You may recall the thread I initiated a couple days ago about the NBA not granting Orlando a medical exception to the salaray cap for Grant Hill. Turns out there's a little more to the story. Orlando, despite denials otherwise, was going to make a deal for Olowkandi if they got the exception. Read it here.

Also very interesting that the doctor who made the ruling won't even acknowledge he was that doctor. You'd think the NBA was formulating plans for a new collective bargaining agreement or something. Would have been interesting for Orlando to throw a front line of Howard-Gooden-Kandi out there on the inside with McGrady on the outside.
