Breaking News: Warriors sign Maggette

[peewee's lovechild]

This has been the tiest sports season for me.

[SenorSpur]

Brand is going to Philly.

What now about Davis? What's going on?

It's not clear yet, but Davis DOES apparently have the option to go back to the Warriors if he so chooses. Remember he opted to go to the Clip joint, in part, because he assumed Brand would be there. It'll be interesting to see how Brand's sudden departure will affect his decision.

Deals should start to become final by midnight tonight.

baron davis is going to be awfully lonely at los angeles.

[spurman20]

Brand is going to Philly.

Davis wants to go back to G State now since Brand ditched him

[Russ]

Hold the phone!

I just heard on ESPN radio, John Abbott (TrueHoop), that now that Brand has bolted to Philly, Baron Davis has the option to go back to Golden State. If that happens, that would have to affect the Maggette signing. This changes by the hour.

Quite the story if the whole Baron Davis to the Clips was an ironic feint by GS to get both Brand and Maggette from the Clips (as well as keep Baron).

(Just kidding).

[ShoogarBear]

Things are looking up for me. If Baron goes back to GS, my agent says the Clippers will be well under the cap.

Do I get any Vbookie Cash for calling my shot on July 2 ? Damn, I hate being right. This was just so obvious to me.

This is more hype than anything. I hate to rain on everyone's parade but Maggette is going to go to Golden State. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE $$$$.

I hope I'm wrong. BTW, is he that much better than JR Smith ? Seems to me that Smith, while extremely wild, attacks the basket with a vengance. He can also shoot the three. Maggette always seemed to lack fire or passion. Ah well, too many people in here are ing all over the place for the guy for me to be right.

I thought Smith would be the better FA pick up for all of his potential.

The bright side is that my old Clipper account rep may stop calling to try to get us to come back to the fold.

Yeah, it was really hard for someone to go out on the limb that a free agent would take the money first

You're a bad mofo.

[Spurtacus]

oh well. At least FA is a little more clear now...

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, it was really hard for someone to go out on the limb that a free agent would take the money first

You're a bad mofo.

No right?

[JoeChalupa]

I guess it is all about the benjamins. Then again it is a job.

[angelbelow]

damn it.

[BlackSwordsMan]

who?

[tmtcsc]

Quit being a hater...You don't know and your takes got owned: Hey MySpace Guy, go put a shirt on...

The other obvious fact is why should they overpay for Maggette if they can re-sign some combination of Pietrus and Kelenna for cheaper and add said signings to what they already have in Wright and Randolph? It'd cost them less and they'd have more players for Nellie to tinker with.

They are sitting at $33 million in salaries, and have to pay Ellis and Biedrins, both expected to be $10 million dollar guys. That's $53 million, lux tax at $70 million, and they have an owner who does not want to pay the lux tax.

They will make some moves, but they won't be reckless.

[DesignatedT]

if baron goes back to the warriors. then the clippers will just take azuibuke or jr away from us.......

[DubMcDub]

Davis is not going back to GS. Are you guys insane?

[tmtcsc]

No right?

yeah !!! Derrrr

[SequSpur]

maggette dropped 20+ a game..the spurs were stupid for thinking he would take 5-6 mill.. ...he got a good contract... the spurs are done.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Those posts were called being optimistic. I wanted us to get Maggette. Like LJ has said since the news of the Spurs being a suitor broke - our only hope was that GS, LAC, Philly, and Memphis all went other ways with their money.

GS didn't, and we didn't get him.

Someone get tmtsc a kluby.

[WildcardManu]

ing bull , I hope Davis bolts to join the Warriors leaving maggettes ass to take a paycut from the clips.

Jeff McDonald: Maggette sweepstakes appear over
It appears the Spurs' courtship of free-agent swingman Corey Maggette is over.

According to an on-line reports from the Los Angeles Times and espn.com on Tuesday night, Maggette has agreed to a deal with the Golden State Warriors. Golden State was one of the few teams with salary cap space to outbid the Spurs, and the Warriors seem to have done just that.

The Times reports Maggette received an offer for $50 million over five years from the Warriors. He and other free agents can officially sign a contract when the NBA's moratorium on free-agent signings is lifted at midnight eastern time tonight.

Now, the Spurs will turn their attention to Plan B, whatever that might be. The free-agent market for swingmen is already shrinking rapidly.

Also on Tuesday, Mickael Pietrus reportedly agreed to a deal with Orlando, and James Jones reportedly agreed to join the Miami Heat.
