The Clippers are expected to soon sign guard Von Wafer from the development league to a 10-day contract, team sources said Tuesday.

As for a potential major move before Thursday's trading deadline, the Clippers are not close to completing a deal.

General Manager Elgin Baylor and Coach Mike Dunleavy do not comment on trade talks, but sources said other teams have continued to inquire about disgruntled sixth man Corey Maggette.

Maggette, who says he dislikes playing under Dunleavy, would prefer to play elsewhere. Owner Donald T. Sterling, however, is not interested in trading Maggette.

A Clippers roster spot opened because Christie, in a letter sent to the team during the All-Star break, declined to complete his second 10-day contract, which would have expired after Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center.
