It could happen after Maggette on Sunday volunteered to come off the bench for the remainder of the season. The morning after his 23-point, 12-rebound performance in a victory over the Phoenix Suns, Maggette surprised Coach Mike Dunleavy in a private meeting during practice, saying he thought the move would be in the best interest of the team. Maggette previously expressed reservations about accepting a reserve role, but he told Dunleavy his thinking had changed. Dunleavy eagerly accepted Maggette's offer and committed to giving the seven-year veteran a prominent role in the offense. Maggette has been frustrated with his standing on the team, many in the organization said, but his acceptance could help things improve. "It's about winning, it's about the team, so I told him to let's just do this," Maggette said of his conversation with Dunleavy. "It's not about the coach and our personal whatever we're going through, it's about my teammates and wanting to help them out. It's just better for the team this way."</div> Source
I'm very proud of Maggette for putting the team above himself, and this should help the team a lot. He's been doing very well with the second unit, and he's getting his shots.
It's offishal: Corey's da Clippers' 6th man. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do... Corey's All Star Mission to Vegas won't be easy at all. But like the LA Silver Bullet said: "It's about winnin', it's 'bout the team, so I told coach, let's jus' do this!" "It ain't 'bout the coach and our personal whatever we're going through, it's 'bout my teammates and wantin' to help 'em out. It's jus' betta fa da team this way..."
