Magic Aren't Optimistic On Maggette

Otis Smith told the Orlando Sentinel that the Magic are interested in signing Corey Maggette but aren't optimistic of their chances.

"Is it a long shot?" Smith said. "Uh, yeah."

Smith said the Magic are in the running as long as Maggette can only receive the midlevel exception, which is worth about $6 million per year.

Magic Shift Focus As Duhon Leaves Market

The Magic are shifting their focus towards Corey Maggette and Keyon Dooling after news broke on Thursday that Chris Duhon has agreed to join the Knicks, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

Duhon reportedly took a shorter deal with the Knicks because there is a greater chance that he'll become the starting point guard.

"For Chris, it came down to the fact he had opportunity to start in New York and to turn this thing around. It was a short-term deal, and he wanted to take that chance to take his game to the next level as a starter," agent Kevin Bradbury said. "It's always tough when it's down to two teams. Chris felt he couldn't lose either way. Chris had a terrific visit in Orlando."

The Magic still have their entire mid-level exception available, worth an average of about $6 million per year, which could be used to lure Dooling and Maggette.
