Corey Maggette trade with the Rockets? Would you?

[McGrady2Head]

Would you guys even consider this trade...

Corey Maggette for our 2008 1st Round Pick, Bobby Jackson (Expiring Contract), Luther Head, and Shane Battier

Clippers would do it in a heartbeat, but the Rockets would never consider such a deal IMO.

For some reason Corey Maggette's value has skyrocketed across these boards in the last month. It's pretty awesome. I think having a very efficient scorer with no character problems is becoming more valued in the NBA recently. I wouldn't be surprised to see us get something very good in a return for CMaggz over the offseason.

No way Houston does this. I love it as a Clips fan, but true value is:

Corey Maggette = Shane Battier + Luther Head (or preferably Aaron Brooks)

[mkwest]

That's a bit too much from Houston's side but if they insisted I certainly wouldn't object. The Clippers would gladly take on Shane Battier for Maggette. We lose some scoring but we'd gain in pretty much everything else.

Excellent trade scenario!!

Get it done DTS/Baylor/Dumb Sr.

[JJ LoDuca]

Just like you all said, great trade for the Clips, but Houston is giving up too much. I'd even do it without the pick & B Jax.

[McGrady2Head]

wait a minute, let me get this straight, you would give up corey just for battier and head?

[ClipperDomination]

I agree with everyone, Huston is giving up way too much.

That's what's up. It's not that I think Corey is overrated, I appreciate what he brings to the Clippers, but what we need is a gritty Battier-type player who does the little things and some stability at the PG spot, which is what Head would bring. Corey's best asset is his scoring, and in a lineup already boasting Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, and Al Thornton (all potential 20ppg scorers), we really don't need him as much as we used to. Corey is a great player and I'd love to see him stick around, but the way I see it, trading Maggs for Battier & Head is an upgrade.

I thought if corey opts out this summer we will get nothing for him. Why we talking like were gonna trade him. if he opts out we get ****. i dont know if thats true or not. someone tell me wats up.

[loflin3hree5ive]

If Corey opts out, he can sign with any team. Thing is, it is unlikely that any team that can afford to give Corey a raise will actually have any interest in Corey. If Corey opts out and doesn't sign with another team, the Clippers still have the option of dealing Corey as part of a sign and trade deal which would allow the Clippers to get something for Corey even if he opts out.

Maggette's contract situation this year is similar to what the Clippers dealt with Marko Jaric when he was a free agent three summers ago, where we eventually used Marko as part of a sign and trade deal that landed the Clippers Sam Cassell.

I actually got it from mkwest when he had it, so I just copied and pasted the URL. Maybe try to look at the URL of my avatar and see if you can search around there.

I agree, without Brooks this deal could be possible, however, I am a big fan of Battier, this guy does his job, its some other players that need to go out of Houston

[KiDdFrESh]

I dont think the Rockets would trade Battier for Maggette. As good as Corey is... I think that would just be foolish on the Rockets behalf.
