Orlando Sentinel writer Tim Povtak reports that Orlando is exploring ways to get under the salary cap by up to 9 million to lure Antonio Davis (who told the Raptors on Wednesday, he was opting out of his contract that had 2 years and 15 million remaining on it) to Orlando this offseason. The Magic can get to that figure if Andrew Declercq opts out of his contract (Which Realgm doesn't expect him to do) and Bo Outlaw, Michael Doleac, and one of Orlando's 2 first round picks (15 and 23) were dealt to a team with cap room.

John Denton of the Florida Today writes, Billy Hunter and the NCAA wouldn't listen, so now David Stern is taking his argument for an age limit to the NBA veterans, who would greatly benefit from an age limit. Also, Jason Williams wants out of Sacramento, could Orlando be a possible destination? Plus, more news from around the NBA.

Ken Hornack of the Daytona News-Journal writes about Jim Rome's interview with Antonio Davis and some of the things he said about Canada, as well as some tidbits from around the NBA.

The Knicks' draft pick is going to the Suns.  It can then go to the Magic.  And the Magic owe a pick to the Rockets.  The Rockets owe the Grizzlies.  But the Pistons don't want that pick to reach Vancouver (oops, Memphis), because the Grizzlies owe the Pistons a pick.  This season it can be any team's top-18 pick, but next season it must be the Grizz' pick (top 5 protected).  So the Pistons are lobbying the Magic, and might even return Chucky Atkins to the Magic if they'll just keep from moving that pick to Houston.  BTW - RealGM understands the Grizz must get the pick to Detroit by June 1.

From the AP, Orlando Magic forward Grant Hill believes his surgically repaired ankle will be healed by the end of the week to allow him to step on the court for the first time since December.
