He just needs more time to settle in and mesh with this new young team. He’s been on the clippers for too long playing the way he does, and he needs time to change. It’s not his choice to play the 4, so I expect him to not get that many rebounds with an evidently taller 4 battling it out with him. He does put up some questionable jumpers, but he’s a smart player and knows what he’s doing wrong. I think he just needs some time….

Maggette just may be better served a sixth man option. That may end up being the case when Ellis returns, but I think Maggette is better for this team than Crawford is. I like Crawford and everything, but I I think what he brings to the table is already here. We have a streaky scorer in Jackson and scoring is clearly not the problem with the team. Maggette’s mindset of getting to the hoop and getting to the line is great for the team. It may rub off on some guys to the effect of instead of shooting a jumper, they can actually take it inside and get to the foul line.

maggs is terrible for this team…he is all about ISOS…which is the CURSE that has made us worse and worse…NO MORE ISOS, he ISOS more than sjack does when sjack is playin poorly

id rather have a defesnive player in always rather than maggs, maybe wright or randolph getting more PT if maggs wasnt around!

its still early in the season for the most part. and before a team starts winning, they have to learn how to win. we have the youngest squad in the league. they just have to learn to win. theres only 4 players on our roster that have 4 or more years of experience on the team. and maggette is playing out of position with taller players going after rebounds. just give the team time. dont use maggs as the scapegoat. in my eyes the only scapegoat that we should be pointing fingers at is rowell and cohen. i know the season has been frustrating so far, but dont hit the panic button yet. just give them time

sorry but he has to go. maggette just doesnt fit this team in any aspect. he doesn’t pass, he’s not the best leader, he bricks/airballs a lot of shots. he seems like he’s playing his own game within the basketball game…he’s just not sitting well with me. he doesn’t seem like the “best” teammate. trade maggette while he’s still valuable he’s the odd man out of the rotation. he’s not a 4 but that’s the only available spot left. i say, while we still have him (until december 15) though…to bring him off the bench. have a starting lineup of Watson/Crawford/Jack/Turiaf (Wright)/Biedrins. The main purpose for this is so Crawford, Jackson, and Biedrins can get their offensive game going. The difference between Crawford and Jackson opposed to Maggette is they actually PASS the ball to Beans. When Maggettes on the court with Jack and Crawford at the same time, it feels like there is a minor competition on who gets enough touches/shots and what not…leaving Biedrins completely out of the picture. in my opinion, in order to be successful and more efficient (not getting to 3-point friendly), Biedrins needs to be in the offensive game a little bit more than he is. When Ellis returns our lineup could hopefully look like this

Ellis / Crawford / Jackson / (Whoever we can get for Maggs)(Turiaf)(Wright) / Biedrins.

I like his play. He was brought in to take it to the basket and get to the FT line more. He is doing exactly what was asked of him. Could he improve his passing, absolutely, but then so could Stack. I still cannot believe how many turnovers he has!

Give the guy a break, geting sick of fricking Armchair experts jumping all over a guys back when he has not even been properly playing for our squad for 3 months!

Way too many trigger fingers here!

The team is getting better, I along with some really liked the Crawford trade, then when things didnt hapen fast enough, the bitching about him started, including from upper echelons of GSOM.

Suddenly he hits the type of numbers many of us knew he was capable of and now it seems everyone is singing his praises.

You lot can be the most fickle bastards I have ever come across, your worse than Manchester United fans.

huh?

…when management traded Baron for Mags and some fans actually said it would make us better?

…how Mags gets to the line and will help finish off close games in the 4th quarter?

Don’t get me wrong. He still gets to the line but his O-minded game has never translated to wins before and it certainly is not now that he’s here.

For someone with his physical gifts, there is no excuse to not be a better defender.

had a dunk pretty much blocked at the end of a crucial game by CHRIS QUINN. so what if was fouled, CHRIS QUINN is 6’2" 175 pounds of pure scrub, and he touched maggettes hand and he missed a dunk. there is no fire in this guy as seen by his complete lack of facial expressions during games unless he it complaining about a call. his selfish statement at the beginning of the year where he referred to himself and jax as 20 points scorers and made it seem like beans was just lucky that night to get 20. he sucks get him out of here, at least out of the starting lineup where he ruins everything. no trade ideas, just get him out of the mix and play wright.

But Im sure a 50 million dollar sixth man doesnt sit(pun) well with anyone especially the 50 million dollar man. With Ellis coming back who do you sit? It would have to be Magette by default, cause he is horse shart at the 4.

is good but i know what you mean. it would be nice if they could trade maggette and randolph/azubuike to the bobcats for j-rich. if i were chris mullin i would make some offers that include maggette to get j-rich back. i thnik it could be possible if the warriors threw in randolph or buike.
