Of course you do, you are praying he signs with your team so any shred of a rumor you find you cling to.
i disagree

how old are you 15?
when multiple sources reports are being given on the same story with the same outcome, then there is some truth to it.
sorry you couldnt get artest man
Figured you would show up ChumpDumper. You're quite predictable.
Of course I'd rather not see Maggette ending up on the Spurs or Celtics, but if it happens there is nothing I can do about it. No use in worrying about it. The Lakers are adding a healthy Bynum, Ariza, plus whatever free agent vets they can pick up this off-season. I'm confident we are adding more to our team than any other contender.
XtremeSteven there are just as many reports that say Maggette wouldn't mind playing for BOS, that he wanted ORL to make an offer to him, etc. that anyone can point out. You just ignore them and only focus on the rumors you want to hear. Anytime you hear "sources close to Maggette say" it means nobody really knows what's going on. Do you remember the KG rollercoaster last season? we all thought he was coming to LAL at one point, but BOS was his #1 choice from the get-go despite all the rumors.
i understand you point,
the fact is, multiple reports are stating that the SPURS are on top of his list right now. its not a matter of preception, just fact. now, is he going to sign with the spurs? im not God, i dont know the future but going by multiple reports given to the media, it looks as though the spurs are the front-runners.
No, multiple reports are stating he FAVORS the Spurs IF he doesn't receive any offers from teams that can offer him more than the MLE.
This could very well be just a ploy by him and his agent to drive up his asking price. Maggette has never been about anything other than money his entire life, it wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't change when this is all said and done despite what he may say.
I needed a good laugh.
As are you with the follwing rehashed drivel.
KG wasn't a free agent.Of course I'd rather not see Maggette ending up on the Spurs or Celtics, but if it happens there is nothing I can do about it. No use in worrying about it.

And really, why would we not react positively to reports Maggette might join the Spurs?
There's a chance it will happen, how big a chance is debatable but who cares?
I mean, you obviously care a lot to post this much about it on another team's board -- but why?
Rehashed drivel? You should change your username to that seeing as how you provide nothing to the discussion other than your usual dose of smart-ass comments.
KG being a free agent has no bearing on this discussion, which is about stupid media rumors. Unless of course your dumb enough to believe media rumors are different in regards to FA's vs. non FA players.
1. he favors the spurs not cause he wont recieve any other offers from teams, he favors them cause theyve been after him for awhile now. he can get good money and play for a championship
2.in his own words. he has said its not about the money this year. he said he has all the money he wants, now he wants to play for a championship.
You need to accept the fact that this board is filled with fans of other teams. If the moderators want this to be a Spurs-only board then they are doing a poor job of that.
I see you asking the same question to other team's fans you disagree with every single time. I'm here because of the low censorship and general quality of debates here that don't exist on most other forums. I don't have to deeply care about the Spurs organization to comment on some rumors that pertain to them.
Whoah there, easy now....You just added that part about having all the money he wants. He never said anything like that. He just said he'd like to win and that its not always about the $$...Which we all know...ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE $$..unless the $$ is the same AND you can win.
What have you added again?
Actually, your distortion of the KG situation speaks volumes about your own biases and general douchiness.KG being a free agent has no bearing on this discussion, which is about stupid media rumors. Unless of course your dumb enough to believe media rumors are different in regards to FA's vs. non FA players.
yea i was paraphrasing. im at work right now so i cant really put alot of thought into what i put.
im actually workin in the ER....haha
Fair enough, but you do seem to believe that you hold some sort of monopoly on knowledge about things like rumors of free agent signings. I'd suggest that if you're truly interested in quality debates, you'd recognize that a signficant number of posters around this forum have been through many long summers of rumor reporting. That some get excited about the possibility that a useful (coveted) player might join their team (and this is, after all, a forum populated mostly by Spurs fans) seems reasonable to me.
I don't think that most posters around here dispute your basic premise -- Maggette isn't a Spur (or anything else) until he signs on the dotted line. Your insistent efforts to strike at the rumors ignores the fact that the rumors keep circulating, which probably suggests that if Maggette is left with MLE offers only (and there are threads discussing why that will or should happen -- this one, even) his choice is likely to be San Antonio.
Your repeated insinuation that there's no truth to the rumors is either: (1) an effort to simply deflate Spurs fans (which leaves one wondering why another would be drawn to such an effort); or (2) an expression of concern that the rumors might have some merit and an expression of hope that the rumors simply are not true. Neither alternative leaves you looking particularly good.
By the way, isn't it time to do away with the "Gay/Love" stuff since they're on different teams and nobody will (seemingly) experience that at all this season?
May be, may be, but a Contract starting at 6 millions for 5 yeats is +30 millions contract.
Then, he can take, 30 Mthr fckr millions bucks and can play for a Championship too.
It is not Like when Karl Malone sign with the Lakers for a veteran Contract
I guess he's not too comfortable with Gay/Mayo?
Maybe it hits a little too close to home, like.....
HIS BACK!

NVM haha all they said was boston is making a push and orlando has dropped out of the race said the orlando sentinel.. and NOH is going after posey hard
Other teams don't want to wait around on Maggette which is good... less players now... just have to worry about 76ers and GSW now...
