Kendall Gill, 37, who spent many seasons in the NBA playing for teams like the Seattle Supersonics and the Charlotte Hornets won his debut boxing match with a knockout in 1-minute, 58-seconds at the Aragon Ballroom.

The 5-foot-10-inch Trevor Biley was no match for the 6-foot5-inch inch Gill.

"I feel great," the 37-year-old NBA veteran and former Illini star said. His trainers told him to take it easy early.

"But I couldn't resist," Gill said. "I saw him hurting."

"I want to fight one more time and then go back to the NBA," Gill said, adding that he'll return to boxing after his 15th season. "I'm a very young 37."

With two days remaining before Tuesday's NBA draft, the Hornets are involved in trade discussions with the Toronto Raptors to get two first-round picks, according to league sources Saturday night.

The possible deal would involve the Hornets trading center Jamaal Magloire to Toronto for the Raptors' picks at Nos. 7 and 16. No other players have been mentioned in the trade discussions, sources said.

If the deal is made, the Hornets would have three picks in the first round.

It could be a struggle for the Hornets next month to land a high-profile free agent, so it appears they want to build through the draft to get a much-needed small forward or power forward in addition to selecting a point guard with their No. 4 pick.

League sources said the Hornets want the deal, but Toronto is somewhat hesitant about having to give up both of its first-round picks. There is a chance the Raptors could be more willing to give up their No. 7 pick and offer one of their current players as part of the deal.

Hornets general manager Allan Bristow and Toronto general manager Rob Babcock could not be reached for comment Saturday night.
