Heat Agree To Terms With Jamaal Magloire

Major props to him signing with Dallas last season over us. Judging by his 1.8 PPG, 2.9 RPG and the dazzling 32% he shot from the field i'd say he made quite the impact!

Please. He's on the Memo Okur/Wally Szczerbiak level of worst NBA All-Star's ever.

 

He is definitely the worst nba "all star" I can think of..

 

Damn, How does a guy drop off so fast? He has major talent but I think that something must be wrong with his work ethic or something.......

 

I agree. He is, in no way shape or form, a top tier center. But he should at least be a 2nd tier center, but I kind of wonder if he got fat and happy after that All-Star appearance and contract.

 

he lost his work ethic when he was traded to become a bench player after having an allstar year. since then he's seemed to not really try while riding the bench in other cities.

hopefully, a possible starting job in miami will give him the motivation he needs to return to form.

 

Combination of everything: settling after a big contract, bad luck getting injured after his All-Star year, lessed roles on teams, attitude and worth ethic, getting the Juwan Howard/Shareef Abdur Rahim Cant-Win-With-This-Guy treatment.

His scoring lessend after his All-Star year but his other numbers are about the same per 36 minutes.

Up until last season where he REALLY slacked off.

Some of us that were thinking Deke-Replacement, ideally Magloire would be a great backup if he'd accept the role, but he seems to be getting more Kelvin Cato like that former All Star.

 

Proves how unbalanced the East and West were in talent a few years back.

 

I didn't realize he was only 30, if thats the case, he's just a lazy mofo, I thought he was alright for his 04 all-star season, I guess he was just dumb to think someone would give him a big contract after he had his all-star year.

 

Jamaal Magloire was a total "electoral vote" (as Hollinger would say) All-Star pick. The Hornets were doing well (because of Baron Davis), so they "had" to get another All-Star representative. Magloire had an above-average but unspectacular year, averaging 13.6 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 1.2 bpg, and 0.476 FG%. Good, but far from All-Star.

Remember in 2004, Lebron James didn't make the All-Star team. Somehow, Magloire did. I really hate picking borderline or extremely questionable "stars" based on their team's performance for one season (or rather part a season, since the All-Star game is in February), which may or may not be a fluke. That's how you get ridiculous picks Magloire, who people won't even make an impression on people a couple years later.
