Maggette has a career 31% average from 3pt arc. He's not gonna spread the floor with that stat.
Why is he considered an answer to our shooting woes from the perimeter?

I believe the answer is that - for the most part - they don't change teams period.
The only time you do see it happen is for a team to vastly over-pay a second/third tier player (i.e. Rashard Lewis) or to over-pay an unproven player in the hopes that he will develop into an all-star (i.e. Wizards with Agent 0).
Yeah, we can and moan that the Spurs never sign top free agents, but 29 other teams' fans can do the same thing.
I don't know where this has been posted, but the Celts are now saying that they didn't make an offer to Maggette.

What shooting woes from the perimeter? The team still shot 37% from downtown last year, not that shabby.
The big problem was that they would go long periods without scoring when the jumpshots weren't falling. Maggette is a slasher in the purest sense of the word, who may not be a terrific shooter, but is a solid scorer who attacks the rim and gets himself to the free throw line.
This team - as it's currently constructed - does not need another shooter (although it will if Barry goes elsewhere). What it needs is an attacking wing.
I had Corey on my fantasy team this year and he gave me steady three point production. Towrds th eend of the season, he made something like 8 three's in one game, and he had a couple more where he had like 6.
He gave me one 3 a year this past year, and that was without a low post guy that could command double teams, and guy's like TP and Manu that can get int he lane and create open shots for the perim. players.
Corey had one game in March in which he went 6/9 from 3pt range, one game in February where he went 5/5, and one game in February where he went 4/5. Other than that he had 8 games where he hit 3 from beyond the arc and 10 games in which he hit 2. That adds up to 21 games in which he hit multiple threes.
I LOVE the possibility of adding Maggette, but it is more for his slashing and ability to get to the stripe than his three point shooting. Let's not make him out to be the Rifleman though.
gotta Get Gette!!
Well, I hope so.
Well there goes all the hope of Maggette now that I read this...
He can't get them all wrong can he?
Its Ingram, so its possible
Question...If teams over the cap can only offer the MLE, how do teams get so far over the cap and into luxury tax? Only through trades? Don't trades have to have equal monetary value? I do not get how with the rules, teams get into trouble.
Or can teams offer whatever they want to a player regardless of if they are over the luxury tax limit and just pay dollar for dollar? I am confused...
resigning your own players to bigger and bigger contracts.
Trades, re-signing free agents, draft picks, etc...
Yes, a team can re-sign their own free agent and end up in lux tax territory. If they want to pay the tax and forgo the distribution then they are free to do so.
I read this thread le and say to myself: "whottt, whottt, whottt?"
Nice to see two teams spend 200 million screw to each other but to stay about the same. If we sign Maggette does that mean the Clips offer Finley a similar deal as revenge. Personally, I believe Barry will resign for that 1.9 LLE -whatever. WHAT OTHER MOVES CAN WE MAKE IN FA?
Come on Maggette, it is an odd number year, be a part of it!
Go for it LA if that were the case
