When free agency began, the Detroit Pistons had no intentions of using their full mid-level exception for one player.
But the Pistons might have a change of heart, especially if they have a chance to land a player such as Corey Maggette.
Maggette, a 6-foot-6 swingman, has made it clear he's willing to consider accepting the mid-level exception, which is expected to be worth about $5.8 million.
Although he was expected to re-sign a more lucrative deal when he decided to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Clippers, that all changed when Golden State's Baron Davis unexpectedly opted out of the final year of his deal, and agreed to a five-year, $65 million contract with his hometown Clippers.
nahihilo na si maggete. mabuti nde pa interesado sa kanya ang lakers, pag nag ka ganun, mahihirapan xang mamili ng team... mabenta xa ngaun kasi, nde na kalakihan ang hinihingi nya despite sa talent nya..
@newbie, na maverick fan, kung magsalita ka parang wala namang magandang nagawa si avery sa team nyo.. tandaan mo na xa ang nagdala sa maverikcs sa nba finals... anyway, mukha ngang may pag-asang mkabalik ang mav sa top 4 dahil sa pagkuha nila kay carlisle...
@Manu, I don't think Maggette will join the Spurs. His style doesn't fit, his style is exciting while Spurs are boring. lol.
@jaggler, I maybe a newbie here but I'm a veteran as a NBA fan. lol.
Do you want me to tell you why the Mavs went to the finals? It is not about Avery, it only shows how good my man Dirk is. Dirk brought the Mavs to the Finals even with bad coaching. He stayed professional even if Avery made JHo the superstar of the team. Avery just wasted 3 prime years of Dirk.
Mavs is still the best team in NBA. We have the full support of the owner who is not afraid to lose. We are still in playoffs inspite with bad coaching. Like I said, this season will be brighter for men in blue. Spurs can not match with us. Lakers can not defeat us. We own the Nuggets, Jazz ang Rockets ass.lol.
^^tanong ko lang..di kaya LOL_Pet din ito si Mavs kasi mahilig sa lol eh
@Newbie, that was last 2 years but Spurs was defeated on OT in game 7 so I think I can consider that one as fluke .
As what I remembered also, this was the start of the choking of your team. Up 2-0 and in Game 3 Mavs were up by double digit until 3rd qtr and then suddenly your team not only gave up that game but also the next 3 games. d best team talaga
I think the reason why you still remember that season because you can't still believe that my Mavs beat your boring Spurs. lol
I am still hoping that JHo will be traded. Josh Howard has been way over his head in the last three years. I can't really blame him though.. Avery made him believe he's a superstar.
Two nuts cases with over sized egos. One is gone already and the other one will follow
@ mav fan... pano m nasabing ginawang star ni avery johnson si j-ho
2005-06, mas mataas ang point average ni dirk ka josh
2006-07, mas mataas ang point ave ni josh kay dirk pero cnong MVP dun db c dirk
2007-08, bumaba average ni josh...
ano cnabi mo? nde matatalo ng lakers ang mavs? baka nananaginip ka lang.. cguro nung 2006-07, pwede pa, pero ngaun, may kobe na, may gasol, may bynum, may odom, baka mabokya pa ng lakers ang mavs...
I really love this thread. First, a Jazz fan then a Spurs Fan and now a Lakers fan. lol
Dreaming? Geez. Lakers can't beat the Mavs with bad coaching and I don't expect them to beat my team with good coaching. Phil Jackson is over-rated. He won championship because the team was already made to win. He was schooled and punked new-comer Doc Rivers. Your star Kobe is a choker. When the game is on the line, he will quit. What a superstar indeed.lol

Lakers Fans I just want to share with you quotes from your superstar - Kobe
"When I asked if I could cum in her face, she said no"
"That's my thing, not always, I mean, so I stopped"
"I said um, give me a blow job, um, and then....kiss it.....she gave me a blow job."
"Whatever I need to do without making this thing become public, I will do man. I don't care what it is man, I will do it"
"I asked if I could cum in her face and she was like no um, I thought she was cool, you know, I stopped. I stopped pumping..."
"I'm nervous right now my hands are shaking"
"She wasn't that attractive"
"I jerked off when she left"
"I should have done what Shaq does. Shaq gives them money or buys them cars, he has already spent one million dollars"
@ mav fan... nde ka naman yata mav fan, dirk fan ka naman yata.. wala kang maisagot, kaya si kobe ang tinira..
tungkol sa boston vs. lakers... boston, talagang malakas, big 3, home court advantage..
eh ung mavs,
2005-06, nba finals mavs vs heat, mavs homecourt advantage, nakauna ang mavs 2-0, cno champion? heat ..and take note, game 6 sa dallas pa ginanap ung game...
2006-07, 1st round play-off, mavs no.1 seed kalaban 8th seed na warriors ... cno panalo? warriors...
nagpapalusot ka pa jan, bad coaching bad coaching ka jan..
kung nde magandang coach c avery e d nde nakapasok ng play-offs ang mavs.. baka nde coach ang dapat palitan, baka c dirk ang magandang palitan... hehehehhehe
pareng korn, di akin yan... i will never root for a team that plays good only in the regular season... plus i hate the guts of Mark Cuban... baka si Cuban na yan, sumali na sa TDP. anyways, let him dream as long as he can. pagdating ng post season mawawala rin yan. clone or not, the fact still remains that he and his team SUCKS and all he, his main man DORK, and their arrogant FO know is to talk and talk and talk! but when the time comes that the heart of REAL men need to be showcased, they are all doing the same act...; DISAPPEARING! if that's the kind of team and fan thinking that we would get these days, i'd rather watch our UAAP/NCAA. at least fans and teams in those league know what they're talking about and not just brag their minds out and look just like a foolish arrogant fan claiming to be a veteran NBA fan who does not really know and appreciate the game. hayz... how pathetic...
