    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Keyon Dooling is in the final year of a three-year, $10-million contract that pays him $3.5 million this season. Unlike some players, he's reasonable and realistic when evaluating himself in the free-agent marketplace.

    "It's too early too say what's going to happen. I'll evaluate my situation, but I'm big on this team," he said, ticking off reasons why he'd like to stay with the Magic. "I know I'd rather be a role player on a good team than a starter on a bad team."</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Because Dooling has played so well this season -- he's averaging 8.3 points on 47 percent shooting and has 20 double-digit scoring games -- he's likely played his way into a salary bump over the $3.5 million he's making this season.

    Dooling said he would like to be in a situation where his role is expanded beyond that of a sixth man, but he's happy in Orlando. He said the offseason will bring some evaluation about his wants and desires as a professional, but for now he seems himself likely wanting to stick with the Magic.</div>
