Heat seeks help from Jamaal Magloire


The Heat signed the former All-Star center, Jamaal Magloire, on Tuesday, four days after agreeing to basic terms with the nine-year veteran. Magloire will likely compete with Mark Blount when training camp begins later this month for the starting center position.

The 6-foot-11, 265-pound Magloire has averaged 8.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in his career. He spent his first five seasons with the Charlotte and New Orleans Hornets, and has now been with five teams since the start of the 2005-06 season — Milwaukee, Portland, New Jersey, Dallas and now Miami.

Magloire has worn four different uniforms over the past three seasons, and spent last season as a forgotten man at the end of the New Jersey and Dallas benches. He doesn't think he's finished, and the Miami Heat apparently agree.
