    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Magic General Manager Otis Smith put aside rumors that guard Keyon Dooling might be returning to the Heat in a trade.

    Speculation centered on Orlando's glut at point guard (Jameer Nelson, Carlos Arroyo, Travis Diener, Dooling) and its lack of big bodies, which raised question of interest in Heat third-string center Michael Doleac.

    "It doesn't take a genius to see we're loaded," Smith said Thursday of Orlando's backcourt. "There's nothing to it. [Dooling] is not going anywhere. We like him. We haven't talked to [the Heat]. After the injuries we had there last year, I'd rather be safe than sorry at that spot." </div>

    You know, the words coming out of Otis Smith's mouth usually means the kiss of death for a player. What Smith is really saying is, "The Miami Heat and several other teams are interested in Dooling, but so far we don't like any of the offers we've received."

    If the right offer comes up, Dooling will be dealt in a heartbeat.
