    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Forward Lee Nailon, who has signed a 10-day contract with the Magic, has a chance to stick with the club and back up shooting guard Tracy McGrady and small forward Keith Bogans. He was in uniform Tuesday night when the Magic lost 114-107 to the Pacers in Indianapolis. Coach Johnny Davis expects to use Nailon, a four-year veteran, at power forward.

    "He's the kind of guy who can come in immediately and play," Davis said. "He's been around and has shown an ability to score. He has an opportunity here."

    Nailon, waived by the Atlanta Hawks on Dec. 29, has career averages of 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds. Orlando's up-tempo offense was attractive to him, plus Nailon said he is friends with Tyronn Lue, Drew Gooden and Shammond Williams.

    "I was talking with a few other teams," Nailon said. "I was a better fit here. I liked the Magic's style."</div>

    He will stay here, he played big minutes at the end of the Celtics game tonight, so he'll stay.
