If you can get a better player for less money, trade away. Not very likely.

Corey Maggette and his reasonable contract = Truth.

The rules of NBA currently favor Maggette's play, that is blasting by your opponent and taking it to the rim.

We need to maxime his potential, not trade him so we can watch him put up 20 ppg on us time after time.

we dont need to do anything. maggette is the one taking idiotic quick jumpers and flopping by throwing his arms up in the air every time someone reaches for the ball. he's the one who needs to do the maximizing. and if he continues not do the things that benefit the team, that i certainly wouldnt mind letting him go.

Exactly, someone needs to sit down with the man and force some sense into that headband wearing noggin' of his.

Ross should be coming off the bench cuz he is a liability on offense.(15 mins) Radman and Maggs are totally different players. Radman can play the 3 or 4 and has the ability to stretch defenses with his prolific outside shooting. Maggs is a slasher who gets to the line. There are plenty of minutes for the both of them since they both can play multiple positions.

Note that im not saying that Ross SHOULD start. Granted if he starts and we keep winning, i guess you have to go with it, but honestly if i was the coach i wouldnt have ross starting. But obviously were not the coach, and like i said, if the coach keeps ross starting, THATS when i would consider trading maggs (if vlad is resigned).

Everyone accuses you of hating Maggs cuz you always start up this trade talk after a bad game. You immediately want to ship him off for a bunch of crap. Swift is horrible. Did you watch any Rockets game? I had the League Pass so I watched at least 25 Houston games. Swift has no heart and is an idential twin of Wilcox. If Dun hated Wilcox I guarantee it Swift will be in the dog house.

Many of maggetees games this year have been bad, and i did not start threads right after that. I started it before the season when the pierce trade was being discussed, and during when the artest thing was being discussed, (you call that trading him for crap?) and whenever someone else would discuss trades. In this situation im saying id do this trade which is twice as much as has been discussed (how many articles are we seeing that say (not necesarily true) that the clippers would consider trading him for one pick). A lottery pick and an established presence. How is any of this hating on a guy? Ive proposed either trading him for superstars, or now, im proposing trading him for twice as much as anyone else is reporting the clippers want, and then ONLY if certain things happen (radman resigned, ross keeps starting, etc.). So please quit accusing me of hating.

If i was hating id say things like no matter what lets resign radman at any cost, lets trade maggette at any cost regardless of if ross starts, etc. etc. im not saying that. ive only seen swift in the national games. Is he great? no. But id rather him backing up than just rely on rebraca and his ailing heart. His contract isnt THAT bad. And wilcox at his worst still put up some numbers for us.

There are maybe 4 or 5 small forwards i'd rather have in his place and none of them are available to the Clippers.

he has far more bad games than good, especially when he thinks he is good and he starts shooting
or for instance that one game acouple years ago, when he tried to go one on one with Kobe hahah
that they kept going back n forth...cmon now Corey...you are no superstar....
the bad thing with Maggette now is...i think teams are gonna realize how much he sucks and they wont offer us diddly squat for him...

Let's just win game 6 and 7 and move the F***** on!

**yamaneko** · 05-17-2006, 02:48 AM

hes a bargain at his averages yes, but not as much when you take total points for the year compared to salary since he misses so many games. not as bad as tmac of course, but it just makes his salary that much less "bargainish" when you factor in the missed games.

DaFranchise · 05-17-2006, 08:15 AM

I dont know what to say....Maggs played horrible but he wasnt the only one. It looks like Dunleavy has hade enough of him and I would have to say that he will be long gone

Zuca · 05-17-2006, 09:05 AM

Maybe trade for a resigned Ostertag to replace the injury prone Rebraca, Najera and Utah and Denver 2nd rounders, with Maggs and Rebraca going to Utah and a resigned Harpring going to Denver... Just an idea... Or if you rather have a shooter, you can send Najera to NJ and get Nachbar from Nets...
