Jamaal Magloire joins the Miami Heat


The Miami Heat have reportedly signed unrestricted free agent Jamaal Magloire to an offer sheet. The Heat will be trying to find the answer to the void that Shaquille O’neal left when he was traded to the Phoenix Suns.

Jamaal Magloire made a name for himself in 2004 when he was with the New Orleans Hornets. He was voted into the 2004 All-Star game and surprised people with what he was really capable of. Since then, his career has gone downhill. His averages and playing time have declined.

The Miami Heat will give Jamaal Magloire another chance to prove his worth. He now has a second chance to help the Miami Heat win more games. They were the league’s worst last season only garnering 15 wins in 82 games.

The Miami Heat took their time in choosing the Center fit for their team. The Heat passed on Theo Ratliff, DJ Mbenga, Lorenzen Wright and some others. They probably felt that Jamaal Magloire would fit best in the Heat’s style of play.

Jamaal Magloire will be joining all-stars Shawn Marion and Dwyane Wade, as well as 2nd overall pick Michael Beasley.
