Corey sounds like he has one foot out the door already. EB seems iffy on whether or not he'll remain a Clip and it's good to know that Marcus, Nick, AL and Shaun will play in the summer league games.

Yup. He's been soundin' like that each offseason since Dunleavy came around...but every time, DTS has reeled our man back in. But I think big things could happen on the Maggette front this offseason.
Honestly, I'm more interested in Shaun Livingston's progress than any of this EB/Maggs contract stuff right now (the only reason being I don't think either will opt out). But if Shauny can't come back and play at least to his old form, it would be devastating to a promising career as well as our PG spot.

It is extremely unlikely that Livingston will be able to do that. He can't work out on back-to-back days and needs 90 minutes of therapy on the days he can workout. Check out the topic mkwest just created with links.

That's bad news, considering he hadn't been playing all that well before the injury. (not all his fault, he's just been a major work in progress for awhile now.)
In any case, I think the chances are pretty good we'll be able to bring him back at a reasonable salary for next year, and hopefully he can begin his recovery.

Ross and the Clippers are far apart in their negotiations and looks to be on his way out atm.
For those who haven't checked the rehab/injury thread, Powell and co. hope to have Livy playing 3-on-3/5-on-5 by the end of the month. He's very close to being able to participate in contact drills.
