What do you remember about the summer of 2004, when Kobe was considering joining the Clippers? Corey Maggette: Honestly, man, the information was very vague. As a player, we didn’t hear much. We knew that Kobe, in that process, talked to (then-Clippers coach) Mike Dunleavy and they were trying to figure out if it was something. But honestly, I thought it was really a scare tactic for the Lakers to solidify himself there. But who knows. It could have (been true). But I always thought, when I heard it, that it was more of, again, the scare tactic for the Lakers.
