Otis Smith denied a report on Wednesday that indicated the Magic have had discussions with the Wizards about a possible trade for Gilbert Arenas.

“I’ve not had any conversation with them since June, and his name never came up,” Smith said.

Washington owner Ted Lonsis also denied the accuracy of the report.

In an e-mail message to The Washington Post, Leonsis wrote, “It isn’t true. I wouldn’t tell you if it was true but I am telling you that it is not true.”
