While no deal is imminent, it appears that Corey Maggette and the San Antonio Spurs are getting closer to uniting, the San Antonio Express-News is reporting.

The Spurs are believed to have offered Maggette a multi-year deal, starting with their $5.8 million mid-level exception. Maggette became an unrestricted free agent this week when he opted out of the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The team who remains the Spurs' biggest rival for Maggette's services the Orlando Magic may drop out of the race all together if Chris Duhon chooses Orlando over New York.

It is believed that Boston has also offered Maggette their fill mid-level exception, and Maggette is considering the offer.
