Bucks Trade Mason for Magloire - TomFoolery - 10-26-2005

The Milwaukee Bucks continued to aggressively reshape their roster Wednesday by beating out a clutch of teams to acquire New Orleans/Oklahoma City center Jamaal Magloire.

Milwaukee will send swingman Desmond Mason, its 2006 first-round pick and cash considerations to the Hornets for Magloire, an East All-Star in 2004.

The Bucks, according to sources, felt they needed a more physical presence on their front line to aid the development of No. 1 overall pick Andrew Bogut and the recently re-signed Dan Gadzuric. Magloire, like Mason, has only this season and next season left on his contract, lessening the immediate demands on Bogut without affecting the 7-footer's standing as a future cornerstone.

Given Milwaukee's logjam of swingmen after retaining Michael Redd, trading for Jiri Welsch and signing Bobby Simmons, a move involving Mason between now and the February deadline was widely seen as inevitable. This one gives the Bucks an opportunity to play Magloire and Bogut -- the Australian from the University of Utah is still expected to start -- together, with Simmons starting at the other forward spot. The Bucks also have Gadzuric and Joe Smith in what suddenly looks like a well-rounded frontcourt rotation.

The Hornets have been shopping Magloire for months as part of their own makeover, which accelerated in February when Baron Davis, another former All-Star, was dealt to Golden State.

Coach Byron Scott denied earlier this week that Magloire was available, but the Hornets - rebuilding around the embryonic backcourt of Chris Paul and J.R. Smith and displaced from its home base in New Orleans for at least a season - opted for the chance to add another 2006 first-rounder to their own and an athletic swingman with ties to the team's new home state.

Mason, entering his sixth season out of Oklahoma State, carries a career scoring average of 12.9 points per game and averaged a career-best 17.2 points last season.

Magloire played only 23 games in 2004-05 because of a fractured ring finger but averaged 13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds in the previous season. The five-year veteran's 19 points in the 2004 All-Star Game led the East.

Memphis, Chicago and the Los Angeles Clippers were among the teams that, needing quality size, hoped to win the race for Magliore, whose departure has also seemed inevitable since he was mentioned in various trade scenarios in conjunction with the June draft. Most of those scenarios involved the Toronto Raptors, who have long coveted the Toronto-born big man.

If you read between the lines here it says Bogut is a pussy.I like Mason a little so Im not wild about the deal but I know they had to do it since they resigned the overrated Redd.Bottom line is two crap teams trading crap players to each other.

I think it's a good trade because the Bucks still have Redd, Simmons, and Welsch. The won't give up the pick if they are in the lottery, and that's a definite plus. Magloire is a good big man and nice compliment to the Joey Harrington of the NBA--Andrew Bogut.

At the same time, it sucks seeing D-Mase leave because that motherfucker was electrifying with T.J. Ford in the lineup (alley-oops all day) and he was a pretty good defender. He was also really active in the community and loved the city of Milwaukee.

My opinion is the Hornets will still suck this year, next year and the year after that.
