Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

Golden State reached out to Maggette, Brand visits Philadelphia

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/03/SPV611JS76.DTL

Interesting article, Are the warriors possibly interested in a sign and trade with Maggette and Davis? Also, did anyone ever figure out if you can include other contracts in a sign and trade to make salaries work? Even without a sign and trade they can get maggette outright though because they have enough room under the cap. I guess if they are going to let baron go, they might as well get someone in return. At the very least if they don’t sign maggette to a bad contract, they have a piece they can trade away later if another point guard becomes available.

The article also goes on to state that the clippers can only offer Brand 5 years because they have to renounce Brands rights to make room for Davis. Maybe John R or CS can explain why that’s the case.I dont think we're too worried about the 76ers because they have less money to offer than the warriors and clippers right?

LOL, Phase Two has begun

GSW believes Maggette would be a good fit. It would allow them to trade Harrington, perhaps to the Bulls for Hinrich. I’ll let the Dubs worry about all that.

Is there a way that EB and Falk can pull Philly in to make the dollars work? I’m not sure how a deal like that would look, but I am just wondering if working with a team with cap space can allow the Clips to offer Brand more.

By the way, there is a report from the San Jose paper that the Clippers would like to give Elton a 6 yr deal, but that it is EB who is insisting on a 5 year deal. Apparently he wants to do this so that he can be a FA again after the current CBA contract expires. Who knows? Here is the link: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2008/07/03/free-agent-chaos-update-i-hear-that-brand-is-the-one-insisting-on-5-years-and-i-dont-know-why/

Also mention of a Clips/GSW sign and trade.
