    The Nets has released Magloire and we signed Bobby for 10 days while pursuing Brent. If we failed to get Brent, do you think I should sign Magloire as Yao back up.

    Why would we need him when we have mutumbo? Even at his advanced age, he is still 100000x better then magloire.

    We still need another backup C apart from Deke but Magloire isn't the guy we need.

    Come on, Magloire actually has an offensive game. Didn't you see whenever Yao goes to the bench opponents start to attack the rim and we have no one to stop them but to foul?

    Magloire is only 29 yrs old while Deke is 40++. Deke himself said he probably won't be around next year.

    We don't have much depth in center position and Landry play suit PF much much more better.

    He would be solid as a backup to Yao.

    Even a 99 year old Mutombo is better than Magloire. No to your question, thank you!

    You guys that are discounting Magloire are either on crack or havent been NBA fans for more than 2 seasons.

    MAGLOIRE WILL JUST SLOW AS DOWN THE TRANSITION. Don't really need his type of game.

    Magloire would be a huge upgrade over what we have. Right now we're asking Landry to play C and that's just not fair.....We need more size and athleticism when Yao goes out.

    Dude couldn't even crack the rotation at New Jersey. Trust me, we aren't on crack. The guy just has a crappy work ethnic and his career has been on a downward spiral ever since he made the all-star year.

    Dude sucks.

    He's still faster than Yao and Deke.

    Or you have not watched Magloire play for the last two seasons.

    He is Michael Olowokandi 2.0

    No thanks

    Then by your theory, Mutumbo really sucks because he doesnt get a second on the court.

    Magloire would be nice to have on the bench.
