He is one of the most professional players out there and always contributes to a team in any capacity. Earlier in the season he was helping out the Rooks and teaching Drummond how to deal with being 18 and in the NBA. I really like him and I think he'd make a great front office guy. @Tyrone - I know, Blaha, Langlois and the Detroit Free Press are always saying he is injured or something, to be honest I think it has to do with age. He may be 33 but he has been in the League for a while. I think he can still contribute maybe 12 PPG as a rotation player (25ish minutes). I wouldn't give him more than a bi-annual exception though (if thats still in the current CBA? Dan? Patrick? Someone?). Maggette is one of my favorite players, he was fun to watch in his prime and was always a professional. I wouldn't mind keeping him around as long as it is on a shorter contract and he gets consistent minutes. This team needs some veteran presence, I think Calderon and Maggette can provide it. @Ryan – Maggette is widely known around the League for being the elder statesman of the NBA.

My question is Corey has had a full season working with Arnie to recover from what injury? Also could it effect his play next season?  i respect Corey for the way he has gone about his business while here in Detroit and I would not mind if he came back next season at the right price to be that veteran voice that our young team can and will benefits from.

How is he a good leader? What qualifies him? Get rid of the dude. I never bought the Maggette leadership thing any way. How is he a good leader? What qualifies him? Get rid of the dude.
