It would be bitter sweet. Corey has been with the team for a very long time, a crowd favorite....but then again hes unhappy here as well

who cares, Artest is easily the better overall player.  Corey is a better Offensive player no doubt but he has no real identity as a player, I'l take Ronnie over him any day.  Maggette is wayyyy to soft on the Defensive side of the game.

Yepp. That's why Mike Dunleavy has been trying to get him. Corey Maggette is a great player but he takes a lot of bad shots and plays 0 defense. Too bad they can't keep both. Magette being their 2nd scoring option and Artest out there shutting the other teams best player down would be crazy.

it would be an awesome move for the clips if that trade went down, but according to most hoopshype articles, it is unlikely it will happen

The Clippers would prefer to trade Corey Maggette to the Sacramento Kings for Ron Artest, but they're not waiting by the phone. The Kings contacted the Clippers last Friday to gauge the Clippers' interest in acquiring Artest, but as of Wednesday night had not made a formal trade proposal, Clippers sources said. Los Angeles Times

Despite a report claiming the Kings could be days from trading Ron Artest to the Los Angeles Clippers for Corey Maggette, all indications are that the deal will not go down. And while Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie would not discuss the potential trade for Maggette that was reported in the Los Angeles Times, he did speak of Artest as if he weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Sacramento Bee

"His happiness level is fine," Petrie said before the Kings faced Philadelphia on Wednesday night at Arco Arena. "He has a very large performance bank account. A lot of people have forgotten what it was like around here before he got here. "I guess you could sum (the trade talk) up this way. It's a lot of noise, mostly white noise, like when a hen oodles -- wow, lays an egg -- and it makes a sound like it made a meteor." Sacramento Bee

Asked about Artest's locker room impact and any potential influence on teammates, Petrie said: "He has some esoteric qualities. A lot of people do." As for whether Artest has approached management with a desire to be traded, Petrie would only say, "That's a hypothetical question that you're going to have to save." Sacramento Bee

So the Clippers continued to consider potential deals with other teams involving Maggette, who is expected to be traded somewhere soon because of his poor relationship with Coach Mike Dunleavy. Other than a potential Artest-Maggette deal, the Clippers haven't been overwhelmed with the players teams have proposed offering for Maggette, who averaged at least 20 points a game in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. Los Angeles Times

The Clippers could have acquired a first-round pick for Maggette in the last draft but weren't interested because that draft wasn't considered as strong or deep as the 2007 draft. If the Clippers were only building for the future, they might move Maggette for some of the young players teams have supposedly made available in exchange for the seven-year veteran. Los Angeles Times

Looks like he could be going to a Florida team...

Miami
According to a league source, the Heat have been in contact with the Clippers about a possible trade for swingman Corey Maggette.

Maggette has been on the trading block since last season, and the Heat have players that are in a similar salary range to Maggette, including James Posey and Antoine Walker.

Maggette is under contract through next season with a player option for the 2008-09 season.


Orlando
Corey Maggette would like to be dealt out of Los Angeles and the former Magic swingman recently told the Orlando media that he would love a return.

"Write a headline for me," Maggette said.

Maggette & Howard would be a nice combo. But where does that leave JJ Reddick?

JJ Redick=Shooting Guard Corey Maggette=Small Forward.

If this trade goes through it just proves once again that the Kings are not serious about winning. How are you going to give up a Defensive Player of the Year candidate for a guy that only scores, and not often enough to warrant a starting position. I don't like Artest, but he brought grit and hard defensive play to Sacramento. Maggette has none of those qualities. I live in Sacramento and hate the Kings, so cheers to them if this goes through. It'll give me something else to run my mouth about to all my friends that are Kings fans.

So what, Corey plays BOTH postitions... NBA.com is stupid, they had Boris Diaw under guard for all of last year. They finally changed it to forward this year (not even forward/center!)...Type in "small forward Corey Maggette" in a google search.

That could be because Phoenix originally had him down as a back-up PG. Maggette is a SG/SF but is a primarily a SG (ex: Vince Carter, Michael Redd).

From a blog from ESPN.com

"Just false reports," Artest counters. "I'm happy here and want to be a part of the new Sacramento Kings. We are so competitive that, when we lose, it's not something we [can] get used to. Most teams lose and you won't hear a thing the whole season. On this team, Mike will blame himself and I will blame myself. But we are playing better and Brad Miller is back, so people should expect wins."

As for Bibby, who can opt out of his contract at season's end to enter free agency, Artest added: "We talked [at Sunday's practice] and we talk every day. We have to get used to playing with each other. But we both plan to stay in Sac."

A cynic might say that Artest is saying all the right things to convince the Clips to ignore any reservations they might have and go through with the deal.

Me? I have to think Artest, deep down, knows staying or going won't be his call at all.

Sorry, but Maggette is way more capable of playing small forward than Vince Carter or Michael Redd, LOL. He STARTED at small forward for a good portion of his career, man...I know Boris Diaw played guard, he came into the league as a guard, but the point was that he was the starting center last year for Phoenix, but was still listed as a guard for the whole season under nba.com...PeACe
