Magic General Manager Otis Smith said on Tuesday that the signing of Pietrus will exhaust most of the team's midlevel exception.

Magic's Bogans Captures Starting Spot Over Redick
In USA TODAY, John Denton writes "Keith Bogans' reign as the Orlando Magic's starting shooting guard lasted exactly one game this preseason before head coach Stan Van Gundy benched him, chewed him out in the locker room and called him out publicly to the media. In an odd sort of way, that actually brought a smile to Bogans' face. It was, Bogans said, exactly the opposite of the treatment he got last season under former Magic coach Brian Hill." - Read More...

Rockets' Bench Rides to Rescue
"On the night before the one-month anniversary of his acquisition, Rockets guard/forward Keith Bogans straddled a Toyota Center foul line with 3.5 seconds remaining and an opportunity to seal a hard-fought, borderline-miraculous win over the Indiana Pacers," writes Moisekapenda Bower of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE. "Bogans had to push through the mental anguish of having already missed four free throws on Wednesday, and the physical fatigue of having played 22 of 24 second-half minutes ? including the entire, grueling fourth quarter." - Read More...

Barry Given Chance to Play Elsewhere
Jonathan Feigen of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE writes, ?The Rockets handed out 8,000 game programs with Jon Barry on the cover Wednesday, the same day they handed Barry his release. With that confluence of events, the Rockets gave a clear picture of how valued Barry had been, and how small his role had become. One of the keys to last season's second-half turnaround, Barry was replaced in this season's rotation by rookie Luther Head and last month's acquisition of Keith Bogans. Barry was released Wednesday because to be eligible to be part of another team's playoff roster, players must be free agents by March 1. The Denver Nuggets, among other teams, have expressed interest in Barry, but Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said Barry was considering retirement.? - Read More...
