    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Corey Maggette only played 17 minutes in the Clippers' loss to the Knicks on Tuesday night and voiced very strong criticism for Mike Dunleavy following the game.

    "It's just more of Dunleavy's [stuff]again," Maggette said. "I don't get it, I really don't. It's crazy. I put in work. I deserve to play.

    "It's totally mind-boggling to me. [It's] unbelievable that I couldn't help this team tonight. Why? Why?"

    In January, Donald Sterling came out and said that things had cleared after an impromptu meeting between Maggette, Sterling, Elgin Baylor and Dunleavy.

    "He isn't listening to Sterling," Maggette said of Dunleavy. "If he listened to him, I'd be playing.

    "I really felt we were [past this]. I guess not, because here we go again. I'm a yo-yo, man."</div>
    Maggette is their second most talented player at this point, he needs to play. I don't understand why he's not getting the minutes either. Sure, I'm not in the Clippers locker room every day and I don't know exactly is the real beef between Maggette/Dunleavy, but the guy needs to play. I can't wait until the trade deadline, hopefully he'll have a new home by then.

    This is really getting ugly. On one hand you have the owner, general manager, etc. who all want Maggette to stay with the team and get some playing time. However the coach, who they recently signed to an extension by the way, isn't utilizing him. He's asked for a trade, yet Baylor doesn't want to trade him... so Maggette is stuck sitting on the damn bench.They all need to sit down together and get to the bottom of it. Dunleavy needs to tell Maggette, Baylor and Sterling why he isn't utilizing him. If they can't come to a conclusion together, one of them needs to go (either Maggette or Sterling).

    Very puzzling. I could understand if the Clippers were doing great, but that's not the case. I hate to see such a talent rotting on the bench. I wish Riley would make a stronger push at getting him for us, but if you have a GM Baylor who doesn't want to deal, there's nothing you can do. Like BigMo said though they're gonna need to get to the bottom of this somehow.
