What a joke of a front office, Spurs. Letting a guy like this go. Now we're stuck with Roger friggin Mason.
Corey Maggette is averaging 19.7 points per game, but his somewhat selfish play hasn't gone unnoticed by other players.
According to sources, after the final buzzer against Boston, Kevin Garnett turned to Maggette and shouted, "Way to get your numbers."
"He just puts his head down and goes to the basket," an Eastern Conference scout said. "He doesn't even look to pass."
Team sources tell SI that the Warriors are already regretting signing Maggette to a five-year, $50 million deal last offseason.

I'd like to take this opportunity to be a jerk and ask that folks who post these RealGM blurbs link the original source, as there is often a lot more information to be had there.

LMAO at him being a chucker on the Warriors somehow being a problem.
Cory is not a point guard he is a shooting guard-forward. If you go to his past years stats he only averages 2-3 assist per game. Didn't the Warriors know what they were getting or were they just trying to stick it to the Clippers for signing Davis?
Maggette is a ballhog ... but he's always been a ballhog. His value is his world class ability to get to the free throw line.
That said, I think the Spurs lucked out by having Maggette turn them down and get RMJ. Out of all the possibilities including Maggette, Azubuike, JR Smith, etc. ... I think the Spurs ended up with the right guy, especially when considering the contracts.
i would still take maggette for 5 million for 2 years.
What is that, like 18 swingmen who can go one and one and do nothing else, like pass, play defense, etc? And they ed their cap space to get him? Good. them.
What a hypocrit...
i doubt KG actually said that... Maggette is not a small european guard that he usually picks on
Good point, actually.....
I'll have to wait to see how RMJR does with a healthy lineup, in some situations being a ball hog isn't bad, especially when you have a team that can go half a quarter sometimes without scoring...
Make no mistake about it. Maggette > Roger Mason Jr.
Better player per se? I guess.
Better fit on the Spurs? Meh.
Make no mistake about it. Mason's hunger for winning > Maggette's.
Maggette's salary > Mason's
Maggette's chemistry right now <<< Mason's
Not sure how you come up with that? Care to elaborate?
That's true. That has pretty much absolutely nothing to do with what I said, though.Maggette's salary > Mason's
The warriors are a team in disarray. They're a team made up of gunners. What do you expect the chemistry to be like?Maggette's chemistry right now <<< Mason's
So true your wise words on contracts. Seem like everyone neglects to consider the importance of contracts when deciding to pass on a player....or offer him a conract.
Nelson looked like a genius 2 years ago and looked how ed up that situation is now. What are they doing with that team? They had the pieces in 2007 and let them all go.
Boo freakin' hoo. If you sign Maggette, you have to know what you're getting. Did they expect something different from him? He can be a useful player, but he is what he is.
Might have worked out o.k. in SA as a bench player, the kind of guy who can play 8 or 10 minutes a half and fill it up.
maggette leading the Spurs second unit, um, nevamind. Thanks for not coming it frees us up to make a run at someone who will actually benefit the team beyond 1 or 2 years because he was probably not going to buy into the Spurs especially after this season and would probably have been shopped
But they've always been a team of gunners. Dissaray comes from losing baron davis and gaining >mason...i mean, magette. Where has magette won before?
Sure. Mason played a big role on the Wizards and could have held out for an offer from them before he jumped ship. He didnt.
Maggette would've left 4 million a year on the table, but if he really cared about winning, 5.8mil a year can feed the family and is worth about 7.5mil in CA. TX is better on taxes, as well.
What i say may have nothing to do with what you say. Its still a fact.That's true. That has pretty much absolutely nothing to do with what I said, though.
You didn't read the article in the OP? His gunner teammates don't even like him.The warriors are a team in disarray. They're a team made up of gunners. What do you expect the chemistry to be like?
You are just ing and whining.
