The Heat has been in contact with the Los Angeles Clippers about a possible trade for swingman Corey Maggette, according to a league source. The Clippers forward has been on the trading block since last season, and the Heat has players that are in a similar salary range to Maggette, including James Posey and Antoine Walker. Maggette is under contract through next season with a player option for the 2008-09 season.

another link for the rumor

If they take Walker's extended contract. :drool

 

But I don't want Magette, I just want out from under Walker.

There's nothing wrong with Mags at all. Dude's a proven scorer and a good rebounder. I wouldn't mind getting rid of Walker and Posey since Wright has really taken over the role of 6th man. It'd pretty much be Maggette and Wright for Posey and Walker. We'd lose some 3 point shooting but gain tons of quickness. I like it, that's what our team needs.

Posey has great defense and without posey we have no outside shot though on the team.

 

Wade becomes the primary 3Pt shooter?

J-Will, Kapono, Wright. Does it really matter at this point? We're last in the league in scoring so you can throw all that "outside shot" stuff out the window. Riley doesn't like the 3 anyway.

Contractwise, Walker and Magette are pretty similar (we can opt out of Walker's after 08-09, Magette has an option for 08-09)

 

But whatever it takes to get rid of Walker, if it means going after Myron Piggie's best friend, I'm all for it.

Do it. I think I'd trade Antonie Walker for Brian Grant. Yes, the retired Brian Grant and his awful contract. I can't stand Walker.

The biggest question is who would actually trade for Walker.

Isiah Thomas ?

I like Posey, but it's not like there's no three point threat without him. Kapono and Williams can both shoot threes, and Wright/Wade do from time to time.

the rumor seems to be for one or the other so pretty much the idea is dump walker (please please please). Rather keep posey over him.

LOL @ Clipper fans wanting Posey, Wright AND a 1st rounder for Maggette.

Are you f***ing kidding me? Oh hell no. The main reason Posey is being discussed is because of Wrights play. Why the hell would we trade Posey AND Wright? AND A FIRST ROUNDER? Crazy a**holes.

Walker for Maggette? haha nice joke.

 

Posey for Maggette would be a good deal for the Heat.

Here is my proposal.

Heat Get:

F Corey Maggette

G Shaun Livingston

2nd round pick in 2007

 

Clippers Get:

F Antoine Walker

F Wayne Simien

1st round pick in 2007

Thanks, that was a good laugh.

Why in the Hell would the Clippers get rid of their future PG for a young unproven PF when they have Elton Brand? That's a huge step backwards. Worst trade proposal ever.

id definetly throw in wright of we could get livingston, but that will never happen.

In that case, I'm gonna go ahead and veto your application to be a Heat fan.

I wouldnt move dorell wright at all.

What is wrong with what Juanpierre said?

Nothing, the only untradable player that we have is D wade. Wright is gonna be like a rashard lewis/ tracy mcgrady type player. Livingston has great passing vision, good man on man defense, is 21 years old, and he is a 6-7 point guard. The only comparible player to livingston's potential is Magic or the big O

I'm a fan of Livingston too, but the problem is that he hasnt made the jump yet. He has the potential to be a great PG but isnt any better now that he was 2 years ago.

Well, neither has Wright. Yeah, Wright can rebound better but that's about all he's done. And would he be rebounding so well if he didn't grow that inch and a half? Probably since he has some long ass arms but so does Livingston. They have a lot in common. Both 21, they were in the same Draft Class, both out of High School. With that said, I'd rather keep Wright. He's played way less and has shown much more potential. If Livingston doesn't improve quickly, he could be the next Kwame Brown.

Dorell Wright has injected a type of energy and confidence in this starting lineup that really helps the team. His athleticism is evident and his shot is getting better (probably because of Spoelstra, aka the next Heat head coach). I would not give him up at all right now. He's finally getting a chance and doing something with it. He JUST turned 21 and has nothing but bright lights ahead.
