Less than a week before the draft and the rumors of trades, complaining players, and the usual science has made its way to GSoM over the last few days. However, a few of our current players have been keeping quite busy in the offseason.
Looks like our main man Corey Maggette is getting some love at the Jimmy Kimmel show has he debuts his inspiring commercial about his dream.

In all honesty man, I'm a pretty huge supporter of Magg's game and his skills seeing as though he fit well as the 6th man...but about this dream is uh..I mean..well, I think the Sporty Thievs said it best.

I'm gonna be pretty upset if Maggs gets traded on the basis that he's about the pigeons.

Anyone see the newer Baron Davis commercial about energy or somthing? Looks like Jenny Craig’s doing her job, a lot thinner

Maggette's always kinda been a scrub

that's the point.
it’s supposed to not make any sense. it’s just silly comedy. i got a good chuckle out of that though.

scrub? Magette is potentially a best 6th man winner.
You may not like his contract, but the man can score a point/minute and create when nothing is there.

I would be down to trade Maggette if
we could get something of value for him. Unfortunately his value is soooo low, partly becasue of his contract, partly because he was injured and didn’t really have a good year. All we could do is dump him for scrubs.
There’s no rush to dump his contract. He’s not preventing us from anything, the team is obviously not looking to go after any free agents. Plus, Yes, he is a leading candidate to be sixth man of the year because he’s going to be the most efficient scorer in the NBA. Meaning he’ll score more points per minute than anyone else.
It would be dumb to dump Maggette. Wait it out. He is a perfect 6th man, if you’re a quality team, that why Boston and San Antonio wanted him so badly. Yes we are a quality team. Last year doesn’t prove anything. Quality NBA benches need people like Maggette. Don’t trade him with such low value, simply not smart

I dont like Maggs that much but i'm pretty sure he had a good year

Maggs had a pretty typical Maggs year. High scoring efficiency, good rebounding from a 2/3 type, not much passing or defending. He played in fewer games than he had in previous years, though I suspect some of that was that the Warriors shut guys down quickly when it was clear that they weren’t really going anywhere and would be better off doing the soft tank. I think that so much of the opinion of him was damaged by his early poor start and the stark contrast between the team’s performance the year before. If he’d immediately played like he was playing mid season, he wouldn’t be a great contract, but I don’t think he’d be getting as much hatred as he’s generated.

Word
His value dropped because he was expected to come to the Warriors and greatly improve on his 22ppg mark that he had the previous year. This is due to our style of play. I even remember reading a report, I think on ESPN, where someone said that Maggette would get to 27ppg. He got off to a really rough start, Nellie wasn’t sure where to play him or how to play him. Plus he got a nagging injury.
So Once his 3’s started falling and he settled into the 6th man role his game improved. I only said he had a bad year because he had a disappointing year. Thus resulting in his value dropping on the trade market. Combine that with his contract and he could only be traded in a dump move. There’s no need to dump Corey this year, in fact, he’ll be crucial to our success

I actually
liked maggs since when we signed him. sure he was frustrating to watch the first half of the season, but i stuck with him. He proved mostly everyone on this site wrong once he switched to 6th man. You can’t blame him for his contract, you blame the front office for his contract. Would you turn down 55 mill over 5 yrs (correct me if im wrong, which im sure i am), but i believe he had a shot to be 6th man of the year had he been at that role all year. P.S. my boy has some biggggg muscles, lady’s must be all over that son of a gun. lucky dude. peace

i think the Corey hatred is overblown, but i still want to trade him just so Nellie doesn’t have a small guy he can play at the 4 position (even though, according to the stats on 82games, he actually played a lot better at the 4 than he did the 3).

watch what happens when he enters the game
sure he scores his points, but always to the detriment of the team. in the bulls game; a 30 point swing(!) in the other direction in 20 minutes. against the hornets, we score 2 points as a team in 6 minutes, making what was a very good competitive start into a hornets blowout victory. these weren’t aberrations; he could never be a warrior if we expect to be competitive in any capacity. he is also a scorer that can’t shoot! same with crawford, and to a lesser extent, jackson. however, i do think he could be valuable on a different team…

Too many are enamored with his stats and don’t see the detriment that Mags causes the team. When he gets the ball, you end up having 4 guys standing there watching him ISO. He kills ball movement. People don’t understand that basketball players are human and have emotions. When someone is hogging the ball, it upsets the other guys on the floor and could make them give less of an effort, especially on D. Anyone that’s played even pickup ball will agree that they wont feel like playing hard if they are not ever involved on offense.

The great Corry M
Much luv out to Corry: he’s a good person as well as a great talent, I don’t get the Warrior fans, they cry all the time about bad drafts picks yada yada, then they get a guy who is one of the best drivers the game has ever seen year and year out and they run him down?
He had to feel his way on this team and did one heck of a job for us, if this kind of idiotic criticism continues the warrior fanatics will run off anyone from wanting to join this team in the future, when things were tough everyone was looking for a scrape goat, poor ol Corry got a bad rap:
Having said that ;= he better not be a ball hog (smiles)
