Magic acquire Archibald; waive Williams

Dec 26, 2003 5:21 PM EST

The Orlando Magic and Phoenix have made their second trade is less than two weeks, acquiring forward Robert Archibald for a 2005 conditional second-round pick.

To make room on the roster for Archibald, the Magic waived forward Monty Williams, who they acquired on Tuesday in a swap of second-round picks with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Ironically, RealGM first reported on Sunday that Archibald would be included in the earlier deal deal between the two teams that sent Donnell Harvey to Phoenix for a 2004 second-round pick.

Orlando used a $1.4 Disabled Players' Exception that they received for injured forward Pat Garrity to acquire Archibald.
