    Here's the scoop. Grant Hill has agreed to
    join the Magic. According to reports Tim Duncan had a meeting
    with Greg Popovich, in which he informed the Spurs that he
    intended to join the Magic. Tracy McGrady informed the Magic
    yesterday that he wants to be in Central Florida too. The jist of the
    deals as I understand them, each will sign a $7 million deal in order
    to fit them all under the cap. Both Duncan and Hill will be given 4th
    year options to become free agents. The Spurs allegedly told
    Duncan they intended to have the league investigate the Magic,
    charging them with tampering. The Chicago Bulls have also said
    they intend to explore the Magic's actions, and are accusing them of
    tampering. If the league rules in favor of the charging teams, deals
    with those players could be voided, and the Magic could be
    penalized up to $1 million per player, and have to forfeit a 1st round
    draft pick for each player, as a maximum penalty. Tracy McGrady
    said he will still make the trip to Chicago out of courtesy, he is also
    scheduled to toss out the first pitch of a White Sox-Cubs game. The
    Magic are now expected to renounce everyone but Bo Outlaw and
    Ben Wallace, this may clear upwards of $22 million in capspace.
    There is talk that the Magic would agree to a sign and trade
    package with the Raptors possibly sending Ron Mercer and Matt
    Harpring to the Raptors along with a 1st rounder in 2001.


    That clears up the cap space problems (each taking 7 million)......It was clear that the magic had no intention of offering the max to mcgrady, grant will sacrifice that much for a ring, and timmy will be in this dynasty with grant hill and tracy mcgrady....how can he resist?? especially after what popovich did.......in another article, i read that popovich accused Timmy of cheating and lying and bein tampered with....nt helping them at all......popovich is off to se grant hill about signing, but even though he said he'd take less oney, why should he if he doesn't have to??

    but i was wondering, if they're using up ALL the money for these guys, then where do they get money for a PG and where do they get money to re-sign Amaechi??
    exceptions or something? and what do teh do with mike miller no that grant will be there?

OH YEAH, sounds good to me...what do you think???....

    comets...Bo Outlaw can't play the 5 in the NBA. In the SWC sure but not here. He's only 6'8 and 210lbs.
