| Basically, he confirmed that Elton did tell people he was coming back and then backed out. I was shocked to hear Maggette would have taken less money in L.A.! |

^^Yeah it's just too weird- greed then took over I guess- here are some printed quotes from Maggette:
---
"It's kind of funny how all this stuff played out,'' Maggette says. "But it's going to be interesting to see what happens.''
Maggette did, however, have a dream. It was pure fantasy, yes, but there was a moment when it seemed to be within reach. It went like this: Baron Davis leaves the Warriors and joins the Clippers. Elton Brand, adjusts his contract and returns to the Clippers. And Maggette, willing to take less money than he could get on the open market, joins them.
"We all thought we were going to be on the same team,'' Maggette said. "We were trying to do what Boston did.''
That is, a makeover dramatic enough to lift the Clips from postseason observers to postseason power players. Brand, Davis and Maggette would become the Western Conference version of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
``I've known EB since I was in ninth grade. I've known Baron since I was in eighth grade,'' Maggette said. ``We almost had the opportunity to stay together."
Maggette's fantasy fell apart when Brand went east, to Philadelphia, leaving the Clippers without an All-Star power forward. This told Maggette that "this new Celtics thing that we were going to do is not going to happen.''
The dream lasted, he figures, about 12 hours. Then Maggette woke up. And started handling his business. That is what NBA players generally do. That's what Brand did, what Davis did. Maggette, 28, knows the drill.

Sad, I hope the Sixers fan know who Elton really is like, a lying scumbag. |

Wow the goal all along was to keep all three with Maggette taking less money. Couldn't believe it til I heard it from his mouth. I guess that gives us more reason to HATE!! Brand!! I figure that may be why the Clips offered Brand less money so they could squeeze everyone in. Once Brand got greedy, excuse me "disrespected", it was curtains for Maggette. The clips at that point must have thought ok lets do everything we can to at least keep E.B and B.D. This is sad... I can't even think of any more ways to curse Brand. Take a listen for yourself it starts a couple seconds after the 15:30 minute mark.
