Pistons may take a look at free agent Maggette

AUBURN HILLS -- When free agency began, the Detroit Pistons had no intentions
of using their full mid-level exception for one player.
But the Pistons might have a change of heart, especially if they have a
chance to land a player such as Corey Maggette.
Maggette, a 6-foot-6 swingman, has made it clear he's willing to consider
accepting the mid-level exception, which is expected to be worth about $5.8
million.
Although he was expected to re-sign a more lucrative deal when he decided to
opt out of the final year of his contract with the Clippers, that all changed
when Golden State's Baron Davis unexpectedly opted out of the final year of
his deal, and agreed to a five-year, $65 million contract with his hometown
Clippers.
When you factor in fellow Clipper Elton Brand opting out of his contract --
and likely to sign a deal to stay in Los Angeles -- Maggette's return seems
unlikely.
If Brand re-signs with the Clippers, that will leave only Philadelphia,
Memphis and Golden State as teams with enough cap space to sign Maggette
above the mid-level exception.
The Sixers are focused on trying to land Atlanta's Josh Smith, Memphis is
expected to hold out and save its cap space for next summer's free agent
class and the Warriors have a five-year, $90 million offer in to Brand --
about $15 million more than the Clippers' offer.
That means Maggette, who averaged a career-high 22.1 points per game last
season, may have little choice but to settle for the mid-level exception.
And while the Pistons have been reluctant to use it all on one player this
summer, they may if it means landing Maggette.
The NBA champion Boston Celtics also have been hesitant to commit their full
mid-level exception to one player, even one of their own free agents, James
Posey.
Boston also has inquired about Maggette and have reportedly offered their
full mid-level exception.
Maggette, who opted out of the final year of a contract that would have paid
him $7 million this season, appears to at least be receptive to the idea.
"If you want to win, you have to make sacrifices," Maggette told the Boston
Globe.
