The Magic could make a move for Corey Maggette within the next few weeks in an effort to bring him back to where he begin his career, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

He has until Monday night to opt out of his contract with the Clippers and has reportedly been telling friends that he wants Orlando to make a competitive offer for his services.

"I think he'd come back in a heartbeat," said a friend of Maggette. "It's something he'd love to see happen."

The Magic only have the mid-level exception ($5.8 million) to offer, but they could assemble a deal worth roughly $40 million over five years.
