That would make the trade more attractive to the Spurs.
would the clippers want scola to and spurs saying no?

this may bite us in the ass...he would be a valuable asset to our team. especially in the playoffs when free throws become ever more important. his aggression would put pressure on opposing defenses and my put key players in foul trouble.
oh well...we'll keep beno who is our 3rd string pg now and barry, in the hope that these 2 will get hot for the playoffs. this doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies...
Okay, Beno has his coughup in the backcourt for this game.
Marked. But I'm about to throw out my calendar so I'm not sure how I'll remember that this day was marked.
Spurs better do something soon. This team can't win the championship without some fresh blood to get things going. Right now we're on pace for a great regular season record and a swift second round trouncing. Spurs have about as much energy as a paper plate.
Maggette will not solve our problems ; yeah he is a good rebounder, he goes to the line, but it's not gonna be enough.
We need to work hard, period
If it's not broke? What do you call what happened last year against Dallas?
Um, yeah, kinda have to work with that whole matching salary thing and the CBA...
Read above, dip . We have expirings enough. Spurs might try to see if LAC just wants to dump his salary completely, otherwise it's not worth it to them.
Why is J. Vaughn such a bad backup pg to everyone?
I don't see how Beno is a better option here. Beno plays little defense, and is streaky.
Vaughn can handle the offense and play D in a similar fashion that AJ did back in the day except in this case the guy that can't hit 10 foot jumpers away from the baseline is not starting. J.V. doesn't have a 4-1 assist to turnover ratio like AJ did, but he's not that bad. Would you like to bring Van Exel back?
Looks like the Clips are having much luck with the Maggette Sweepstakes:

Clippers Still Badly Want To Deal Maggette
31st December, 2006 - 9:47 am
Boston Herald -
Even though trade discussions between the Kings and Clippers have apparently ended, Corey Maggette remains very available.
News of a breakdown in discussions between the Clippers and Kings in a potential Corey Maggette-for-Ron Artest swap has to be disappointing for the Clippers. They have been dangling the self-centered Maggette for quite some time now, without completing a deal for a scorer who hasn’t fit into the Clippers’ improving scene.
Then again, perhaps Artest’s marketability is reaching the end of the road as well.
“The Clippers want to get rid of Maggette in the worst way,” said one league general manager. “And Artest had worn out his welcome in Sacramento halfway through last year. The thing that gets me is that Iverson gets a rap when you think about these two. At least Iverson goes out and tries to win for you every night.”
let oberto and luis scola for him...
Don't Worry. Iverson talks lasted about 3 weeks. We are bound to land him by friday.
I hope so. Maggette seems to be the best overall option. He serves a purpose NOW and he is a player to build around for the future (and replace the ever increasingly frail Bowen).
Make it so.
frail? remind me, when was the last time bowen missed a game?
Frail?
How is Bruce Bowen frail?
Please explain that...
Ok, frail was perhaps not the best choice of words. He is an ironman. I suppose I meant "aged".
good defenders get beat sometimes. it happened more than a few times last year, too.
I guess, but thinking Maggette is magically going to become even a decent defender here is not terribly realistic.
Oh, no, I realize that Maggette isn't going to magically change if he dons a spurs uni. He'll still be the same defensive player. But the Spurs don't have a decent plan for the post-Bowen era. What if Bowen got hurt tonight and was out for the rest of the season? What if Bowen started to really slow down and couldn't play his usual big minutes? Is Finley really the answer at the 3 when Bowen is out? E-Will? James White might be able to come off the bench for some decent minutes next season, but I don't think anyone expects him to start. I really love Bowen, but the team does not have a journeyman that is anywhere near succeeding him and one day he will be both aged AND frail.
Maggette might not be the perfect answer, but who is (and near that price and available)? Maggette might not be the ideal answer, but I think he is as good as we'll see. He makes sense, and the team needs to consider their long-term and short-term futures.
Well he misses about 20 games a season, so yeah, he's far from a perfect Bowen replacement.
Holy .
Good luck to opposing teams having to defend Parker, Ginobili, Maggette, Duncan and either Elson/Oberto/Horry/Bonner in the postseason all at one time. The loss of Beno is nothing, I'm actually more comfortable with Vaughn out there. Sure he is less reward on a good night, but he is also less risk on the other nights. I think with all the other firepower on the Spurs, Vaughn's consistently steady play is more important than an odd good outing from Beno.
This trade would make the Spurs absolutely amazing offensively without comprimising the still decent defensive core. In fact, it would probably help the defense a little bit considering Maggette's strength, he could be useful against the bigger types. Would do nothing but improve the transition game also, Maggette is very very athletic. Him on the break with Parker, Ginobili and Elson would be a sight.
If the Clipps want to get rid of Maggette so bad, then I can see his price dropping as the trade deadline approaches. Barry has been playing really well for us this year & I think we are definitly going to need his shooting in the playoffs. If the Clipps would take EWill, Beno, picks & cash for Maggette & Korolev, then I would do that trade. Giving up more than that for Maggette IMO is not worth risking our playoffs.
What kind of firepower are talking about?
Without Barry spurs do not have a consistent 3pt shooter.
Btw - maggete is Injury prone
