well yeah Magette’s play is sometimes viewed as selfish but driving to the lane and drawing fouls is his main strength. And if you have been watching NBA for the past decade, Magette is well known for his good character and good locker room presence.

I share the skepticism about Corey Maggete’s motives but i do wish him well. If he’s interested in pursuing a role in the front office I hope he does so and succeeds because I want him to succeed I suggest he quit playing immediately, He should take a modest buy out (to show he’s not greedy) and leave the team this weekend.

I know BS when I see it. Those types of talks happen all the time in locker rooms. Why did it happen on the floor last night…why did players who were already headed to the locker room need to turn around and come back out? Why couldn’t they just have a talk in the locker room like they always do?

Because the cameras weren’t going to be there to film it unless they did it on the court.

Maggette might make a fine front office employee, but I don’t want personal agendas getting in the way of team goals. I blasted Ben Gordon for his talk about working in the front office and spend summers going to management training. It’s about the team, it’s about getting better. A stat whore like Maggette campaigning for a front office job when he should be focused on this season…I don’t like it.

Kim English saw right through it… Did you see the look on his face and how he walked away before it was over? Maggette is again in it for himself.

Thanks. Really wanted to slip Kyle Singler in for biggest surprise, but didn’t want to look like too much of a homer.

Thats somewhat cynical don’t you think? One of two things occur with that comment. You have a bias against Maggette that predated him coming to Detroit or you are not a baskeball fan or not a fan of basketball players for whatever reason. See how that works?
