--Do the quotes really mean anything
In the past, Dunleavy has questioned Maggette's defensive play. And last summer Dunleavy tried to trade him for the Dallas Mavericks' Jason Terry over concerns that Maggette would opt out of his contract and become a free agent after this season, leaving behind the final year of his contract worth $7 million.
But Sterling said once again Monday that he expected Maggette, and the injured Elton Brand, to remain Clippers for the rest of their careers.
"OK, well, I guess I'm going to be a Clipper," Maggette said, matter-of-factly. "That's how I look at it. If they want me to be here, then I'll be here. It's as simple as that."[
Said guard Cuttino Mobley: "I do get frustrated, not only with myself, my teammates, my coach. . . . That's life. But you have to stick with it and what you have and that's all we have is each other. This situation is messed up, but you've got to deal with it until there's a change."
Meanwhile, Brand, 28, is probably the key to the Clippers' future. He hopes to play by early March.
He can also opt out of the final year of his contract after this season, even though he's due more than $16 million next season. Brand has made no commitment to next year's team.
"Regarding Mr. Sterling's feelings about the team, of course, I want to play for an owner that wants this team to win," Brand said.[/b] |

| Those comments definitely didn't add any fuel to the fire which is good. We still won't know for sure of course until after the season. |
