Nets agree to terms with Magloire
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The New Jersey Nets have agreed in principle with free agent forward/center Jamaal Magloire on a contract, team President Rod Thorn announced today. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not released and the agreement is contingent on Magloire passing a required physical.
"We are very pleased to add Jamaal to our roster," Thorn said. "He is an experienced low post player who will add depth to our frontcourt rotation."
The 29-year-old veteran, and 2004 All-Star selection, averaged 6.5 points and 6.1 rebounds in 81 games for the Portland Trail Blazers last season.
Magloire, who was selected with the 19th overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets out of Kentucky, is averaging 9.1 points and 7.5 rebounds in seven seasons with Charlotte/New Orleans, Milwaukee Bucks and Portland.
