No player has been more sought after or talked about this summer than Corey Maggette. Most of the teams who feel they have a legitimate shot at winning a le in the near future have talked about him being the missing piece that would put them over the top. The Orlando Magic were the most recent team to make a play, but teams like Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio have also been hot on his trail.
According to multiple reports this morning Maggette will, indeed, wind up in the Texas Triangle, and he could very well turn out to be the piece that gets his new team a championship. If all goes according to plan, Maggette will finally join the San Antonio Spurs, who were very much in love with him a couple of seasons ago when his last contract came up.
Maggette was not completely against returning to the Clippers, but behind closed doors it seems there was a mutual understanding that splitting the sheets was the best move. LA's move to steal Baron Davis away from the Golden State Warriors was the final indicator that Maggette's days in LA are finished.
For now, Spurs fans can start to think about Finals tickets once again . . .and get in line for your Corey Maggette jersey.
It won't be #50.
There goes any shot at Maggette.
On to JR Smith . . .
Yeah... my first reaction was. "Shiiiiiiiiiit"

A little too much qualifying in that article.
Hoopsworld is always spot on. I believe it.
It would be funny if Ingram actually got it right this time, and I hope that's the case, but then again, it's Bill Ingram.
Just keep your fingers crossed.
Death. Knell.
It wouldn't even really be a matter of "getting it right". All HoopsWorld does is either find or make up rumors and then present those rumors as fact. If it doesn't end up as fact, they delete the story and act like it never existed.
The Spurstalk reverse jinx runner-up strikes again...
Okay, not to fuel the fire but I heard that Pop was in San Diego yesterday talking to someone.
Maggette hangs in San Diego in the offseason (his wife is from there, he got married there, etc).
So ...
there is hope.....

This would be huge! I've always been a fan of Maggette's, but the possibility of losing Brent Barry hurts so bad.
Wine distributor?
There is always a first. Let's hope this is it.
i disagree TIMVP....yea im a big time skeptic, but i always believe there is truth to every lie.
this has to have some level of truth to it.
im about to have a heart attack if he joins us....
nice........at least the Spurs FO didnt waste their time going after JR
Unless Pop brought a briefcase full of "under the table" cash, I still think this isn't going to happen. Bill Ingram reads this forum for his stories. I really want him to sign here. If not, then do what you have to do to convince JR Smith to come over and sign. I don't think Denver would match.
We need a commitment from Maggette QUICK.
Spurs are said to be the front runners. Gambling on Maggette going to Spurs is the less risky bet to make.
Kinda like betting on Finley going to Miami.
"multiple reports" = SpursTalk.
I won't consider it officially dead until Peter Vescey confirms it.
Spurs don't need to do anything under the table. They can offer him the most he'll get if his options are limited to the MLE, plus they can offer him the opportunity to opt out in 2010 which will be a nice offseason for free agents and, of course, when the Spurs will have the flexibility to offer a max contract to a free agent themselves. Maggette's looking at the MLE not for the long haul but as a stop gap until he can become a free agent in a better summer for free agents.
Hoopsworld = Profootballtalk.com?
I'm not sure about the assertion that no player has been more sought after or talked about than Maggette. He might not be the most talked about free agent on Spurstalk.
Yeah, it makes them look good if they're right. They're awfully desperate for street cred, though. They're going to need to hit an awful lot to make up for the misses.
So... your saying there's a chance...
