If the Magic believe that they can lure soon-to-be Boston Celtics center Mark Blount to Orlando with warm weather, then they might have a problem competing with the Miami Heat, who are also are interested in Blount, for his services.

Not only does Miami have warmer weather but they are also closer to Blount's offseason residence in Boca Raton.

"I just love the warm weather there in the summertime," he said.

Blount and the rest of the NBA's free agents can start talking to teams on July 1 and can formally sign contracts on July 14.
