magliore is not that much better than Kurt and he's not as good a rebounder. All he has on Kurt is 1in and he does a little scoring inside. Not enough to be your #1 frontcourt option. I'd take my chances with Gadzuric and Sweetney splitting time if anything. It would be a lot cheaper
Magloire is a legit 6-11 Center. Kurt is 6-9 TOPS. Magloire is actually the better rebounder, although it's pretty close. Magloire is also a pretty good shot blocker, and offers great interior defense, just like Kurt did. He also just turned 27, so he's 5+ years younger.
The problem some of you have is you don't visualize what it would be like having a Kwame or Stro or Stephen Hunter here. Not much is gonna change b/w now and next season as far as their game is concerned. What you see is mostly what you get. Granted, there is still a little room to grow.
If you wanna make the playoffs, you keep Marbury and add a LEGIT Big.
If you wanna normalize the cap, get younger, and be more exciting you go after a Stro or Kwame, trade Marbury, and stockpile picks...
those are the options, you can't mix and match.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure.
And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.
