Corey Maggette does not believe he will finish the season as a member of the Clippers.

When he was asked if that was a possibility on Tuesday, he said emphatically, ?No, I won?t be here.??

Maggette has expressed to the Clippers his desire to be traded and the Clippers have been open to his agent, Rob Pelinka, contacting various teams to see what interest they have.

?I don?t want to make my issue a big thing with the team,? Maggette said. ?At the end of the day, I have to stay professional and play basketball.??
