That SHOULD be the starting 5.

this thread is on fire.
I am not going to get too excited just yet. It's early and a lot of things can happen.
BTW, J.R. who?
Well it sounds as if the money is gonna be around the MLE no matter what he does at this point. I really don't see any teams like Philly or Memphis breaking the bank for him since both teams already have an athletic wing who attacks the basket (Gay & Iggy). But then again I didn't really see a team spending 100+ mil on R. Lewis last summer.
This really, honestly, would be ideal for the Spurs. A super athletic swingman who absolutely takes it to the rack relentlessly. He would be tremendous.
Big move for the franchise. He's exactly what we need. But there's still a long way to go. I wouldn't put my money on it just yet. GET ME A MAGETTE JERSEY IF HE SIGNS.
Bowen would start at SG and Maggette would start at SF. Manu would still come off the bench.
I'd definitely keep the numbers of JR Smith and Josh Childress on speed dial. If Maggette falls through, those two seem like they should be the next in line. The next tier after that is probably Pietrus and Azubuike.
Do you guys really see Magette signing a long term deal for the MLE though? It's incredible because he's a legit 20/5 player in this league. Freaking Luke Walton makes the MLE.
I have a hard time believing no team will offer him no more than the MLE. Someone will bite.
WOW!!!! Beyond hopes and dreams.
So when does FA signing end, again?
No.. he'd probably sign a 2-year deal (maybe three) with player option(s). I believe he would look to find a good payday from a decent team next year or the year after; especially the year after.
Agreed. But we'll see. Maybe the Sixers and Warriors will go in different directions.
It starts July 9th.
Well, there are only 3 someones who can in the league. After that, it's the MLE.
Looks like most of his shots last year came off of jumpers and isolation. Almost an even split between medium range jumpers and 3's. Very little of those jumpers were the end result of a double in the post (Makes sense, with Brand out the Clippers did not have much of a post presence)
What throws me is that very little of his production came from him posting up. I had an image in my head of him consistently posting up smaller wing players, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Hope he can adjust to playing in a defined offensive set as opposed to whatever the Clips run.
Maggette will make the money up with endorsement deals with Time Warner and Taco Cabana.
point taken, spoke too early.
dang, i'm hoping corey M will take a pay cut to play for the SPURS. at least we know now that RC is doing something to upgrade the team.
the good news is that sixers have 2 and 3 positions filled (AI and T Young) and weak at PF. the warriors are also pretty filled at the 2 and 3 (ellis sjax, and will probably resign one of their 3 FA wings.)
Exactly.
he will be the lone endorser for HEB after he signs with the SPURS. he will eat the cake by himself, pull them carrots and eat it etc..
I'd feel better if it was Ludden instead of Wojnarowski, that guy's an idiot.
Imagine a world where Maggette and Beno make the same amount of money...
I think most of us need to take a step back and realize this happening is still a long shot.
