The Nets have had dinner with Jamaal Magloire in order to get a gauge on why his career has taken a downturn and how well he would fit in with their team, but they have not yet made him an offer. That may be due to the other big men they are still looking at: Joe Smith, Jackie Butler, and, of course, Mikki Moore. Meanwhile, details of Vince Carter's deal emerged. It calls for salaries of roughly $13M, $15.2M, $16.3M, and $17.3M, meaning he is taking a pay cut this year. He was supposed to make $16.4M
