<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Don't hold your breath waiting for Corey Maggette to sign here. Joe Dumars has made the proper inquiries, but it's highly unlikely Maggette will wind up in a Pistons uniform. Maggette wants more than the mid-level exception, first of all, worth between $5.5 million and $5.8 million. If he "settles" for the mid-level, it sounds like his first choice would be Boston or San Antonio. His only real hope of getting more than that will be if Golden State fails in its bid to steal Elton Brand from the Clippers -- which seems likely.</div> The Detroit News
