MAGIC SAY THEY MAY REAPPEAR IN O-RENA FOR FIVE MORE YEARS

          The Magic, "hinting for months that they want a new
     building, now are willing to play at least five more years
     at the Orlando Arena with only minor modifications" to the
     $110M facility, according to Dan Tracy of the ORLANDO
     SENTINEL.  Magic Exec VP Jack Swope: "We're not looking to
     get out of this building today and go find our own product.
     ... [W]e want to continue it."  Tracy reports that city
     officials "welcomed the news but cautioned that no deal has
     been struck" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 4/17).
