Otis Smith said he has not offered the Magic's $2.6 million injury exception -- relief for the season-ending injury to Tony Battie -- to any free-agent big man. He said there have been no serious trade discussions, although he conceded that dealing for a big is the more likely route. He said the Magic have no interest in signing PF Chris Webber, for instance.

"If they don't fit in with what we're doing, why go get them?" Smith said.

Smith said he talked to P.J. Brown's camp before the season started. "I already explored that option," he said. "And P.J. is retired."
