Funny you say that now when you were saying earlier that Barry and Beno was too much to give up for Maggette.
The Clips smartened up. They never were getting value for Maggette.

I was going back and forth, as you may recall. While I recognized he was the better player, I thought it was a risky move that might disrupt the tenuous amount the bench was producing and that Maggette was several kinds of expensive for what he'd offer. I still don't think he'd be the solution.
Now we can REALLY kiss Maggette goodbye!
CLIPPERS REPORT
Sterling wants Maggette to stay
By Jason Reid, Times Staff Writer
January 26, 2007
Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling wanted to send a message, so he summoned General Manager Elgin Baylor, Coach Mike Dunleavy and Corey Maggette to an impromptu meeting Saturday near the bottom of the entrance ramp at Staples Center.
The Clippers had just routed the Memphis Grizzlies and Sterling figured the time was right to make his position known on the team's trade discussions involving Maggette. Sterling said he wanted the seven-year veteran to remain with the team, Maggette said he hoped to stay and Baylor and Dunleavy agreed that few players available in trades could help the Clippers more than Maggette, according to Clippers officials familiar with the conversation.
Although the owner left the door ajar to trade the Clippers' leading scorer off the bench, telling Maggette he would permit Baylor and Dunleavy to move him in a deal that might improve the team significantly, Sterling was firm in his message: He wants Maggette to be with the Clippers for a long time.
Wonder why Sterling took so long to say so.
Regardless, he's doing the right thing.
"Wonder why Sterling took so long to say so."
he's donald sterling. he was probably too busy banging tail waitresses in his elevator, office, suite, restroom, front-court seat, locker-room, and control booth to notice anything.
i'm sure he pays them better than he pays his players.
Couldn't blame him for that!
Yall aint gonna get Maggette, Im currently workin on trade possibilities to get him to NJ with Carter goin to LA, yall heard it here first
Actually I heard that somewhere else first.
well your hearin it from the owner himself...
Bruce Ratner?
Recall that several weeks ago an impromptu, "warm and fuzzy" meeting was called between GM Elgin Baylor, head coach Mike Dunleavy and SG Corey Maggette by Clippers owner Donald Sterling. During which time, Sterling confirmed his commitment toward keeping Maggette in a Clippers uniform.
Sterling went onto say that he wouldn't simply "give away" the player unless a deal made sense. There were also attempts by Sterling to "smooth over" any hurt feelings that may have transpired on the part of the player and coach. Apparently, there is still some discontent between the two.

Maggette Upset At Dunleavy Again

Los Angeles Times -
Corey Maggette only played 17 minutes in the Clippers' loss to the Knicks on Tuesday night and voiced very strong criticism for Mike Dunleavy following the game.
"It's just more of Dunleavy's [stuff] again," Maggette said. "I don't get it, I really don't. It's crazy. I put in work. I deserve to play.
"It's totally mind-boggling to me. [It's] unbelievable that I couldn't help this team tonight. Why? Why?"
In January, Donald Sterling came out and said that things had cleared after an impromptu meeting between Maggette, Sterling, Elgin Baylor and Dunleavy.
"He isn't listening to Sterling," Maggette said of Dunleavy. "If he listened to him, I'd be playing.
"I really felt we were [past this]. I guess not, because here we go again. I'm a yo-yo, man."
Of course, none of this means anything for the Spurs. It's just simply to let everyone know that all isn't quite as rosy as the Clips have been leading the world to believe.
coach/player relationship fractured beyond repair. the clips have to move Maggs now.
Yeah i read that too. I guess we can say our prayers before we go to bed and hope huh?
I just hope he wouldn't bring that at ude to the Spurs if he were to come here.
I'd think that if the owner has Maggette's back and Maggette thinks the problem is Dunleavy, that it's more likely that Dunleavy will be the person to leave the organization. Dunleavy did great things for that franchise last year and they're starting to get some things straightened out in Clipperland, which might suggest that Dunleavy is secure, but these sorts of squabbles tend to be resolved against the coach.
"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"
Sounds like some CIA-type government destabilization to me.
I read this earlier in the morning, but doubt the Spurs have anything the Clippers would like to have. They are said to be wanting to sign Christie to another 10-day contract.
sounds like he's got a legit gripe. dunleavy's decisions this year are mind-boggling.
tell me about it...q. ross starts??? wtf???
I could see him getting 25mpg here. However, that point is rendered mute considering its outside the realm of possibility that we get him.
No way he would shoot enough for 25 pts, probably more like 15-18 pts a night..Agree with on you on the fact it doesnt matter cause we are not trading for him anyways
COINTELPRO Pop.
25 minutes per game not points
