Maggette likely to be dealt for draft pick...

[Kings113]

ESPN - Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that sources have informed him the Clippers are likely to seek a trade involving Corey Maggette for the best draft selection they can acquire in return, most likely from a team such as Chicago or Atlanta, who will have a lottery pick, as well as salary cap space.

The thinking behind dealing Maggette is that Donald Sterling will be more willing to spend the money to re-sign Sam Cassell and Vladimir Radmanovic if Maggette's salary is shed.

Bulls would get that big SG they've been needing for awhile now.

i would not go after maggette if i were the bulls. he is an athletic player who had a severe injury that usually does not completely heal and susceptible to repeat. plus, i am not sure whether he fits the hustle on defense, share on offense style of play that skiles is trying to install.

They're going to trade Maggette to keep Radmanovic?

Just when I thought that Sterling had turned over a new leaf; this guy doesn't deserve to be the owner of a playoff team...

I don't know why anyone sane would do that ... Maggett has played really well in these playoffs too, I don't get it at all.

Complete windfall for the Bulls if it happens. Could be a major step toward becoming a contender for them.

Clippers have to use the MLE to sign Vlad Rad right? Because Seattle traded him he renounced his rights I think.
