The Orlando Magic have exercised its right of first refusal and retained restricted free agent center Marcin Gortat, General Manager Otis Smith officially announced today.  Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.  Orlando had seven days to match an offer sheet made to Gortat by Dallas on July 8.

?Having quality big men is an absolute must in our league, and Marcin (Gortat) has worked very hard to fit into that category,? said Smith. ?He provides tremendous depth to our frontcourt and we?re happy to bring him back.?
