On Friday, Elgin Baylor, the Clippers' vice president of basketball operations, emphatically denied there is any deal in the works that would involve trading Corey Maggette to Denver.
"It's absolutely bogus. It's erroneous. I don't know where it came from," said Baylor, responding to reports that first surfaced Sunday in the Denver Post. "It did not come from me, and it didn't come from (Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy). No one in this organization has talked to anyone from Denver, about a trade for Maggette."
He did acknowledge that a trade involving the Nuggets and Maggette was discussed two months ago, but that the talks went nowhere.
