The Magic appear to be a legitimate contender to land free agent Carlos Boozer.

The Deseret News reports that Orlando could work a sign-and-trade with Utah in order to acquire the power forward.

CBS Sports reported late Wednesday that Boozer is on All-Star center Dwight Howard's "short list" of preferred offseason acquisitions.

Orlando is over the NBA's salary cap, making a sign-and-trade the only avenue in which they could land Boozer.
