In an article reported by the Orlando Sentinal, the following things came up. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ORLANDO - Quiet throughout the first three weeks of the NBA's free-agent courting period because of roster and financial restrictions, the Orlando Magic appear poised now to spring into action. Intent on upgrading their depth at point guard, the Magic could be on the verge of extending a contract offer to either Memphis' Earl Watson, Miami's Keyon Dooling or Chicago's Chris Duhon.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Smith also said he has no plans to release or trade disgruntled shooting guard Doug Christie. Christie's representatives have informed the Magic that he would prefer to be traded back to the West Coast. Smith, who said one of his focuses has been to make the Magic a better defensive team, stressed he has no plans for moving Christie.</div> Full Article So the Magic will most likely end up offering one or two of these guys contracts and Christie is staying in Orlando.
Christie doesnt want to play here and if he doesnt want to play we should trade him for something or just waive him no need to keep mad players on your roster especially if your paying him 8 million to be in Seattle.

Later in the article, Otis Smith says he thinks Christie will change his mind and want to play for Brian Hill. I doubt it especially if all he can think about is being on the West Coast again.
