Corey Maggette? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">During the Magic's West Coast trip, L.A.

On RealGM, they said Hedo would likely have to be involved. I love Maggette, he was my favorite player on the Heart and Hustle year as a rookie and I hated getting rid of him, but he doesn't spread the floor like Hedo does. I would be against a Maggette for Hedo straight up trade. He is also injury prone. If we deal Hill instead and get a filler(Like maybe Rebraca), then I'd probably be cool with it.

Doesn't make much sense to me... (And I wouldn't trade Hedo either )
I wouldnt mind having Corey but Ariza is gonna become a very nice player for us. Just think about it, our starting lineup could have 3 years of experience together and still only avg 24 years old... that is amazing... Im up for getting rid of garrity...
seriously hedo sucks..the only i player on that magic that seems not have skill besides garrity... maggettee is amazing..i hated to see him go..def a guy that could help us a lot and his contract isnt too high which is a plus
Hedo is underrated, he's having a slow start but he will pick it up. If he can get back to the level he was playing at last year he will be a scoring machine. I definately wouldn't trade Grant he is our "glue"

I would want to see if we can sucker out Garrity and maybe some filler for Corey, that would be sick.

Successful Scenario Due to Orlando and L.A. Clippers being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Orlando and L.A. Clippers had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.</div> Well?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orange County Register - On Tuesday, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said that a deal regarding Corey Maggette or any other Clippers player was not imminent. "I don't feel we need to do anything, unless there was an opportunity we couldn't pass up that presented itself," Dunleavy said.</div> Guess not
Obviously i'm a huge Magic fan... but since i'm here in LA i'm also a big clipper fan... I also have a buddy that has been a Clipper fan since FOREVER... he knows his ****... that being said, everyone in LA loves maggette, but wouldn't mind him leaving. I myself have a maggette jersey and i've always been a fan of his... but he isn't a player that we should give too much up for. He makes a lot of bone head plays and he (as mentioned above) is very injury prone.... hasn't really put together one full season yet. There is something fishy about a player that has been in talks about trades for over a year already. wait for VINCE.

Hedo is probably the better jump shooter, but maggette can essentially come in and do the same thing shooting the ball, maggette also rebounds better and gets to the free throw line more consistently.

We need someone that can and do willingly set up behind the 3 point line and jack up and make a good percentage of 3's. Hedo is that guy. I think Maggette is probably a better all around player and is way more athletic then Hedo, but I just think Hedo fits into our system more of trying to spread the floor. He is basically our only consistent jump shooter that we have right now. JJ and Diener won't get enough minutes when everyone comes back to count in this.
<div class="quote_poster">TwinTowers Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Well?</div> Sounds good to me. Garrity for him would work. We need a player who actually steps onto the floor. Anyways, I would trade Hedo for Corey in a heartbeat. I hated when we let him leave before. If we get him, Dwight would only improve more. The thing is that Hedo is a streaky inconsistent player. Don't get me wrong, sometimes Corey can be bad but still having him would be great. We could do this: Arroyo and Garrity for Corey Maggette. That works out. Also, Garrity and Turkoglu for Maggette and Rebraca also works. Either one would be fine with me. Garrity's involved in both.
Why would they do the Arroyo and Garrity one? They already have Livingston and Cassell, no need for another PG.
I know they wouldn't do it. I wanna do it though. LOL Well, Cassell is getting older and needs to return to his home planet soon.
Maggette would make the Magic contenders. Hedo hasn't played as well as expected so throw in a few more players along with Hedo and the Magic will be even better.
