The Milwaukee Bucks have one - and possibly two - trades still in the works that could come to fruition in the days ahead, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

One would undoubtedly involve center Jamaal Magloire, whom Harris would not hesitate to move if the right deal came along. Washington is said to be interested. The other possible trade, according to a source, would be of a more "surprising" nature.

Asked if his trade options involving Magloire had dried up, Harris said: "No. I think the thing was once you got into the draft, it was more focused in on that (draft). I didn't have anything for Jamaal relating to the draft. So when we got into the draft process, it really had no bearing on whether we could move Jamaal or not. (The conversations were) strictly draft picks, future draft picks and things like that."

Harris did try to move into the first round or at least up in the second round.

"A lot of things were going on," he said.

Harris said that he was among those who were on the phone with the Blazers, who made six trades on draft night.

"I was trying to do a couple things with Portland," he said. "They seemed to want to trade their whole team or at least acquire seven or eight players. I mean, it's incredible what was going on. I talked to (Portland scout) John Gabriel, and I said 'John, it's impressive; how are you keeping your roster updated?' They need all kinds of tags and erasers with all that stuff going on."

I think he'd be a real good addition to the Wizards.

Not so sure about Magloire. I think he has an expiring contract which would be good but I rate him right along with the Wood and Eatin' Thomas.

I think Magloire would be a good option for you guys. I know y'all would love Ben Wallace, but he's going to ask to be drastically overpaid and get a long-term deal that will far outlast his prime. Magloire is a good rebounder and defender and if it works out, the Wiz could resign him for a reasonable amount of money after next season.

Well, Magloire is out of his prime now. He just hasn't shown he can be what he was 2-3 years ago on the All-Star team. Now he wasn't great back then, so that doesn't make him much now. Although I do agree is better than Haywood now, just not in the future.

Dude, we definately need to get this guy as long as we don't give Butler, Arenas, or Jamison. Or actually Jamison can go...He doesn't really contribute much, he just gets the ball alot so he scores.

I wouldn't say Magloire is past his prime. He make the All-Star team as a fluke, so I don't consider him anything more than a good role player.
