<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Orlando Magic are looking to sign a point guard, just as they were two years ago. Antonio Daniels is available, just as he was two years ago. But it appears the outcome will be the same -- no Daniels in the Magic's backcourt. Daniels is considered one of the top free-agent point guards and is in demand. But his agent said the Magic haven't called and he doesn't expect them to. "I haven't heard from the Magic. We've talked to about 15 teams . . . but not them," said Tony Dutt, Daniels' agent, on Wednesday. "My gut is that it's not going to happen." Dutt said Daniels wanted to sign with the Magic two years ago and felt the feeling was mutual. But the Magic wound up signing Tyronn Lue instead, and Daniels signed a two-year deal with Seattle. This summer, the Magic again were believed to be interested in Daniels, a big (6 feet 4), defensive-minded guard. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.1 assists last season for the Sonics, playing behind Luke Ridnour. "Orlando was his first choice last time," Dutt said by phone. "I sold them really hard on Antonio, but they ended up signing Tyronn Lue. . . . After a while, you get kind of burnt out after trying to sell a guy." Dutt said the Magic might not be willing to give Daniels, 30, the entire mid-level exception. The exception starts at about $5 million a season and can extend to five years.</div> Source
Im surprised they are not going after him maybe because he is a hot comodity but they could still chase Earl Watson for quick O.
im kind of glad, cuz i want jameer to have the starting spot. I think we need to focus on the center position or atleast some low post scoring with shareef. I think daniels is a hell of a player and if we didnt have jameer I would have been all for him. But with jameer getting better and better I want to see his face on this team more than any other point guard.
I think they should sign Watson & let him Jameer split time at that spot. Daniels I don't think fits thier style of Offense like Watson does.
I've liked Jeff McInnis so dunno what the Cavs are going to do maybe if they sign Huges then he could come cheap.
