Clippers Still Denying Indiana Maggette Or Livingston

Dec 31, 2005 2:53 PM EST

Trading for Indiana Pacer forward Ron Artest would either be a smart move or huge mistake for the Clippers.

The Pacers would want Maggette, whom the Clippers have declined to include in trade proposals.

Dunleavy and General Manager Elgin Baylor are fond of hard-working Maggette, whose scoring average increased his first six seasons in the NBA. Dunleavy and Baylor declined to comment on trade talks, but they have rejected offers for Maggette and second-year point guard Shaun Livingston, Clipper sources said.

"With nine out of 11 at home, we're at the stretch of the schedule we were pointing to all year long," Dunleavy said. "You never want to have injuries, and we hoped we would be totally healthy now, but everybody has injuries.

"If you make a move now, that you make because of injuries, you're making it out of desperation or panic. In my opinion, the only move we make has to be a move that we'd make without the injuries, because we have a lot of guys with a lot of upside."

Brand, Kaman Get 38/20 And 22/22 In Romp Of Bobcats

Dec 23, 2005 11:11 PM EST

The Charlotte Bobcats were extremely thin upfront Friday night and the Clippers bigman took advantage in historic fashion.

For only the 5th time in NBA History, two teammates Elton Brand and Chris Kaman had 30/20 and 20/20 (pts/rebs) in the same game.

"I was trying to get to 25 but Elton kept taking them all," Kaman said. "Elton started going crazy and blocking shots and taking my rebounds. So I was a little bit upset with him. We're not on good terms."

The Bobcats were without forwards Emeka Okafor, Sean May and Jake Voskuhl, who were all nursing injuries.

The last time two teammates accomplished the 30/20 and 20/20 was back in 1970 when Willis Reed and Dave DeBusschere did it in a game for the New York Knicks.
