Nets Waive Magloire

Yeah, I was just going to say as much - Murray for Magloire was supposedly discussed, however another player would have had to be included to make the salaries match (likely Brezec) and NJ didn't want to have to drop a player to make room for Brezec - especially when they believed Murray was going to be waived anyways.

Too bad this didn't work out. I thought he would be the big man we needed.

Dallas is looking at him (along with Justin Williams and Khryapa) so, a question: was his poor play a result of having too many centers or he just plain sucks?

I've always thought he was a sham all-star and an overrated player not worth his contract in the past, but for the vet min is it too much of a stretch to expect him to spell Damp for 15 minutes?

Really suprised that we never moved him.

He didn't have value to anyone as an expiring?

Boston will try to get him:

The Celtics are also expected to inquire about guard Flip Murray, waived by Detroit yesterday, and center Jamal Magloire, waived by New Jersey. Both will be free agents tomorrow if they clear waivers.

How fitting, watch Magloire play well for them too

Couldn't care less. Look at McInnis. He's playing fairly well and I don't care. We gave them chances, McInnis was a dumbass off the court and Magloire was a dumbass on the court. We traded away McInnis away for a TE. Even though we didn't use it, good move. Kept him away from the team. Magloire was a 1 year shot with us. If he would've played well, he would've earned a contract. If he sucked, it was a 1 year expiring. Absolutely no risk in signing him.

I think he signed with Dallas in the ideal conditions.

1) We desperatly needed another big.
2) Even though Avery was a PG, he sucks coaching PGs (a la Harris) and is great coaching bigs (a la Dampier, Bass & Dirk's improved post game)
3) It was for the vet min...thus no pressure to live up to his contract
4) As late as Portland, he played a similar game to Dampier, thus smoothe substitutions in Dallas if he can pick up where he did last year

Hopefully this is the case of one man's trash is another man's treasure

He might work out if Mutombo's history with Frank repeats itself. (In NJ Deke ended up nailed to the bench. But then when he went to Houston, turns out he had years of meaningful minutes left. )

But I didn't see any sign from what he didn't do here.
