This was mildly random, and sort of out of nowhere. I mean, we couldn't even get a 1st round pick outta this?

C'mooon
 
still cant beleive we couldnt get one decent piece for him, strange, when we signed him, who'da thunk we'd end up waiving him mid year?

Fixed it for you.
 
He won't be a free agent for long. Someone is bound to pick him up, like Detroit. Watch him kill us when we play the Pistons.
 
I am waiting for the NBA TV tribute to his career with the nets. it was a long and memorable one.
 
Gee

Wouldn't it be convienant if Dallas picked him up.

Couldn't have been planned or anything.........Nah

Flip Murray was also released apparently. Could this be a Murray for Magloire tradei nt he making considering Magloire was targeted by Dumars?
 
wow guess Kiki didnt work hard enough...someone out there would of had to bite..
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti @ Feb 22 2008, 05:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Great signing.</div>

Add him to the list: Jeff McInnis, Lamond Murray, Scott Padgett, Billy Thomas, Jabari Smith etc.
 
flip murray released, maybe kiki and joe decided to swap players?

Well I wish they did it in a trade so we could have gotten Herrmann in order to match up salaries.

I'd prefer him over Murray.
 
wow, I guess they figured they couldn't move him in a trade so they cut him a few days later? hmm..

It does, however, slightly, slightly, help out our big man rotation, even though mags has been out of rotation for a while.
 
I thought he was gonna be a starter when he signed, didn't expect this until I saw his role on the team.
 
What a waste of a $4m contract we could have used in a trade to grab a shooter
 
The transactions --Magloire and Murry-- were made almost simultaneously.

Maybe I am being a conspiracy theorist, but yesterday, Chad Ford reported in his chat that the Pistons were talking to the Nets about Magloire. Magloire made $4 million and Murray made $1.8 million. That couldnt work.

Murray is in very similar circumstances as Magloire. He hasnt played in TWO MONTHS because of the development of the rookies Aflallo and Stuckey. Magloire hasnt played much because of the development of Williams and Boone.

Waivers take 48 hours. That would mean Sunday, the day before the Nets next practice.

And Frank hinted that the Nets may go after a perimeter player. "If down the road we want to bring in a perimeter player, we have a roster spot," Frank said.

And by the way, if this "exchange" isnt just a conspiracy theory but is real, the Nets save some cap space. The Nets bought out the rest of Magloire's contact, probably $1 million on the remaining #1.3 million (1/3 of $4 million). If he signs with another team, their cap exposure will be reduced by whatever Magloire gets from that team. SImilarly, for Murray. Why is that important? It isn't.

Isn't this illegal by NBA rules or something? Like some loophole to make a trade after the deadline. Then again, what's to stop the waived players to sign with another team..
 
This is like the definition of inconsequential

Risky. Whose to say someone w/ a small TE or a bit under the cap doesn't take a chance on him (Flip) the rest of the year?

I said it from day 1: Magloire is useless. He has lost any skill he had. He can't handle the ball, can't score, can't catch, can't move. The only thing he can do is rebound. He is a liability in every other facet of the game.

I was right about McInnis, I was right about Marc Jackson, I was right about Chris Childs, and now I am right about Magloire.

I know a mistake when I see one.
