is he a good fit for the team ?
do you think maggette could fit in to this team?
what would it cost to get him?
i would say a maybe on the fitting in part, but he's ability to get to the F/T and hes defense would be a big help.
the cost i dont see gsw letting go of him for cheap maybe a combo of bayless/rudy or bayless/trout/and next years first round pick.
iif we could get him for bayless/trout/and the 1st it would leve us some cap space to sign b.bass to 5.3mill a year deal. what do you guys think of this one.

Wow...NO
I live in San Francisco and watch Golden State…He is a cancer. He plays 0 defense. In fact, he plays negative defense, since his team already plays no defense. He is a black hole on offense, which is why he comes of the bench, so he doesnt have to pass to the other lesser players and it doesn’t matter. He just blindly drives at the rim and waits to be bailed out by the refs. In that sense, he’s a good addition since he would get us easy buckets at an astronomical rate, but he doesn’t do ANYTHING else. And, in the long run, he will hurt our offense more than he helps it. Think a multiple of Trout and Zach Randolphs tunnel vision, with only the ability to barrel at the rim without abandon. He can’t pass because his tunnel vision doesn’t even allow him to see the 3 defenders he just plowed into.
To make long story short…no, please, pleeease no.

Everyone is forgetting the most important reason
He injures Greg Oden! We should be signing a restraining order with Maggette, not a contract.

Agreed!
As Rudy could have said: “Despite his stalwart appearance, Corey Maggette apparently has hollow bones! There is no other explanation for how dramatically he plummets to the ground after the lightest of touches. Without calcium supplements, a compounded fracture is in his near future.” (Posting here.)

He's real expensive
Injured a lot, a HORRIBLE defender (aside from the gimmicky ticky tacky fouls he was able to get on LMA that one game), a huge ball hog, a stat padder, and a generally not very smart player.
Golden State would LOVE to move him, if they could.
He doesn’t have a good jumper either.
His positives is that he has nice looking biceps, and gets to the FT line a lot. A good penetrater who is pretty strong, obviously. But, he is where ball movement goes to die.
I don’t like him as a Blazer. He is a classic example of a good-stats-on-a-bad-team type player.

Yes
Golden State would love to move him. But they suck at gauging the value of players anyways. They let Baron (the only reason they made the playoffs) and Gilbert walk. They WAY overpaid Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, and Jason Richardson. They just gave Stephen Jackson a REDICULOUS extension…any player they sign in free agency is likely overpaid…vastly. Maggette is the poster-child of this.

Isn't his contract ugly?
I don’t mean $10M per year for Bargnani ugly, but ugly none the less.
by 52therim on Jul 8, 2009 1:27 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
He earns almost the same exact amount
Call me crazy, but Bargnani is a decent player that picked up his game once he got some burn after Sam Mitchell was fired. He can shoot threes, block shots, and guard both forward positions. He can’t rebound or play Center all that well, but at seven feet he has a pretty unique skill set.
Corey Maggette can only drive to the lane with tunnel-visiond and can guard neither forward positions.

Corey Maggette is a one-trick pony, with that trick being his ability to draw fouls.
Last season, Maggette drew a foul on over 20% of his field-goal attempts; that’s an astonishing number for a perimeter player. Along with Allen Iverson, Maggette is one of the most selfish basketball players in the NBA. So, even though I think off-court chemistry is nonsense, there’s no denying that on-court chemistry important. Maggette, without question, disrupts on-court chemistry, which means that any discussion about him is a no-go from the get-go.

Ah, it's no big deal.

yea
don’t worry about it. I just wanted to make sure all the people who didn’t know…now know. He is awful. GS being my 5 favorite team …(my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favorite teams are the Portland, Trail, and Blazers respectively, followed by the Cavs ) I have watched them shoot themselves in the feet with a plethora of weappons, from harpoon guns to 9mm’s to magnums. They have used Ak’s, Sk’s and everything in between, so I just disregard their moves as idiotic now. Hence my extensive knowledge of Maggette as one big SUCKY player

I liked what I saw against us
I have been thinking about wide-bodied threes. It sounds like the consensus is no, though.

I don't know if he fits out culture
I mean, his nickname is “bad porn”….that says it all.

Are there any other random names anyone would like to raise?
Maybe we could have 10 or 15 Bedgers randomly start sidebar posts for every player in the league in alphabetical order. We could assign times for each so that we could have a steady flow of excellent reading material.
I’ll start!

I was wondering where it went
I remember last year when you had to take a leave of absence, that I though you were crazy. It’s the only time I’ve ever been wrong on Blazer Sedge.

Ha ha, I don't have any idea what might have caused you to think that...

Because he's a no-defense ball-hog?
and I thought we couldn’t get worse than the “trade Outlaw and a bag of Doritos for Wade/LBJ/CP3” post.

Don't forget the "expensive" part of "no-defense ball-hog"...

Maggette? lololol

Not a good idea.
I think his basketball IQ is suspect and he’s kind of a ball hog. And he can’t play the 4. The Blazers can get by with Batum as a starter. His offense is due to improve. Unless the small forward is someone like Gerald Wallace, a combo 3/4 is the way to go for this team if they sign a 3 at all.
Bass is looking like a good match.

I want him just because Mike Rice would hate it so much.
