafting Sanikidze over Ariza.

Are you saying that getting Ariza would have been as easy as getting Elson and Butler ?
I don't think so, orlando was quite high on him.
Maybe I missed it in the ten pages of arguments but was there an article that specifically states that the Clippers *are willing to do the deal*?
The article stated that the Clippers *would be intrigued by an offer* of B&B. It didn't state that the Clippers would do the deal. This is assuming the deal was even offered by either side.
Again, I may have missed another article that stated the offer was made and turned down by the Spurs but it seems this has gone from a "maybe the Clips would take B&B for Maggette" to a "I can't believe the Spurs turned down this deal" rant.
The Spurs need to hire Dan Scott to coach the damn team and be the new gm! He wants to win at any costs! Look at how he was towards his son Nathan!
Welcome back! Where've you been???

Maggette played more minutes
If a deal is still on the table (I think it's dead now), please, do it RC and Pop.
13 free throw attempts means at least 6-7 fouls on the opposing team. pressuring the defense or chucking 3's. which has more value. i'm really beginning to question the FO. if you're not a FA destination, kidd and o'neal let us know this, the only way to get better is through TRADES or the DRAFT. and since we always have a kick ass regular season record, we really need to focus on trades to get quality players to get here. there are only so many european gems you can find late in the draft.
Maggette played more minutes
and...hit a three
at least this story tells us, that the Spurs are activly working on a trade to get the Player we have been talking about for quite some time
I would love to see Maggette as a Spur.
in a trade for Barry Spurs of course would lose much, but IMO win much more.
most points have been mentioned.
I don't agree that Maggette is a liability as a defender and also that he is a bad locker room influence.
with the Spurs he would become a decent defender (like most player, who were not known as good defenders before joining the Spurs) and I don't know stories that would put Maggette into the headcase category.
but anyhow. maybe the Clippers asking price was higher than just Brent+Beno, what we don't know, maybe it included the 1st rounder 2007.
(I would be very surprised, if a team like the Clippers didn't try to also get a pick out of a Maggette trade, especially since they would trade for a 35 years old player)
Agreed here about the possibility that a pick was involved. That, more than anything, would probably make the FO think twice.
I think the Barry thing is overplayed. Yes he stretches the defense with his range and yes he's a good locker room guy, but the bottom line is that Corey Maggette scores and rebounds in bunches. He does even better when he's secure with his position on a team. The Spurs should take the risk...he's worth it.
I'm sure we're all sick of the Maggette pseudo-saga by now, but he's still out there agitating.

Maggette Certain He Will Be Dealt This Season
3rd January, 2007 - 8:37 am
Orange County Register -
Corey Maggette does not believe he will finish the season as a member of the Clippers.
When he was asked if that was a possibility on Tuesday, he said emphatically, “No, I won’t be here.’’
Maggette has expressed to the Clippers his desire to be traded and the Clippers have been open to his agent, Rob Pelinka, contacting various teams to see what interest they have.
“I don’t want to make my issue a big thing with the team,” Maggette said. “At the end of the day, I have to stay professional and play basketball.

TRADE INQUIRIES
Riley has hinted at change more than once this season, but the later it gets in the season, the more weight those threats seem to carry. According to league sources, the Heat has inquired about acquiring the Clippers' Corey Maggette in a trade as recently as last week, and the team also has expressed interest in acquiring Ron Artest from Sacramento, or possibly Mike Bibby if the Kings choose to trade the point guard and his large contract. Neither the Clippers nor Kings, though, have demonstrated much interest in what the Heat has to offer.
Beno+Barry=Maggette..
TP-Manu-Vaughn
Maggette-Manu-White (call him up)
Bowen-Finley-Manu-White
TD-Horry-Bonner
Elson-Oberto-TD
Man, that's tough...
Barry's having a nice year, but I wouldn't pass on Maggette just to keep him. You still have Finley coming off the bench, and manu and TP dominate the ball most of the game anyways. Replacing Udrih/Barry can be done. Adding a Maggette to your team isn't something you get the chance to do often. Oh well...
didnt maggette get hurt last night?
No, that was mobley who hurt his ankle. Now it becomes even more difficult to trade for maggette cause he is starting!!
Status Alert: Maggette suffered a sprained left ankle and strained left arch, the Los Angeles Times reports. (Jan 3)

Corey Maggette: Starts in Place of Injured Mobley
Corey Maggette: Starts in Place of Injured Mobley
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com
Thursday, January 4, 2007
Update: Maggette (ankle) moved into the starting line-up Wednesday night in place of the injured Cuttino Mobley, and responded with 16 points and 11 rebounds in 40 minutes of play.
Recommendation: Maggette does not appear to be limited by his ankle injury, and his value gets an obvious boost for as long as he remains in the starting line-up.
So i guess both guys were hurt but mobley's injury is worse..
16 and 11 hurt? , i'd give the clips anyone they wanted.
Understatement of the month...There are some people in this forum who just ride the "names" of people. Much like people are die hard Finley fans because they remember the Finley of old and keep riding those memories even though he has been horrid for two seasons. Corey Maggette has been nothing what people seem to think he is. Its not about stats all the time people. I wonder how many have actually watched him play with any regularity?
Kori summed it up well with her various points.
IMO Pietrus would be a better option. He's not as fragile as it would seem as he has gotten some "bad breaks." Getting a broken nose is isn't being fragile...its just bad luck for example. Short term, he's a good defensive player now. But he isn't as far off offensively as TIMVP may think. And its not like with the Spurs offense he'd be getting a lot of shots anyway.
This deal isn't going to happen.
The problem is the Spurs are back to playing like the Spurs before Manu got hurt. Tony dribbling around for 14 seconds then 1 pass then a shot. The guy has 7 assists in the last two games.
Remember how the Spurs were first playing when Manu got back? Remember all the passing and easy shots they were getting? Remember Tony's 12+ assists in one game?! Move the ING BALL on offense...and things will be right back to normal. I am not saying the Spurs shouldn't make a deal if there is someone who could help them...
Its "THE WAY THEY ARE PLAYING", not "WHO" is playing.
