DTS may be the worst owner in professional sports. He is the Clips' permanent bad break, along with Elgin Baylor. That franchise is a royal joke.
i`m happy though for brand, he doesn`t deserved to be trapped there. he would look good with us. too bad we can`t afford him
The two teams are very different. The Knicks are dumb. The Clippers are cheap. In fact, they are the direct opposite. The Knicks foolishly spend money on players who are either selfish or don't play well together. They make shortsighted trades that give away their future and get atrocious contracts. The Clippers, on the other hand, always field a bunch of young talents. When these talents develop into good players and demand big money, they let them go or trade them away. Sterling has always been that. He does not care about winning. The team is just his money cow. The team always have promising young players to keep the fans interested. But they seldom seriously try to put together a great team who can win big. This is actually an ingenious business policy. If you are not good, you always get good draft picks and thereby keeping the roster promising. And young players are cheap.
Orlando Will Offer Maggette Mid-Level Exception If he was to go anywhere for the MLE, I guess it'd be Orlando. But I don't think that will get it done, really.
Do the Clippers have to renounce Maggette to have the cap space to sign B Davis without a Sign-n-Trade? ...and Boston throws an offer out to Maggette. Celtics make offers The Celtics have made contract offers to two forwards: Their own free agent, James Posey, and Clippers free agent Corey Maggette, sources told the Boston Globe. The most the Celtics could offer is the mid-level exception (about $5.8 million), and it's doubtful that they could sign both players. The terms of the offers were not disclosed. Posey averaged 7.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 2007-08 and was a NBA Sixth Man of the Year candidate in his first season with Boston. The two-time NBA champion was a strong leader for the Celtics and opted out of the second year of a two-year deal on Monday to become an unrestricted free agent. Maggette averaged 22.1 points and 5.6 rebounds last season for the Clippers and played for Celtics coach Doc Rivers in Orlando during the 1999-2000 season.
