Newly-signed Heat center Jamaal Magloire has promised to do all the dirty work for the team this season, according to South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"I've always been one to claw, grab, pull, fight to get the job done," Magloire said after officially signing on Tuesday.

He signed a one-year contract worth the veteran's minimum of $1.14 million, but only half that figure is guaranteed.

"This is an opportunity for me to re-energize my career," Magloire added.

"I love this game so much, and the fact that I didn't play last year just makes me more vicious and more hungry."
