Perhaps needing to sweeten free agent Tyronn Lue's deal to ward off last-minute suitors, the Orlando Magic have explored one intriguing scenario: Bringing back popular Darrell Armstrong_for at least a few minutes, anyway.

The Magic could re-sign Armstrong and then trade him to the Washington Wizards for Lue, the young point guard who has made Armstrong expendable in Orlando.

Lue's agent, Andy Miller, confirmed Monday that such a sign-and-trade deal to deliver Lue to the Magic has been discussed.
