Tue Oct 15 2013 | 13:12 | Spurs waive Corey Maggette, who may retire |
The Spurs waived Corey Maggette on Tuesday. |
Maggette said that he'd retire if he didn't make the team, so this may have been his last hurrah in an NBA uniform. He reportedly may join the Pistons in a front-office capacity, after a 14-year NBA career that he'll finish with averages of 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game. |

Mon Oct 14 2013 | 10:14 | Corey Maggette fights to continue NBA career |
Corey Maggette scored 10 points in 27 minutes as a starter on Sunday, and Gregg Popovich said that he's "caught on to what [the Spurs] are trying to do." |
Maggette went 8-of-8 from the FT line and he could bring some offense and SF depth to the bench, but his roster spot isn't guaranteed. There will be extra scrutiny on him in the coming week because he said he plans to retire if the Spurs waive him. |

Sun Oct 13 2013 | 20:14 | Corey Maggette will retire if Spurs cut him |
Corey Maggette said that he'll retire from the NBA if he doesn't make the Spurs' roster this season. |
Sam Young was waived this week which gives a boost to Maggette's efforts, though even if he makes the team he'll play limited minutes as a backup SF. "If I could get an opportunity here, it would be great," he said. "If not, this game has been good to me." Maggette is only 33 years old but he's played 14 NBA seasons and injuries have taken a heavy toll on his body. |

Corey Maggette will start at small forward on Sunday. |
The Spurs are just giving Maggette a look, so it's not something they'll be doing during the season. Obviously, Kawhi Leonard's job is safe and he could have a monster season in 2013-14. |

Thu Sep 26 2013 | 15:33 | Corey Maggette to join Spurs at camp |
Corey Maggette will join the Spurs for training camp. |
His slashing style could fit in with Coach Pop's system, but he's no spring chicken anymore at age 33. Maggette's hamstring issues have cost him a number of games over his career and his lack of durability will be a major roadblock to him providing consistent production. He's no lock to make the team. |

Thu Aug 22 2013 | 22:49 | Corey Maggette considering return to NBA |
Corey Maggette said that he would "love to come back" to the Detroit Pistons. |
"Overall, I'm just waiting and being patient and see what opportunity comes," Maggette said. "You always got to explore your options, but if the Pistons want me back, it's great, man. I would love to come back." His hamstring have been one of the most troublesome areas among all NBA players, so it would be a mild shock to see the Pistons take a chance and bring him back. The team does have Luigi Datome to back up Josh Smith a small forward, so it's not really a pressing need. |

Mon Mar 25 2013 | 08:53 | Maggette without explanation for benching |
Corey Maggette, who hasn't since December 15, said that he has never received a reason for his benching. |
"No one told me anything," he said. "Do I know why? No. Is there a reason why I shouldn't be playing? No." The Pistons will continue to play their younger players and evaluate their future, and we think it's safe to say that the veteran won't be back with the team next season. |

Corey Maggette hopes to sign a new contract with an NBA team this summer. |
Retirement has been a possibility for Maggette, but he's feeling confident after "a full year recovering," which is to say not playing. He hasn't played in a game in nearly three months but he's open to returning as a mentor with the Pistons. Regardless of where he lands, the former fantasy stud is no longer a viable option. |

Wed Nov 14 2012 | 22:06 | Corey Maggette back in action for Pistons |
Corey Maggette returned from a calf injury on Wednesday and had nine points on 2-of-3 shooting in 22 minutes. |
It will take a little time for Maggette to get his timing back, but that next injury could be just around the corner, as well. We're not picking him up in most leagues at this point and he'll probably do more to stifle the development of Kyle Singler than anything else. |

Corey Maggette (calf) worked out his calf at practice Monday and could return Wednesday. |

Corey Maggette (calf) will not play on Saturday. |
Mags has dealt with this injury for a few weeks now and he's known for being a slow healer. Once he can come back, he'll still be tough to own in even deep leagues because of how often he's on the injury report. |
