I harbor no real regrets that the Clippers and Corey Maggette parted ways, but for better or worse, there’s no other player in the Association whose development as a pro we’ve watched more closely over the past decade. Corey’s game is flawed – and those shortcomings have been documented extensively here and elsewhere – but he’s still an interesting player from an observational standpoint. I’ve always been ambivalent about Corey. His game has this comforting efficiency that I really admire, but in the end, I guess I instinctively prefer players who are a little more cerebral. That’s probably unfair. And even though I think the Clippers are better longterm without him, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss him a little.
