Nacionālās Basketbola Asociācijas (NBA) klubs Orlando "Magic" esot sācis aktīvas pārrunas ar Vašingtonas "Wizards" par iespējamo spēlētāju maiņu, kuras rezultātā no galvaspilsētas uz Floridu pārceltos aizsargs Gilberts Arenass.
Pēc pieciem zaudējumiem pēdējās sešās spēlēs savu ārējo līniju pastiprināt nolēmis Orlando "Magic", kas izskata iespēju iemainīt Vašingtonas "Wizards" aizsargu Gilbertu Arenasu. Pēc Ziemeļamerikas mediju informācijas Arenass jau privātās sarunās esot atklājis, ka sagaida pārcelšanos no ASV galvaspilsētas kluba uz dienvidos esošo Orlando.
Pagaidām gan neesot skaidrs, no kā gatavs šķirties "Magic" klubs, lai iegūtu Arenasu. Pastāvot iespēja, ka darījumā tiktu iekļauts otrais rezultatīvākais komandas spēlētājs Vinss Kārters, kuram šis ir pēdējais līguma gads, kā arī centrs Marcins Gortats. Tāpat "Wizards" labprāt tiktu pie kādas drafta izvēles, kas būtu no pirmās kārtas. Tiekot izskatīti arī citi varianti, kas ļautu iemainīt Gilbertu Arenasu.
Kamēr abu klubu attiecīgie pārstāvji veic pārrunas, abas komandas šonakt aizvadīs savas kārtējās regulārās sezonas spēles. Orlando viesosies Filadelfijas "76ers", bet Vašingtonas "Wizards" uzņems Maiami "Heat". Starp citu, šo spēli Vašingtonā ieplānojis apmeklēt ASV prezidents Baraks Obama.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the Magic is looking to make a change to shake up a team that has lost five of its past six games, but noted it would prefer to acquire Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets. Two weeks ago, a league source said that the Magic is also interested in Chris Paul.

Orlando Magic close on sending Vince Carter to...
iisumaa..
°The proposed trade, which one source gave a "90 percent" chance of happening, would return former Magic star Hedo Turkoglu, along with Jason Richardson, to Orlando in exchange for Vince Carter and Marcin Gortat.
The deal is likely to be completed within the next 24 hours, according to the sources.

All-pro center Dwight Howard is on board with all of the deals the Magic made, according to a source, feeling that Orlando did not have the same energy this season that it had had in the last couple of years. Howard can opt out of his contract after next season and become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2012, the same offseason that New Orleans guard Chris Paul would be free. That would obviously create a free agent frenzy similar to that of this past summer, when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade headed a star-studded free agent class.
The mega deals completely change the face of the Magic,who are sitting with a solid 16-9 record this season, and reunites Turkoglu with the team where he played his best basketball, helping lead Orlando to the Finals in 2009 at power forward alongside Howard. It also will reunite Arenas and Richardson, who starred together early in their careers in Golden State.
But Turkoglu has been a disaster ever since. He flamed out after signing a big free agent contract in Toronto, lasting just one season with the Raptors before being dealt during the offseason in a trade for guard Leandro Barbosa. And Turkoglu also struggled in Phoenix. The Suns had hoped he could play the hybrid power forward position that they've used to great effect in past seasons with Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw. But Turkoglu never figured out a way to play with Steve Nash, and his energy was so low, a team source said, that he was beginning to drag down the effectiveness of backup guard Goran Dragic as well.
"It was almost like he retired," the source said.
The Suns had to do something, barely on the periphery of the playoff race in the west at 12-13 after making the Western Conference finals last season. Phoenix needs size, and the 6-foot-10 Gortat should be able to step in immediately and help inside. Pietrus had fallen out of favor with Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, but seems tailor made to play the up-tempo style Phoenix loves to run with Nash at the controls. The gamble is with the 33-year-old Carter, who has not been the same high-flying player he'd been earlier in his career.
The hope is that the Suns can get Carter interested "in being a helluva player again," the source said, but the gamble is minimal because Carter's $18 million contract for next season is only guaranteed for $4 million next season.
