I don't really think he helps them that much.

Corey Maggette is a detriment to any team who wants to play winning basketball.

Maggette is underrated. This guy quietly put up a career PER of 18 in 12 season in the NBA. 12 seasons! That's consistency.

I think they are a lot better in my opinion. Clippers could really use the extra scoring punch at high efficiency. Corey averaged .580 TS% to .600 TS% in any given season. Better than Wade and Kobe.

I would start him at the 2 and Butler at the 3 though.

Maggette is a guy who puts up empty stats.

Corey Maggette has been on one winning team in his whole career and that was when he missed more than 50 games that season. Playing Maggette at the 2 may be one of the worst ideas ever concieved in RealGM history. Maggette has awful handling and is a complete blackhole who can barely pass.

We'll give them current Corey Maggette at a very reasonable price.

lol just imagining at the Clipper flopping/FT count and the number of threads whining about the clippers after each game.
