    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Magloire on hold: Harris said no deals were imminent involving veteran center Jamaal Magloire, who is entering the last year of his contract and will be paid $8.3 million next season.

    The Bucks would like to acquire backup help at the shooting guard and small forward positions, but thus far they have not found the right deal.

    The 28-year-old Magloire would like to move to another team where he can play a more prominent role and increase his value for a future contract. He started at center for Milwaukee last season, but the Bucks have committed to 7-footer Andrew Bogut, who will move from power forward to center next season. Newly acquired Charlie Villanueva will be the starter at power forward.

    "I've told Jamaal, 'I'm not going to give you away,' " Harris said. "Not a guy that's 10 (points) and 10 (rebounds) and is a starting center in the NBA. We're actively trying to do some things that make sense for him and for us.

    "The future of our franchise is the man to my right (Villanueva) and Andrew Bogut. It's just the way it's going to be. But Jamaal still can be an integral part of what we're going to do."</div>
