RedsArmy posted 7/4/2008 from redsarmy.wordpress.com

Danny’s denials be damned… the Celtics HAVE made an offer to Corey Maggette. Not only that, The Globe reports he got a call from Doc Rivers. “I talked to Doc… I’m not going to hold them up.

Corey Maggette Gets Mid-Level Exception Offer From Celtics

Posted 7/2/2008 on FanIQ Blog

One of the weirder things to happen today in NBA free agency news is that the Boston Celtics have expressed a great deal of interest in signing Corey Maggette who just opted out with the Clippers.

Next in line are the Boston Celtics, who might just become the Eastern Conference ...
