    If Grant Hill isn't going to work out for the Orlando Magic, how about Lamar Odom? "If things broke perfectly, there are some good things that could happen for us," coach Doc Rivers said in the Florida Today. "But certain teams out there have to act normal and that's kind of scary for us right now." With Hill expected to miss the upcoming season, the Magic could have three salary-cap exceptions available to sign free agents: the $4.8 million medical exception for Hill, the $4.8 million mid-level exception and the $1.5 million veteran's exception. "We still have a chance to look like a very young team with the acquisition of one or two more players that are in their age group, that can play together for the next 10 years. That would be tremendous for us," GM John Gabriel said in the Orlando Sentinel. "We always believed that Grant Hill, in good faith, would be back. So we put our finger in the dam with [Patrick] Ewing and Horace [Grant] and Shawn [Kemp]. Now we're taking the approach that, at this point, Grant won't be back and that maybe it's not the best thing" to sign an older veteran. It hasn't worked as well for us."

    i agree. i think odom if he's healthy and has rid his problems then he could be good, but i'd rather get a good center than a good guard.
