    Brand seems like a risky investment. It will be interesting to see what he gets. Would love to see Magette come here in a sign and trade.

    Maggette's not a pipe dream, he's only going to command a 10-12 mill salary, which is definetly doable.

    Sorry for double post but just to clarify, it's doable in a S&T...Jackson+Battier as an example, that's about 12 mill of outgoing salary.

    You guys are too scared of Brand. I would trade Landry, Scola, Brooks, and whatever contracts necessary in a sign and trade. Can the Warriors use their 10mil exception to sign Brand? That would be fun...

    Maggette is doable, but most likely won't (Probably going to Orlando). Brand is just a pipe dream (Probably going to Philly, or just resigning for a longer contract), but it would be really nice to watch a "McGrady-Brand-Yao" big three though.

    if any of u read a column on chron.com a couple of months back, I think it was feigen or blinsbury cant remember which one, but it was an article on our free agent options targets. In it it concluded..that our best chances are the following 3 players in this order:

    Corey Maggette
    Ramunas Siskauskas
    (and I think the third was Mickael Pietrus)

    Guess he was right that Corey is gonna opt out...

    now I also really want to believe that he is our no.1 target this summer...and he will be signing with us...

    btw antawn jamison got a 4 year 50 million deal at Washington
