If we sign Brent Barry or James Posey, we risk overpaying them like we did with Radman and Luke, and then we'd be stuck with their big contracts (relative to their skill level). If Maggette doesn't work out, he'd be easy to trade at the MLE salary level. |
Agreed about him being a bargain. In the world where Kenny Thomas, Jerome James, etc, etc... get overpaid every year, this guy would actually deserve more than he would make if it's the MLE.

my guess from what i've seen is we haven't even called maggette
mitch and phil need to get off the LO, Pau, and andrew front line and realize lamar would be a dynamite back up PF
who stops that you rotate pau and andrew at center and lamar comes in and doesn't miss a beat whatsoever
1st quarter
andrew
pau
corey
kobe
fisher
2nd quarter
pau
lamar
ariza
sasha
farmar
3rd quarter
andrew
lamar
kobe
sasha
farmar
4th quarter
andrew
pau
corey
kobe
fisher
i mean c'mon the possibilities are endless |

You mean for the last three games of the year? Because he started 65 of the 70 games he played in. In those last three, he averaged 19-5-2, btw.

He was the reason why they lost to phx that one year... he came in and shot 2 unadvise 3 pointers and turned the rock over twice in a span of about 3 minutes. |
We get it. You don't like him. He's the Celtics' top target at this point, for full MLE. He must be doing something right. As for the bull rushing, it's effective. He's an 80+% shooter, averaged 22 points on 14 FGA, and that skill, the ability to get to the hoop is one of the two main reasons why we were thrashed in the playoffs. You don't seem to understand what LA needs.

posey is like rick fox
i love maggette and i think he makes us better but both do in their own ways
i think both could start for us
moving odom to the bench is our best option
we can run the entire 2nd unit offense through him
the only player that is 20 times better than posey is ron artest because he does everything corey maggette does offensively and everything posey does defensively but to top it all off hes 270 pounds of pure muscle
we need that guy |

it was an exaggeration and according to NBA.com artest is 250 and so is lebron
they are the same size

I don't see why anyone thinks that Posey will not resign with Boston. There's not 1 good reason why he shouldn't.
The Lakers primary move should have been to get Artest and be done. Too bad Artest's agent isn't worth his salt. |

Playing time as it is.
If Maggette is indeed tabbed as their top choice and Boston spends full MLE on him, they won't want to spend much on him, so money.
If playing time and money don't matter to you and you're in the NBA, who are you?

if terms of offense yes, but that's not what we need. we have scorers.
as phil and everybody knows, it's having a physical defensive presence around the perimeter. his ability to knock down the three is a bonus to spread the floor in the triangle.
maggette would be a gold puzzle piece that's nice and shiny, but in the end, it wouldn't fit.
posey is the silver piece that has a little dirt on it  , but fits in all the right places to the lakers puzzle.

Reportedly, the Celtics have offered Mags the full MLE, heres the tid bit from the Boston Globe:
| Quote: |
| An NBA source said the Celtics offered Magette the full midlevel exception, expected to be worth $5.8 million. The Celtics have made offers to their own forward, James Posey, and Maggette, but it's doubtful they can accommodate both. While there is no news regarding Posey, Maggette said he could be coming to Boston in the near future to visit with the Celtics. Free agents can't sign until Wednesday. Boston Globe |

Doesn't Boston have to use the MLE to pay Posey since they don't have his bird rights? I keep on reading how it's not likely they sign both him and Maggette. Well duh...it's impossible.

Sasha. If you turn all the attention to Maggs and fail, Sasha might bolt.

Maggs. If Sasha bolts I could care less. Go sign a Brent Barry of a Finley for one season at a discount, sign someone else with the rest of the MLE money. Try to find the next Posey instead of this one.
Then next year you replace one of those 9mpg geezers with your first round pick, saving close to 50m (including luxury taxes) over the next five years for a very important man. A certain Andrew Bynum... |

The newest news is that Maggs apparently is being considered by the Warriors. Since they've got the cash I have no doubt that they will certainly give him the 9-10m he can get on the free agent market. At that price he's gone. That's a 50% increase over the MLE.
He'd be a nice fit if Ellis can learn to play the point (Arenas did) as he'd fit at SG with Jackson at the SF spot. |

You just don't get it, I guess. I'm not sure whether you're not reading what everyone is saying or whether you see it and disagree. Maggette scores in a way that no one other than Kobe on his team can. He can get to the hoop, create shots for himself, and hit free throws. We lost against Boston because of three reasons: no offensive rebounding, no one could create a shot, poor perimeter defense.
Throw out game 6 as an anomaly because we were destroyed. LA averaged under 94 ppg (in fact, there it doesn't matter whether you include game 6) but gave up 96.6 per game. If you hold a team under 97 points per game, you should be able to win more than 2 of 5. LA failed offensively.
Look at it this way, during the NBA Finals, in how many quarters did the following happen to LA?
Held to less than or equal to 25 points? 18 times.
Held to less than or equal to 20 points? 10 times.
Held to less than or equal to 15 points? 3 times.
That's out of 24 quarters. The Lakers failed to score more than 25 points in 3/4 of quarters in the NBA finals, were held under 21 in nearly half of them, and had 15 or fewer in 1/8 of them. That's absolutely pathetic for a team that "has scorers" as you say.
LA has jump shooters who couldn't do crap because once Boston doubled Kobe, he wasn't able to get them good looks because he couldn't penetrate. You toss it to someone for a covered three or they run around and chuck up a bad shot trying to create when they don't have the ability. That's why LA lost.
Maggette gives the Lakers another guy who can create a shot. So when they go and double Kobe, and the ball comes to Maggette, he's not driving with three guys helping him against just three defenders. That's 4 on 3 for LA. If he can create 5 on 5, he's going to eat them up 4 on 3. That's the difference. That's what he brings.
I'm fine with Posey and I think he'd be a nice addition to the team, but Maggette brings the skill set the Lakers do not have, not even when Bynum is there because we still suck at post entry passing.

That in fact is a semi-decent argument to keep Odom in and of itself in that if Odom can redevelop his jump shot back to 2005 form (that lovely 37% mark) and lose weight as well as work on his lateral defense, we'll be just fine. Lamar while not a perfect fit, could at least force the Celtics to stop putting Paul Pierce on Kobe. Lamar while not perfect did at least put up good numbers in 2005-2006 at SF. It can work. T
he question is why are we messing around with the idea of can work instead of getting what will work? |

Getting a stand still shooter won't work because we had four very good shooters who can't create (I suppose Farmar can occasionally create, but Vlad, Sasha, and Fisher can't). Bombing from outside isn't the problem. Having Odom develop a distance shot isn't the problem. And if you're going to pin your hopes on Odom developing his game after how long he has been in the league and is still so passive when he needs to be aggressive, you're going to be disappointed, just like we were when he no-showed in the Finals.

I've been hammering this point across in many other threads. Glad to see someone else gets it.
I reiterate: HOW MANY TIMES LAST YEAR DID WE SAY.....ATTACK THE FRICKING HOOP?
With Maggs, problem solved. With a team full of spot up shooters, it'll be nice to have someone ELSE besides Kobe attempt to create a shot via a drive and either a) succeed, b) succeed and get an and 1, c) get fouled and go to the line.

Lakers management seems content to stand pat.
There's no real competition for either Sasha or Ronny...so expect them to sign sooner or later. We'll probably overpay slightly for both. Sasha will get the Luke Level Exception ($5 million per) and Ronny will get a $3-4 million per type deal that Cook signed a few years ago.
If Boston does sign Maggette, then maybe, just maybe, Posey is a Laker. Don't count on it though.
Maggette will probably go to SA and Boston will resign Posey.

Lakers management seems content to stand pat.
There's no real competition for either Sasha or Ronny...so expect them to sign sooner or later. We'll probably overpay slightly for both. Sasha will get the Luke Level Exception ($5 million per) and Ronny will get a $3-4 million per type deal that Cook signed a few years ago.
If Boston does sign Maggette, then maybe, just maybe, Posey is a Laker. Don't count on it though.
Maggette will probably go to SA and Boston will resign Posey. |
I don't think LA will give Sasha MLE money...
Maggette has only 2-3 options where he can get paid. Golden State, Philly, and Memphis.
Otherwise its strictly MLE. But he wouldn't start in Boston. And questionable if he'd start in San Antonio and LA.
Posey will stay w/ Boston. I agree, the Lakers will stand pat. |

As reported on ESPN, he is considering the offer from BOS as we speak!
