Magic want to grab
Lewis, re-sign Milicic
Brian Schmitz | Sentinel Staff Writer

The Orlando Magic are expected to contact Seattle SuperSonics small forward
Rashard Lewis and make a contract offer to power forward Darko Milicic on
Sunday when the NBA free-agent market officially opens for business.
While the Magic don't believe New Jersey Nets guard Vince Carter or Detroit
Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups will leave their respective teams as
free agents, they also will aggressively gauge their interest as well.
Charlotte Bobcats guard Gerald Wallace also could be on the short list.
But according to those close to the situation, the 6-foot-10 Lewis is the
Magic's prime target. The Magic are looking for a proven scorer, and Lewis
averaged a career-high 22.4 points per game last season, tying Kevin Garnett
among league leaders.
For Orlando, Milicic and Lewis are intertwined in their master plan this
summer.
They need to make a decision rather quickly on Milicic before they can
attempt to sign a high-salaried star such as Lewis. Milicic carries a phantom
"cap hold" contract figure that projects his maximum value on the team's
salary cap.
Magic General Manager Otis Smith said Monday that he hopes an "amicable" deal
can be reached with Milicic, a sentiment seconded by Milicic's agent, Marc
Cornstein. Orlando can match any offer for Milicic, a restricted free agent.
"This is a situation, on paper, where Darko should be re-signed by Orlando,"
Cornstein said. "We'll see on Sunday where we're at."
A deal in principle could be worked out, although Cornstein likely will see
what the market will bear. But only a handful of teams have enough cap room
to sign Milicic.
If the Magic and Milicic reach an impasse, Cornstein said a sign-and-trade of
Milicic to another team would be an option. Cornstein said he expects to hear
from a variety of clubs on Sunday who might be exploring a trade.
If the Magic do re-sign Milicic, they likely must make other trades to sign
Lewis, who could command a five-year deal at an average of $15 million per
season.
Lewis, who turns 28 in August, has averaged 16.6 the past nine years for the
SuperSonics. But he has averaged more than 20 points per game the past three
seasons, and scorched the Magic for 45 points during the 2006 season.
Lewis, a 2005 all-star, opted out of his contract with the Sonics in late
May, leaving $21 million on the table.
Seattle can pay Lewis the most money, as it is the only team that can offer
him a six-year deal.
But the Sonics have the No. 2 pick in Thursday night's draft and are expected
to select former Texas star Kevin Durant, who plays the same small-forward
position as Lewis.
