    ORLANDO - Tony Dutt, the agent for coveted free-agent forward Rashard Lewis, returned to Orlando on Monday to work with the Magic on sign-and-trade deals with the Seattle SuperSonics.

    The Magic continue to have negotiations with the Sonics on a deal that would serve a variety of purposes. Orlando would like to clear salary-cap dollars so that they could land Lewis and still retain power forward/center Darko Milicic.

    Working out a sign-and-trade deal with Seattle also would allow Lewis to get a six-year contract as opposed to a five-year pact and he could reap 10.5 percent annual raises instead of 8 percent raises. His deal, which can't be officially signed until Wednesday, will be worth a minimum of $87 million and could top out at $113.8 million if it extends to six years.</div>

    Please get this done. Give up a first or 2 if you need to get Sonics to take your contracts and take Earl Watson's bad contract, because he will be great backup and could start for us if Jameer gets hurt or struggles.
