Even as the possibility of losing Brand grew increasingly apparent Tuesday when the 76ers traded forwards Rodney Carney, Calvin Booth and a future No. 1 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves to clear cap space for Brand, the Clippers planned a scenario to sign and trade Maggette with the hopes of acquiring a power forward, said NBA sources who weren't authorized to comment about personnel matters.
Maggette, however, proved it's time to move onto plan C.
Within an hour of news hitting that Brand had neared an agreement with Philadelphia, news broke that Maggette was entering into a deal with the Warriors.
