The New Jersey Nets have requested waivers on center Jamaal Magloire, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today.

Magloire, who signed with the Nets on July 17, 2007, played in 24 games this season, averaging 1.8 points and 3.4 rebounds. The eight-year pro holds career averages of 8.7 points and 7.3 rebounds in 530 NBA games.

Was just going to suggest this also. Anybody is an upgrade over Mbenga.

Double-thread? Meh, anyways...why not stock up on another big man? Surely he can't be that bad.

Fresh off of YouTube....that's pretty much what he can do.

In all likelihood he's done, but he'd probably be worth a try.

why not, after what happen to DJ on Wed I wouldnt mind having Maglore. He was an all-star once even though I thought that was a fluke, but he is a big body and we can use that.

He had a good year but yeah it was a bit of a fluke.

Keep in mind he isn't really worth the MLE (if the Lakers had it), so you know there are low expectations. If the Lakers can actually pull it off and get him cheap, sure.

edit: WOW ok I just checked his stats. I might rather get Kwame back.

magloire would be more productive in the triangle than in new jersey... he would be a nice insuarance policy...

I'd explore Barry and Him Mbenga is a bigger body, but clearly has no offense at all

True, but that's the reason we signed Mbenga over Webber. We wanted a big that could play at least stand in the way defense. I doubt we'd sign anyone else.

I would take him for the Vets Min...

I'm just wondering why his stats are like Kwame's when his whole appeal is that he's a big body that can score some points and crash the boards. He played fewer minutes than before so it's more difficult to interpret, but still. Average on D at best.

Hmm, I dont see us waiving Karl. But signing either one for the minimum "just in case" isnt a bad idea.
