    I just read a report that Bo Outlaw is set to sign a contract paying him 4.5 million in the first year. Our trade exception is 4.4 million, so the deal works. Orlando could then go sign Mo Taylor.

    Have I missed anything?

    That'd be an impressive front line... but did it read that he had already signed? If so, I do not think he's available until 12/15... after the exception expires.

    Not going to happen. Outlaw is getting $5.5 million in his first season and has already rejected trades to Houston once or twice.

    Plus, Outlaw is more valuable to the Magic than Mo Taylor - simply said, he's not gonig anywhere.

    That will leave us with

    C- Cato, Dream, Collier
    PF- Bo, Los, Kt
    SF- Walt, Langhi
    SG- Shandon, Cat
    PG- Stevie Franchise, Moochie

    I.R. Drew, Pig, Bullard

    You know what? That is a pretty good team. I think this lineup could get us to the second round of the playoffs.

    From www.nbatalk.com-

    More Magic. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the Magic will continue signing players, this time Bo Outlaw and John Amaechi. Outlaw is expected to sign a multi-year deal starting at $4.5 for the first season in the next few days. Amaechi will sign a one year deal worth $600,000 soon. Amaechi turned down a much more lucrative contract from the Lakers to stay in Orlando.

    I don't think that's what is going on, but there is a way it could happen. In other words, it's not impossible. Outlaw would have had to have been signed for the purpose of being traded (and it's possible, I suppose, that that information just hasn't been released yet). Also, assuming that is the case, the trade only has to be done within 48 hours. All that could be happening, but I don't think so. I suspect he just signed a deal that is close to the amount of our exception.

    Also, Mo Taylor is about to sign with Toronto, not the Magic.

    Ace -

    May be Bo Outlaw still has hard feeling about the Rockets passing up on him in the second round draft in 1993

    Bo Outlaw voided a trade to Houston? Sure. Has this been confirmed?

    I find it very hard to believe that a player would choose another team over the
    !Houston Rockets!

    He must be totally out-of-it, man.

    Does anyone know whom Rockets was planning to send away to obtain Bo Outlaw?

    I say we go after Donyell Marshall now that Bo is no longer available.

    Cat5,
    we would be sending the Magic our exception which would cover his salary.
